Car has been in Tucson and Marana AZ area it's whole life. I am the fourth owner I believe.  Not sure what happened to original engine but it runs very good and I like the 440 six pack in it even though it isn't numbers matching. Has a Dana rear with 3.55s.  There is not a spec of rust on this thing anywhere.  I have an original set of front seats as owner before last put a custom interior and front seats in it. Want to take it back to all white and stock. I have he original set of Magnums for the car as well that will be going back on it.

Post by: PhxCuda24 on March 11, 2018, 03:03:30 PM
Yes that's the car.  I will be putting the 71 grille back in it. The car was an original console car as well so I will be getting one for it.

Sorry for the confusion, I was meaning all white interior. Car is a factory plum crazy, white billboard, white vinyl roof car.

Nailed it buying this set up.  Enjoy that 440 and you can always change that down the road.  White interior is going to look slick.  What great color combos and contrasts....Nicely done. :clapping:

 :welcome: from San Diego!  Nice score.  First thing would be to get the correct 71 grille and lower valance on that car and move on from there.  Curious if it just was headlight buckets that were swapped over when they put on the tasteful "mods".
