If it were only a 66.

WOW, what a gaudy stripe. Good thing it's a "wrap". I wonder what the actual body looks like under the vinyl... May not be such a great deal if it needs a lot of metal work.

Intresting. I wonder if the ad was edited. I dont recall it mentioning it was a vinyl stripe before. No big deal, that can be removed. Do they use much salt in Iowa? I figured it was worth posting since you dont see many 66-67 converts for under 15 grand anymore these days.

"Car needs restoration and is currently covered in a vinyl wrap"
I take that to mean more than just the stripe. Sounds like it is all a wrap...
And yes, they have used salt in IA for as long as MN. It could be a real rust bomb underneath. Dan is pretty close to Mason City. Maybe he could look at it if someone is seriously interested.

Depending upon how long that graphics/vinyl wrap stuff has been on (and what grade was used) you'll find out very quickly where there's paint damage and bodywork... it'll peel off right with the wrap!

I don't understand the term vinyl wrap that is used in the ad. I though it was something similar to how they wrap the sail boats down here in Lake City for winter storage. And the photo was an old photo and a buyer would have to wait for spring to remove the wrap.

That's what I thought (shrink-wrapped boat) at first, but reading it I'm thinking it has a solid color vinyl on it... imagine this but one color:
It's a very sticky 2 or 3mm vinyl that can be printed with anything. You've seen it on buses.
Looks like a nice 67 Convertible. Looks good in the pics for 12 grand. That could be a pretty good deal.

At least it can be removed without painting. At least thats how that vinyl stuff is designed.
