Hello/Colorado Springs Cuda!!!

[CudaMoparRay]

Welcome from Sylmar, CA

[Adams1stCuda]

Welcome!  From Salida Colorado.

Spent my teen years in Widefield.  What part are you in?

Sweet looking ride.

Even better it's originally a gb5/gb5

Funny, I am born/raised in Colorado Springs, but moved around a lot until about 4th grade. After that I live three different places in Widefield, off Bradley on Spur Dr then in the keyhole streets (Leta) and then finally on Morningside behid the Knights of Columbus.  Three different district 3 elementary schools and then Widefield for high school.  My wife is from Widefield (further south near Mesa Ridge) and all of her immediate family graduated from Fountain.

Yep, actually wish the prev owner would have repainted it orig color.  Paint job is not stellar either, but that will have to be reevaluated down the road.

[Adams1stCuda]

I graduated in 99; as did my wife...she was the first graduating class of Mesa Ridge after they split district 3.

[cuda hunter]

Cool.  She went to school with my sister.  I think she's 2000.    Mesa Ridge. 

Small world.  My dad runs the baptist church right next to Widefield.

Great looking ride and family.  I too love the round tail lights.  I actually prefer them.  American Ferrari

I am no expert, but you seem to have a 73/74 front and rear bumper set up.  I cant make out what kind of bumper guards you got going on the rear, but they dont seem to be stock for any year.  @Burdar want to chime in?

I say screw some full on restoration and work out the bugs and enjoy it.  My 73 had so many wiring issues, car ran fine, but I have three small kids so I just bought all new wiring as it looks great and I have piece of mind now.

Good luck and another thanks to serving our country.

Did you get the correct dash tag that belongs on your car?  The dash tag is a 72 and the body is a 73.

Looks to me like the rubber portion was removed and just the metal piece remains......with the holes filled and painted black.

Maybe he means there is a 73 rear bumper filler pieces and 73 bumper guards, but you say its a 72 so its a little confusing.  Im in no way complaining, you just mentioned an "evaluation" so that was my

The two body stamped numbers do not match the VIN plate number.

[Adams1stCuda]

Ya, I was told (and saw) that the front end didn't match the build sheet/dash vin, but didn't catch the bumper. 

[Burdar]

As long as the body numbers match the title, you should be ok.  If the dash from another car was used to replace a bad one in your car, that would explain the wrong VIN plate.  It's happened before.  If your title matches the VIN plate on the dash...you've got some problems.
