I think that would buff out nicely  ;)

A coat of NuFinish and a dab of Armorall here and there and she's gonna look like new ;D

I've seen worse rebuilt.  I just saw an article on a BMW roadster that had broken in half under the doors and was resurrected.

But that IS a bad case.

It could use an Earl Scheib paint job: "Any car, any color, only $99.95, no ups, no extras!"

Sometimes bumpers and window glass, too. They weren't too careful about masking.

If only Earl Scheib and Madman Muntz were still around, you could fix up that TR-6 like new and go cruising with your 4-track blaring.

Could be. Never saw it, so I don't know. I was talking about Earl "Madman" Muntz, who invented the first four-track tape and built the first inexpensive TVs and the Muntz Jet.

I had a Muntz stereo 8-track (complete with the logo of the little Napoleon guy with the tricorner hat) in my '66 GTO.

well, if that's the benchmark, then I'm in good shape too.

My doctor told me I'm in pretty good shape overall....and I am a fair bit older than any TR-6.
