i think lack of resto parts is one reason you don't see alot of them.

i looked into seat covers / sheetmetal for mine and was told no one was repopping stuff for them.

my upholstery guy can sew up a set of covers but it won't be cheap.

i'm not sure of sales #'s for a difference of 74 - 5 cars to compare.

i know in this area you saw a lot more 76 - 7 g/p's than 3-5 cars.

let's face it rust was a big issue on these cars also, alot of them died before they were 10yrs old.

the one i gonna do is a sj, buckets /guages/ triple black, rally 2's,posi trac [gears in the 3's] premium sound and climate control.


the sj was the top of the line g/p so they may have been the minority built due to price.

this is just a guess.

it's possible someone else will chime in with a better theory or some actual facts.
