Nose swapping must be trending...lol
People have done this for a long time. The 70-73 nose bolts right onto any 74-81 Trans AM. I'm going to sell the 75 T/A as is and use the 72 nose I have on the 80 T/A turbo I'm going to keep. The 80 is a silver WS6 car with T-tops and a red interior (my favorite). I also have the hood, which is any T/A hood from 70-76. The plan is to bolt the 72 nose on and paint it Lucy blue with 71 stripes, or paint it 1980 maroon with a chicken on the hood. I go back and forth on this, but the car in Lucerne blue would probably be worth more. I realize the T-Tops look odd to those that know it's wrong for the car, but driving it around no one is gonna know, plus the white stripe on the roof should break it up some. I have an extra 400 engine and a M21 4-speed, so it'll be cool when it's done. For those that think a blue car with a red interior would look odd, I'll disagree. The red interior, especially to those that have never owned a red interior car, is very period specific with the cloth seats. Buying a new car you'll pick from tan, black or gray. The red interior and the green interior cars are very unique looking and I love the blue/red combo. I've brought this 70 Judge up before, but the red interior looks awesome IMO.
