My second car was a 1976 Doba. I really loved that car but forgot about it as with most things from the disco era. Lately I've become interested in restomods and when I say this Hermance design image the concept was crystalized. The paint scheme I've chosen is black with green flake (it shows black at night and green in sunlight) and cream for the offsetting colour

I spent five months looking fore the right car at the right price. It's a 75 fully optioned out and last driven in 87. It has 60M miles and I bought it from the original owner. Here are some images as we found it in Vulcan Alberta.
We inflated the tires and they stayed inflated. we installed a new battery, disconnected the coil wire and turned the engine over for 10 minutes. Two cans on inhibitor and fresh gas were put in the tank. The coil wire was reconnected and it started right away. Everything in the car works except for the air conditioner.
I had it trucked home to Oakville. It is now in the shop to have work on the transmission and the rear brakes converted to disc brakes and set up for the custom wheels. Meanwhile I removed the rear seat and brought it home to see how the Corinthian leather would clean up. It really came out good
This is my second collector car. I'm toying with the idea of using it as a tow vehicle for a trailer queen. If I should live so long and can find the $$$ the queen would be a 1958 De Soto Adventurer
