I love how the auction description says there were"limited frame repairs". The frame was repaired with bondo. I've never understood how anyone can buy a car without seeing it in person.

I don't understand why Haggerty was even involved if this wasn't an accident claim

It got trim if it doesn't have side stripes

My 72 was built second week of December 71 and has the seatbelt light

As an engineer you should know that the location of the scoops is not very effective for ram air. That far back from the front edge is actually a low pressure area. Compared to the air pressure under the hood coming in from the grill, any additional from the small ram air inlets is meaningless...

E-torx. You can get them at Harbor Freight if there is one near you.

I’m glad you posted that pic. I definitely have the 73 and need a 72 support to grill bracket. Anyone have one? Maybe a 73 owner who has the wrong one and wants to swap. Sorry to the OP for hijacking. I think I have a 71 double vertical bracket somewhere but I don’t think it has the pieces...

I have the Mach 1 honeycomb grill. I need to get the car down off the lift and take a look. I assume that the different brackets are because of a different offset to the grills between 72-73 with the deeper bumper. I’m thinking I have the 73 bracket, as the bolt holes are off by about 3/4 of...

Is the vertical support different for 72 and 73? The bracket I have that connects to the grille doesn't match up with the stew holes on the vertical support, so I'm wondering if I have mismatched pieces. Mine is a 72, but when I bought the car it had a 73 front clip on it (fenders and bumper)...

Ski racing in winter, mountain biking, surfing and kayaking in summer. I also just started restoring vintage computers, which is forcing me to actually learn how electricity works, which has always been my weak spot with cars.

I would also pull apart the master cylinder as well, since those o rings may also not be compatible. I put a brand new MC in the car before storing it, and the o rings on the piston failed and leaked into the power booster, so I had to replace that as well. PS, fire that mechanic after you make...

You will also need to rebuild your distribution block if you haven’t don’t it already. The original o rings are not compatible. I know from experience. I put dot 5 in when I put my car into storage 25 years ago. When I restarted my project 2 years ago every single seal in the brake system...

Aside from the time capsule “barn finds”, there are really very few cars left that are worth doing a concours restoration on anyway. I’ve never understood the desire to have a show queen anyway. In truth, if you have any desire to actually drive the car you’re better off modifying anyway. I...
