Default New to Me 1972 Coupe

Just bought this 1972 numbers matching, 350ci, PS, PB, auto, Ontario Orange/saddle Coupe. Odometer is showing 62,327 miles with documentation verifying mileage and past ownership from present to when purchased new. A very nice unmolested better than driver quality Vette. Side exhaust added years ago, but done right with the rear lower valance panel mod.

nice car! If it is that original, are you having thoughts of returning the exhaust back to factory?

I like the side exhaust, so no thoughts about changing back at this time.

What month was it built?? Sorry not trying to hijack your thread. I would check the age of those tires if your planning on putting any miles on them. Could they be Repros? Ike

General Ike: Yes, those tires were JUNK. The seller lived 5 miles from my house. He drove it over and I parked it in the garage. I did not want to take a chance on driving on pubic roads with those old tires (20 years ++). Jacked it up and took off all four tires to get them replaced before I drove it....

Build date: March 13, 1972

Very nice looking 72, but I'm partial to 72's having owned 7 over the years.
