I think his first clue was that there are absolutlely no bids!! Lowered by 6K?? Should have added a "zero" next to the 6.

I've been looking at that one--note that it has the perforated headliner and an 07c build--I thought that was one-piece territory timewise. if that's correct then I'd feel a lot better putting that style in mine (07A)--i like it better anyway.

The eBay '73 SD-455 does have a one-piece headliner. The material is perforated with a foam backing and glued to a formed masonite board. I believe the changeover from the bow-type headliner to the one-piece was around January of '73.

Pics of the cowl tag show it fastened with screws,mine were riveted,but mine is an early Jan car,did they change this during the year?

That's a lot o money for a car with some issues...IMHO...

I don't have a super close change over date on this, but 04C was rivets, & 05C was hex headed philips screws.

The third week of April and the third week of May. The first two digits is the month and the letter is the week.

Ahhhhhhh, the second week of January is the best week of the year!

Here is a 74 car I have not seen before and thought there might be some interest here to viewing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...fCarsQ5fTrucks

Its back, and you know when a body shop doesn't restore a car you better be cautious.

Yep, the '74 looks pretty nice.

But 75K+ for a '74 auto?

Default SD cam sheet

I found this in my paper work from when I built my sd( i miss that car). this was a scan I did on a factory cam so we could machine some extra ones for customers when I was a manufacturing engineer at comp. I have no use for it so maybe someone else does!
