More information on this car as submitted:

Found it on FaceBook about two weeks ago – I ran to buy it, cause the body looked SOLID – frame rails are solid as well and most parts are present. The interior is trashed, but has remnants of a floral pattern on what’s left of the back seat – though, the pattern is not the typical “mod top” pattern – it looks more like irises (the flower). [Note from Mod Top Registry: the D6J code for the interior does not indicate any floral at all. The “irises” must be old seat cover remnants]. The vinyl top and trim are long gone. Anyway, before I got it home I ran the fender tag, and it came back as a “full vinyl top – yellow floral” so I thought it to be a floral top car. Also – though the original engine is not in the car – I may have a line to the old owner, who has the original block. I haven’t been able to verify the numbers on the transmission.
