Mine must have been an early 73 with a serial #245270. I see you are looking at the blue glow. In 73 it was a $42.50 option with the tut one hood another $21.60. Priciest option on mine was the 4 speed manual transmission at $233.70

That's what I was looking for. For whatever reason mine is missing

Thanks for the help. Should have mentioned that I have a 4 speed manual.

Just remembered that my back up lights are not connected to the transmission. I have found the wire that comes out near the gear shift lever, but not finding a switch to connect to. Does anyone know what kind of switch is used or where it is located to activate the back up lights. Worst case...

Thanks for the info. The car is moving to the car garage waiting for a rear bumper and door panels. Hopefully she will be ready for when the snow leaves

Finally after a short winter build the project is close to the end. I inherited the car from my dad who bought it when he turned 40 then never drove it. I hope I don't make the same mistake. The only problem is the 1/4 of gravel before I hit the cement. This photo makes me excited. Is there...

Also on my search list. Good thing you are not looking for the rear window. My glass guy was nervous taking it out. If I find a supplier I will put up a post

Tried finding some clips for my vinyl roof. Got angry then installed speaker covers. Finally had the underside of the hood sprayed. This weekend paint. Can't wait
