Default Making Progress

Well after 2 years I finally got it back together. This is a numbers matching completely original stock 1972 base T-top coupe that I have had since I was a kid. During covid I needed a project so I had the motor and trans rebuilt and then went through it fixing everything that didn’t work. Some things were probably unnecessary like seat belt buzzer, door ajar lights, courtesy lights and original alarm. But it kept me busy and was mostly fun.

Very sharp! You definitely have one to be proud of! It's hard to keep them clean during almond harvest though. Best get her in the garage.
