Default I'm BACK...Pics

Not a stranger to the forums, been around here for a long time. Many posts on OT as well as PR&C over the years. I sold my '74 Coupe back in '08 for reasons I won't get into here. Regardless, I just picked up this '73 Coupe last week. Few small problems, nothing that I shouldn't be able to handle.

Excuse the Cell phone quality pics, I'll get better ones when I can.













L82 4 speed car with Power Brakes, Power Steering. Respray in red is of decent quality. Car sports a 4160 Holley, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Long Tubes and Magnaflows. Older suspension rebuild with KYB Gas Adjusts...they need to be replaced. Everything works for the most part, but it has a few small problems. Runs like a champ! Fast enough for my weenie disposition. I reskinned it with Cooper Cobra Radials for now, it needed tires badly. Solid west coast car with no frame problems and a solid birdcage. Happy happy happy

Interior needs very little work FYI, and the exterior I would call a 8 out of 10.
