Well scored a sweet 3rd gen today!! I know I need to finish the 69 but I absolutely could not pass this one up. Its a 73 model with a strong 360 and a pistol grip 4 speed. It has new wheels and tires, has aluminum intake, edelbrock 4 bbl, headers dual exhaust. Has new brakes and tie rod ends, new fuel line. He had the car at his house but all the interior was at a upholstery shop the buckets, rear seat buddy seat, and upper door panels, have been recovered. The a pillars, sailpanels, headliner trim, etc. have all been dyed also at the shop (interior changed to white). So I buy the car, then pay the upholstry guy for his material and labor and get all the new interior (I just need to install).
In the trunk was new carpet, new headliner, and a bag full of year one goodies (seat spacers, dome light lens, door locks, int screw kit, etc.) All I need for the interior is a dash cap and repaint the frame. And the body is in great shape, a little bubbling on the pass. door and rear of trunk lid, and thats about it rust wise. It has a nice buldge hood w/pins. It can use a repaint, and I dont really dig the aqua color.
I am so stoked, I just drove it home, 100 miles from where I bought it... and this thing ran great with no problems. I know the 69 is still gonna be a while, but I've been wanting a nice driver to enjoy while I finish the other one.
I want you 3rd gen guys to chime in and tell me what you think its worth.
Here are some crappy pics, I just got home, it was dark and starting to rain so I snapped a couple of quick pics, I promise I will get some better ones tomorrow.
Later,
Jason
