she was 27 years ago lol
my first thought's were to buy the car for the engine and trans for my daughters 69 charger...
however I am thinking this would make a great daily driver for myself...
so I am seriously thinking of fixing it up and driving it....I will sell it for around $2400 if anyone is interested. other than that, this weekend should be spend getting it running, replacing the hooptie wheels with some stock ones and just cleaning it up a bit.
I am pretty excited about it, I have always loved this car from back in the day when my teacher had it...
oh and YY1 I am with ya on the redhair bud.... Love me a redheaded woman, my wife is a brunette with just a hint of red

Hey Harper - can you post a few more photos showing the AC lines and how they are routed? I'm in the process of doing a complete underhood resto on my 72 SSP. My plans are to re-install the AC after the previous owner removed it. Photos would be great since it looks as if your 72 is orginal under the hood.

I sure can, it may be Saturday before I get them posted up, but I def can hook u up with pictures..
I may need the same somewhere down the road on other items, so I am glad to be able to do my part.
I did a pretty good walk down of the car tonight after it was delivered today. I am stoked at how original it is and how decent of shape its in.
I have always been a FORD guy, but my first car was a 64 dodge dart 4 dr ...so I still have MOPAR in my blood
I will do my best to crank this beast Saturday and will post up more pics of the ac lines etc...

ok today I put on a missing coil wire from the dist. still would not crank...
ran 12 volt wire straight from battery to coil + and still would not crank...
ah...now I remember it has points on this old model, lol filed the points and poured gas straight into the 1V carb and it fires off.
runs for a few seconds and I mean 2 or 3 maybe, then dies.
it seems to be lacking getting fuel, I will investigate the fuel system farther tomorrow when I get up.
the key switch has been replaced however the starter will not spin over with the key...had to old school it with a screw driver across the solenoid.
pics to follow on the ac system 43tutor
