New joiner from Europe

[swisstoni]

Hi everyone,

finally a dream has become true as I recently bought a '73 convertible with the V6. Very much enjoying cruising around with it. And the car has been playing nice thus far, but for the one time I lost the alternator/cooler belt... fortunately that was a relatively quick fix and we could continue the journey.

Am looking forward to do some minor restorations, predominantly to the interior, which is showing quite a few cracks. And being totally new to the trade, hope to get some valuable inspiration and intel from here...

Howdy, swisstoni, and welcome to the site! I think you'll find plenty of advice and support from the members here. We even have a few members from Europe. Perhaps one or two near you. Don't hesitate to ask questions and join in the discussions!

Hopefully yours has an inline 6 and not a V6.

Let’s see a picture of the engine compartment. I’m curious about the 6 cylinder engine in your car

Hello and welcome from SW Ontario Canada.
Yes that ought to be a straight 6, but maybe someone got creative and dropped a V6 in there. As long as it runs well and you enjoy it, who cares. Have fun with it.
