That sounds like a great buy. I paid 5k for mine but it was all in boxes. Pics would be great. Welcome to the forum.

Depending on the paint and the shape of the interior 8 Large is a pretty darn good price in my opinion... the 73 is a one year only car with the soft nose and the chrome rear bumpers which for me anyway is a major plus...

Paint is expensive the interior not nearly so much...the regular parts for these cars are not expensive and they are easy to work on...

Thanks Everyone. I kind of figured it was worth 10k to 12k being that it is in such good shape and so original. but i was just guessing from the limited research i did.
