    R code Grande

    The yellow 72 R code is gone. Destroyed in a fire. I have seen a white base coupe R code, and a red loaded coupe R code. So that is 3 of them. Could be 4 left. Who knows.

    R code sportsroof-how many are left? Any owners on the forum?

    Wellllll, I got my first R code back a month ago. Pretty much just like I sold it. Paint needs some love. Interior near perfect. Runs great….after some minor tuning.

    My old 1972 R code

    Nice.  Wish I had my old 72 R code back.  Just should have saved my pennies better.  Now I have more invested in 2 non running fixer uppers than I could have bought my old car back!

    Painting spoiler and back panel

    I have had good results with SEM trim black.  It has a little more texture than the hot rod black.  But the hot rod black is closer to the right level of semi gloss.

    71 Mach1(Trans Am) 2" nose drop

    thanks for noticing my cars!  Cool build on yours. I also used Moffats car as inspiration.  My theme is: what would I have built in 70 or 71 if had an uncle in the know, but a small budget.   i suggest:  watts link.  Fays II is easy to install and functions exactly like original cars. Big...

    71 Mach1(Trans Am) 2" nose drop

    I vintage road raced my 72 H.O. for many years. Currently, I race a faithful Boss 302 T/A replica.  Good stuff.  I highly discourage a 351C for road racing, unless you run a dry sump system.  This was a very expensive lesson for me to learn. You don’t really need the KK droop.  You can drop the...

    351C Issues

    Any updates?  The original problem as described sounds like crossed wires.  Could be as simple as that.  Could be the wrong firing order, but it won’t even try to fire or pop with the early firing order.

    Looks like your new bar is a 1970 bar.

    Bad Gas

    Drain out and run in your other car.  Try to run Ethanol free fuel.  The alcohol is very bad on carbs. Berryman’s chemtool fuel system cleaner is my personal  favorite.  My old Kawasaki’s carbs get gunned up easily and often.  I put The whole can of Berrymans in and it will usually clear them up...

    engine oil used

    All of the off the shelf oil is so much better than any oil you could buy when these cars were new.  Most of the cars are rarely driven and even more rarely driven hard.  I don't think it matters much.  With that said:  My new cars get synthetic oil.  Once a year.  My 25 year old GMC van with a...

    72Rcode.org email

    I bought the domain 72Rcode.org.  If any R code owners want to have a "[email protected]" email address, send me a PM.  I'll set you up with an email address. I haven't done anything with the website.  I'm trying to post my old magazine article on it, but haven't figured out how to hang a...

    351C 4V Oil cooler Y/N comments

    Millions of Cleveland’s built and ran fine without. Add extra quart to stock pan, bigger pan, and or bigger oil filter. Or even a dual filter. I run an oil cooler on my racecar.
