Don't anyone touch it !!!
The front is 77 GLS the rear is early 76 LS.
What does that tell you ?
Apart from being saved from doing your dough.

Please enlighten me! I am interested as we used to own it and it was not chopped then...

Sure was Eri, cut and shuts are illegal and have been for many years, it was probably done in the 1980s.
Not even a good job then.

Interesting...thanks for enlightening me...the current owner did say he had some issues fitting a chrome bumper to the front - and I just looked at our pics of when we owned it and it had a plastic bumper on the front and chrome on the back...

Is it a swallowtail panel fitted to the rear or entire rear bodywork?

[Vinda76]

Out of interest what is the difference the front of a 76 and 77, apart from the bonnet?

For someone who says they have been around since the arc has never heard of a cut and shut.

[sports racer]

My apologies, I thought replacing the entire rear bodywork was a cut-and-shut. I just wanted clarification on how much had been replaced.

[Peter Jones]

Pretty common to replace a nose or tail skin.

Cut and shut usually implies 2 separate cars cut through the door holes and joined together.

Interested as to why you thought it's a cut and shut.
No doubt it's had a front end, but that could have been just a crash repair. (how well it was done, always an issue)

Whom is your comment meant for?

I'd say the comment is meant for this person, the only one here who's said not to touch this car because the front is 77 GLS and the rear is early 76 LS.

Passenger floor pan is basically gone, but it isn't that bad a deal, probably $800 in repairs to make right

If it was VIC/NSW/SA/SE Qld I would probably own it, but Tas transport is harder
