Default SD 455 TA:

I know this may be in the wrong year, but what is a 1974 white, red/white, auto, a/c loaded SD TA that needs some work done to it worth? Here's the kicker....... it also came from the factory with a white vinyl top. It is a complete numbers matching car and is a dry southern car too. Any input would be appreciated.

White with white top?


That's what Critter needs to match his blue top SD TA.

Default To restore or not

Hello SD owners

I recently purchased a survivor 73 SD and was thinking about removing the motor and tranny for resto..Since I have not restored a unibody car like this was just wondering if it would be safe or possible to drop the front frame/engine and tranny in one piece?
Just starting some resto research.. also any one know of sources for NOS or good original parts. NOS steering wheel would be first on list??

Thanks for any help
Rick

If this car is truly a survivor I would think long and hard before beginning a restoration. A car is only original once. Everybody is different, but I like survivor cars over restored cars.

Default It is a true survivor

The decision is not easy, but motor freshing will benefit this car...

Congrats on your purchase. Was this the one on ebay? If so, very nice original car! If the engine and compartment do not look way scaly, leave it alone and just detail the S*#t out of it. How bout pics?
