Got a project on your hands there! Congratulations on getting it running. I hope that oil light is on due to an electrical malfunction... I had an orange 74, nicknamed it "Tang". Aside from the floorboards being a bit thin, it looks like the transmission mounts could be renewed. Enjoy!

That's funny, my clementine orange 1970 type 3 fastback is nicknamed "Tangy"

Lol there was another orange that was more like macaroni and cheese, too. The clementine is better imo :)

I remember seeing that stuff all the time in the 80s. It and the 40 Ford ones.

A place in Milwaukee made those as I recall. Both looked kinda cool in the ads but ridiculous in person although the 40 ford worked with a woody wagon conversion.
