“Honey B”
Early 74 Chrome Bumper. Bought it a couple years ago, local car originally. Repainted at some point but original bracken orange. Huge laundry list of repairs and improvements. Had Weber DGV installed but hated it, now back to the original HIF4 SU Carbs. Runs ok not great. not much rust . Fun car. I Rent it out on Hagerty DRIVESHARE and it gets alot of interest. It helps pay for all the upgrades and fixing. It has been in magazines, movies, weddings and just recently in a commercial for Dutch Bros. Coffee here in Portland.
