What's CnC? 1970 formula? Auto? Ra3? It looks solid.

Correct. The scoops did not look to be opened by the factory. Auto.

Beat up but solid.

Looks like Granada Gold with Sandalwood interior..., and originally had a vinyl top. I wonder what color that was.

Looks like she was born with a vinyl roof, hopefully the metal around the rear window is good. PHS would be interesting to see on this -- that spoiler looks like a possible add-on, for example. Looks fairly complete, though.

Definitely add-on. No 70 Bird had a rear spoiler except the TA.

That looks like such a fun car to me. Don’t worry where you park it, solid , probably runs pretty good. Lots of fun

I wanna find a 350 car just like it.

I'd like to find one like that too. Less caution, more driving.
