those do look darker than normal, the borders of the combs almost look polished but I'm pretty sure you can't polish polycast
The tips do look like the straighter angle cut from a '70

Default 75 Degrees and Sunny

Well, one of the benefits of living in the Land of Fruits and Nuts ( California) is that there are many beautiful sunny January days. Today was one of them and my wife and I cruised up the coast to Ventura in the T/A. Both the freeway and PCH were lightly traveled and, since there is no road salt , a quick dusting and speed shine cleaned her up nicely.

Nice car. I'm envious, 75* and sunny. The PCH is awesome. My wife and I drove about a hundred miles on your highway a couple of years ago, and half the day back in 1997. Wonderful drive, endless breath taking views around every curve. It took us hillbillys a little bit to adjust for the high cliffs and for the ocean being on the right as we drove south. Either something pushed the land up high, or the land broke off and sank. Just the same an awesome place to see.

Welllllllllll, uh maybe.
My wife and I are going to visit another State soon with the idea of maybe selling here and moving there. If we decide to move, I will want to sell this car rather than take it to somewhere close to the Great White North. The roads are supposed to be terrible there and it only takes one big pothole; no more front spoiler!

Here's a few pics of my 71 cloned into a 73. It looks like Mad Max compared to some of the cars posted in here.
