Finally got my 72!! Dialup Beware!
After searching for just the right car, I finally picked up my 72 just outside of Chicago. What a long day Saturday was!! It was well worth it.
Bone stock 1972 Warbonnet Yellow/Black Interior. No PB or PS or PW or PL, but I'm glad it has T/T. Of course it's going to need a complete restoration as the frame has rotted infront of the rear wheels, but the birdcage is in excellent condition, came with 2 brand new trailing arms ... and it's mine!! All for only $4800! BTW, that's the previous owner in the picture, not me!

Sounds and looks like you did real good. I would have paid $5000.00
in a heart beat to get something like that. Looks like a very good starting
point for bringing this baby back to the limelight.
:hurray: :cheers:

Am I wrong or did I see this one on Ebay? It looked like a nice car over all but the owner mentioned the frame rot and didn't include any pictures. Looks like you did well. Hope you don't find any unpleasant surprizes. Will we see you on Woodward Ave. sometime soon?
Good Luck! :thumbs:

:party: YAY...Another 72 owner!!! Yours looks similar to the condition of mine when I bought it. Although I paid more cause of the PS, PB, PW, Air, Rear Defrost. I live near Chicago...Where did you get it from?? Good Luck with the restoration.

Nice score!!! Now the fun part begins. Lots of work to be done. Does it run and drive now or are you just going to start tearing into it?

That'll be sharp if you make it as nice as your '76. I like the price too.
Where'd that guy live? Looks like in the middle of nowhere. :D
