Looks like it would have when it rolled of the line in 1973.

It does look nice to bad they failed to paint the hood supports to the factory color.

There is already a sale pending on it.  It is the Automotive Restoration site.

It was an amazingly-intact example with, however, rust at every seam.

100% gorgeous. Wow, $83K is a lot of money!

 

I'd have bead blasted the intake manifold and valve cover to really clean it up and make the engine bay pop. I'd also replace the front strut cover (the black plastic bowl, can't remember what its called). These are small items for the next owner.

 

Well done none-the-less. Nice to see one come back to the land of the living.

 

Les, you are a wealth of information!

The proper black strut bearing covers used on roundies have been NLA for many years.  Also, the replacement strut bearings have rubber lips that won't accommodate the caps; when you try to install 'em, the caps split (ask me how I know).

The BAT link works fine, it's just the Hemmings that's not working for me. I'm doing something wrong, apparently.
