My cousin has a blue with white stripes 76 sitting rusting in my uncles back yard. It is parked right in front of an 85 4 eye GT He swears he is going to finish them one day, but they are both in worse shape now than when he bought them. The 4 eye was done, only needing exhaust put on and it has now sat for over 10 years and the drivers window was broken by debris tossed around in a storm many years ago. Now it is a home to field mice and other rodents. The 76, is worse.

Joe,
That reminds me of 1965 GT Mustang that has been parked (never moved) at a house by our shop since at least 1987. I drive by it every day. One day it will be nothing more than a pile of Fe2O3.
Sad to watch it die a slow death.

If you donate a car to me, I will drive the hell out of it and make up for that Mustang.

Patrick-
I too recall seeing side pipes on that car when I was a kid. The one in my neighborhood was white w/ blue stripes.

Yay!! I'm cancelling my pre-dementia screening checkup. The reason I remember it so well was because at the time I was struck with how stupid it was to put fake side pipes on a car.

After market side pipes were big in the 70s.
It could have been a Kit.

Are you sure it wasn't a model kit you saw the side pipes on?
I remember side pipes but I also was building a lot of model cars at the time.
