The best part about this '72 is that it's a '73! The guy selling it should at least know what year the dang thing is before listing it! :skep:

Given the pride owners here put in there cars, and how desireable the cards are to begin with, you wonder how these get let go so bad. What a mess. :cry

expect very hard front end hit to put a soft nose front clip on a '72.
also, something isn't correct about the serial number, it doesn't show up in my black book.
i'll bid $2k.

just talked to the seller.
says previous owner had 'daytona' front on it. presumably that's why it has a '73 front clip :confused:
not going to bag on the guy but the reserve is more than double what i would pay for that car. :nonod:

Just has a 73 front clip. The engine code in the VIN is correct for a 72 (but not all the VIN is listed).

I don't think so.. If they had the rubber nose - they were the 73 model...

never heard of that one before. not an authority but i'm going to have to go with 'no'. fairly comfortable in saying that.
still i say that is a $2000 car, but on ebay i wouldn't be surprised if the guy gets 8k for it.
