although touched up on the outside, this is a very low mileage survivor car.  I went to look at it with a friend of mine when a friend of his (still following?) was interested in buying it.  I made sure to take pictures of a lot of the original details.   I'm posting the car more as a reference for those who want it.

soory they seem random--my friend and I were looking at specific things that day, and my camera was being a pain in the ass.

that's funny that we both pulled back the hood edge rubber to photograph the rivets...


between the two sets of pics i don't think much was missed.  i'm impressed with some of the paper tags he found, too--I should send these pics on to sue so she can add them if necessary.

This is just a side note, but the photo's on the WW page aren't all of the Dressler car though. The ones on the bottom of the page linked by Dave go to the survivor car that the Malcoms own. Just in case anyone wanted to know. But they are two different cars.

Sorry to bring up such an old topic but does anyone know where this car went when it was sold?  I worked alongside this car for many years as the Parts Manager at Dressler Motors and found this thread trying to dig up some pics of the old girl last night.  It was my prodding that got the Dealer Principal to bring the car out of storage upstairs and let me clean her up to put in the showroom and the local car show around 1996 or so.  I was looking at the of the engine to see if it still had a blue fuel pump.  The pump was bad when we got her downstairs and no one in our small town had one so I donated the pump off my '69 Coronet 500 Convertible's 383 to the cause.  If I remember right we also rebuilt the carb at the same time.  At any rate after the car show that weekend we kept the car in the showroom with the '93 Viper and '96 Viper GTS for many years.  If I my old info is correct, it was one of two that were never titled and the one with the least mileage.
