ISO 1973 RR history

[AFT1973]

Hey all. I’m new to the forum. I recently became the caretaker of a 1973 RR. VIN: RM21P3G241886

My brother in law purchased the car in about 2007/2008 after it had been restored. Unfortunately, he had little info, and has since passed away.

Story goes it was restored “down south” and made its way to SO-CAL. On the windshield is a sticker from the 2002 Crusin the Coast in Mississippi.

Any info or leads greatly appreciated.

Welcome aboard Sir, from the middle of the mitten. Best of luck with your search.

Welcome aboard from NJ. I am sure someone here will chime in to help with decoding your (very Nice) RR!

The decoder didn't know the V9R code, maybe someone else can chime in on that one.

I think your "M51" is actually "H51" air conditioning.

I think your "M51" is actually "H51" air conditioning.

Now that I look at the car, yep, definitely not M51!

Some of the tags lately are really challenging my eyes and magnifying glass.

Much appreciated!! Thank you

I think your "M51" is actually "H51" air conditioning.

Definitely has a/c. Just non operational at the moment.

 

[AFT1973]

Now that I look at the car, yep, definitely not M51!

Some of the tags lately are really challenging my eyes and magnifying glass.

After 50 my eyes haven’t been the same. I definitely understand.

 

[AFT1973]

Found another piece of the puzzle. Found the original key chain / keys that brother in law received with the car. Does this mean car spent some time in Birmingham?

St. Louis plant to Alabama to California? How many stops in between?

V9R: Red hood stripe

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Nice car!

 

[DeltaV]

On the windshield is a sticker from the 2002 Crusin the Coast in Mississippi.

Maybe @biomedtechguy has time to chime in. He's old enough to remember back that far.

V9R: Red hood stripe

Nice car!

At some point it was swapped out. Maybe it’ll make a return.

[Builderguy]

I concur.
I think V8R is sport stripes Red and V9R is Hood stripes Red

Have you looked for the Broadcast Sheet?

Stumbled across it earlier. I doubt any records exist.

No. Not yet.
