Still in the wrapper.

I'm not a 71 expert... but this car looks almost 100% correct from what is visible in the pictures. My hats off to the person/people who restored this one.

Lower lip on endura bumper not black... not sure when they quit doing this... 70 only?

'71 is the same way.

Things that stand out to me. Master cylinder should be black, hood hinges missing blue bolt torque inspection paint dabs, Pep Boys radiator cap, shaker looks like they matched the blue in the stripe instead of painting it Lucerne blue, bolts attaching inner fender at top are way too short, tower clamp on lower heater core hose is facing down, there are so many body shims on the passenger side fender top bolt that the firewall bolt hole had to be redrilled(bent subframe??), rear exhaust tips are at a funky angle. If the underside was black then this could be a Van Nuys car and should have the rubber A-arm water shields attached to the inner fender on the engine side.

Battery is current style, not repro. I have the same thing on my car though....

I like the hood hinges and springs, how do you think they refinshed them? Did you notice where the car was built? I'm just starting to restore a 71 just like this one, low options 4 speed car in blue. Its nice to see pictures like this to see what you get if you do it right.

Sitting kind of high on the springs. Wrong battery, rad cap. Missing blackout section on lower portion of nose, where the four mounting bolts are visible in the valance opening. Nice car otherwise.

Good call on the P/S cowl bolt hole,there is something out of whack there!

It appears that both a-arm splash shields ARE in place.

No hood bumpers in either fender.

Rear parcel shelf appears to be the mesh style which is incorrect for a standard trim car.(unless it came with optional rear speaker)

Door armrests are of the custom trim (soft) variety.

Aftermarket headlights (s/b Powerbeams)

While we are on bolts,should the cowl to wiper transmission bolts be BRIGHT plated?

Also,bolts from inner fender to battery tray are too long and could possibly wear/punch a hole in the battery case. (that makes a REAL mess) I know,it happened to ME!

I hope the NEW owner of this car is a "good sport" if he's reading this.
