This is a photo that was given to me when I purchased the P7, it’s the location where it was put up for sale at the
Flagtown Service Center back in the 70's I’ll guess . Notice the Arrow sealed beam conversion kit on it. not the original
set up as we have now. You know, it didn’t look all that sweet back then, and really went to sleep for a lot of years
as it was slowly devoured by rust . I'm sort of glad to have saved this classic..
I did some research on the coupe and funny that it was sold at the gas station in Flagtown NJ. To a guy my wife went to
school with, Don had bought it back in the late 70"s from what I have been told. This picture of the Coupe is where it was
for sale , according to a old pic I got with the car and to this day the gas station is still in operation.
This is a list of what we have in the coupe :
First and formost a deep thanks to Becky for bringing out the kid in me again and to my Wife Deb for seeing us through
