That would be easy to say if they actually came up for sale once & a while to compare.

That's one radio I wouldn't dare put a price on. Get a few people looking at the same time & the sky is the limit. I think I saw one sell several years ago for well over $500, & thought that was a lot then, so who knows.

I used to subscribe to a bunch of monthly & quarterly magazines. Then they started piling up as my kids got older & was more involved with their lives.

I did a quick scan this morning of the article for those who would like to read it.

I made it as a pdf & if I can put it on the server at work I will try to do that later. it was too large for PY server.
Let me know if its too low of resolution to read the print. I'll try to re-do. Unless you have a large monitor, its pretty poor downsized.

Enjoy!

Been a while.

[68ragtop]

Dang, I would say. Nearly 7 years!

Sadly, I don't think my 10th has has moved since then either....

[speedrider]

I agree. I only take mine out every couple months. Not nearly enough.

I didn't even know this thread existed... great bump!
When I bought mine the owner had it set up as the JC Whitney show car.
He was unsure of the motor that was in it other than it was a 455 installed by the first owner, I'm the 3rd owner, to my surprise after researching the motor it wound up being a nearly stock/complete '72 455 HO

I bet that thing can get up and go. Looks nice.

Looks far superior over the "boy racer" look.

Good timing to bump this thread back to the top as I am about to start a "preservation" of my 10th anniversary. Thinking about starting a separate thread on it.

I had no idea this thread existed. I have a 4 speed being restored right now. Had an automatic lost in a fire. Car is about 80% finished, hope to be on the road this summer.

For those that may be interested I started a registry myself a couple of years ago. It is not public at this time. IF anyone has pointers on how to take it to the next level I am open to suggestion. I collect info from classifieds and by asking around. To date I have about 80 cars listed with the breakdown being about half manual half automatic.

There are always questions floating around that are specific to the TATA such as carpet manufacturers, stiping and decal details and interior dyes color options that hopefully when answered will provide a good resource for forum members and owners.

Also, we should have plenty of pictures!

You mean a 10th board. Lol
