Love it!Some old photos of my 1971 Plymouth Fury III and also a few new ones. The two primered photos in the driveway are circa 1987. The black photo is how dad purchased it, 1974. The last 2 are 2018.

I totally agree with what your saying. My grandfather got the car from my dad(1987 or so), got it running again and had it primered, ugh! Wish he didn't do it! And to think, he was going to paint it "candy apple red" . The hood was destroyed when the engine caught fire in '82(fire dept butchered it with their Halligan tool trying to open the hood). Dad sourced a hood from a green Plymouth, so that's what it has now.I did jack cars up, and loud exhaust, traction bars even, silly...but primer?
Just wondering, 4dr tuna boat like this, how many cans, like 1- 2 cases?
If I'd primered this I'd hide or burn the pics.

All over kids primered perfectly good paint jobs on cars - Chevelles, Mustangs, GTO's etc - that sell for insane dough now, mostly on account the perpetually deflating nature of our currency.
I have a remnant of the Broadcast sheet, "New Jersey Police ". Here are some other photos, including the fender tag. It was hard to read, so removal and flipping the photo was necessary. I'll dig up moreThank you for posting, @A38E86D32 -- do you have pics of the fender tag and/or build sheets, and of the interior, that you could share?
Have you looked into using black wrap? Might be a more cost effective than paint.I totally agree with what your saying.

I'm stripping it to bare metal, SPI epoxy, primer surfacer, and returning it to it's former black glory (bc/cc)
Goes with with it's M1XA Vinyl/cloth bench interior!
