According to their website this '73 is going to be on Bring a Trailer very soon.

It will be interesting what this bids to. I don't think it will sell in this current down market environment.

Price is $139,900. I know it is Brewster Green and a 4 speed, but this is super duty money. Not worth it to me with a D port 455.

If it was a resto mod with a six speed, high horse power engine...

Experience & Opinions on Brawler Carbs

Wondering what people have experienced with the Brawler Carb. I have one on a 496 engine. It is a 850 CFM with mechanical secondary. Works very well for me.

DonnyD,

I don't think the motor and VIN are the same. Dash has a last digit of 8. Motor reads 7. Off one digit. I know this doesn't happen much, but to a 4,000 mile car?
