Default Feel Normal Again - Pics inside.

Thanks Guys. Here's a copy of the coa. Revere Silver. Black Interior. Looks to have had 1 repaint many years ago. Always in a southern climate. Will get some more pics of the underneath.

400/400 auto. Needs just a few minor things. AC Charged. Some dash cracks. Aftermarket stereo. But all Original Engine, Tranny, and rear. Have to dig into her a little more in the coming days.

Congratulations! Awesome looking car. Your car looks like mine, Revere Silver Black Top. My car was also built at the Atlanta Plant, about 17,000 units after yours was built.

gto4door: VERY cool. Brothers from long distant mother :-)
I am trying to see if the trim molding was factory. I looks "right" on the car but might be dealer installed. It's not some auto parts store glue on stuff. Gegardless- I like it :-)

smellmygas: Not sure about being lowered. Might be the camera angle..... But the stance is nice. Nothing I dislike more than to see something resto-ed that looks like a 4X4 with different springs.

Default real nice car..........

heres another atlanta revere car I restored and sold a few years back. its an earlier build than both yours and gto4doors. LLOYD, look how the g-60 15"s were ordered here on this 400 cid car. I had a silver 73 goat (400 cid) that had the g-60 15's also....great looking tire.......I am confused that ultimate gto site appears to show no black int. option for silver cars in 71 or 72 unless I am reading it wrong?? btw mine had the pewter int as oem but I swapped to black with a little help from PB.

I think the stance is about right. Geo...take some good close up pics of the mouldings. We should be able to tell if they were factory or dealer add on. If they were dealer add on, hopefully they did not drill holes in the car to install them...maybe they were added after the repaint? Hopefully just "stuck" on.

Nice car and nice documentation.
That Protect-O-Plate was punched 37 years ago this week.
