Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the movie trailer.
I'm currently preparing for the transmission swap. Found a 200-4R locally that has been rebuilt with a CK Performance kit. Came with extra parts: speedo drive gears, CK Performance rebuild manual, Freak Show torque converter, B&M lockup controller, tv cable and bracketry, filler tube and several receipts! I'm hoping to do the work asap and see if I can actually get a test drive in before the snow flies.... I can dream, right?

I want to say "Carolina Blue?" I seem to recall some special paint cars from the NC area wearing a shade like that. I'm sure someone here knows for sure.

My '72 LeMans GT. Someday I'll get a fresh coat of Monarch Yellow back on her, but she's still a looker to me as she is!

I thought I had found one like this a few years back. Found it in the Chattanooga paper while up there visiting the in-laws. Drove over to look at it and it was a rust bucket. Looks like you found one of the good ones!

Lot's of good reference points on this car for restoring another '72 and that played into the reason for buying it also!

Lyn, I see that the spare wheel is painted dark (Wilderness?) green on the LL. Are the other wheels also green? My eyes must be going bad, but is that a hardtop with vent windows?
Looking forward to seeing the 4-spd Lyn! Dennis |
