My brother ordered this 1973 in October of 1972. The car was delivered to him on March 29, 1973. This picture was taken in early April of 1973




I have owned the car since 1977 and the car now has 33,1XX miles on it and it is unrestored with original paint and interior.

I’ll play, my first 69 in 1981 on the day I sold it. It was originally silver but I prepped and painted it myself at home using lacquer in a light metallic silver blue that was actually a Ford color. It was a base 300hp auto that I rebuilt to LT1 specs and installed an L88 torque converter and shift kit in the turbo 400. Rebuilt the diff too with 4.10 gear set and a Moroso brute strength posi case.

How short our memory is. Just search for 1970s mens hairstyles.

My frost beige 81 in 88. It was documented to be built on the last day of St Louis production.
