I bought this as a parts car for $1000. It was a sight unseen thing and I wasn’t expecting much. It was advertised as a 302 5 speed. That’s pretty much all the ad said other than it was a 1973.
Turns out it actually is a 5 speed. Someone installed a T-5 conversion kit. So the car just paid for itself. It has power disc brakes and a clock console. I was wanting all those items so I am happy. The bad part is the roof is gone and both front fenders are toast. The good is the engine turns over and electrics work. It’s a parts car and for $1K I think I did ok. It’s a shame though as this was a roadworthy car in 2005. Inspection tag was last done in 05. Receipts for work accomplished in 2006 and 2007. It just sat unprotected and not driven.
