Yes it was. Personally I can't stand the red/black combo. Brew, we saw this one when we went there a few years ago.

IIRC, at that viewing, is had a Chebby carb on it too! I remember those poorly recovered seats as well (lots of wrinkels). That must of been 5 or 6 years ago............ seems like last year....Time flies... ![]() SDD

I don't remember that issue, but I do remember after 3-5 minutes after looking over the car I was done and had no further interest. Too many issues, in my book, to look more. Done. SDD

Its only original once and one should think long and hard before turning a bolt.
Good luck on the steering wheel and plan on restoring it or buying one thats been restored. Finding a nos one is not going to happen even for a blind squirrel. Post some pictures for us to view and discuss! |

Yes it was the car on ebay and it was pretty nice, not seen this dry a car in years and suprise it had the original plates from 73 Arizona in the trunk when I got the car......It had moved from Arizona in 80 to California where it just sat undriven in a garage.

Does the engine actually need internal work? Is it smoking, making angry noises, etc.? If not, leave it as is. That particluar car is a time machine.
If you want shiny and new, I'd be happy to trade you my 72 T/A! :-) http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...433662&page=60 |

Admiralty Blue/white gut, 73 SD auto Formula on ebay, with a completely blacked out underside, including fuel lines.
Why do people do this and then call it a correct restoration? (Well, I know, it's a dealer selling it so they have no clue anyway). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...item2eaef0e931 Neat car though. Anyone know the history on this piece? I have seen it before for sale on ebay. |

one of the first things that jumps out at me is the wrong end on the air cleaner/tube.

I would love to get out to the T/A nats in dayton but not sure I can swing it this year. I am attending the Mopar Nats the week before in Columbus and not sure I can make that 500 mile trek two weeks in a row. Is that show really worth attending? Are there any other shows closer to the east coast? Would love for you guys to see the car as it came out of storage......

Brew, I'll be at the TA Nats with a trailer. Can you get the block there?

I have reservations but still not 100% due to Norwalk being a high option number two. Will figure it out here soon and let you know. Either way will get it done next month.
Cheers, Brew |

Even with the automatic - I'd love to own that car!
Even with the underside done wrong - it wouldn't matter much - would be dirty soon enough!
