Default Return on Investment

Heck, for $1500, even if the frame is rusted through you can more than quadruple your money by ebaying the parts off. Good find.

If you want some good info on the '73 check out the '73 Spot (just click the red 73 below).
Yes, I have the rear window. It looks like an original...it's glass. Looks like someone used a razor blade and took it out. Do they just glue (bond) them in place?

The exhaust is gone. The car has headers and it looks like the duals end somewhere right after the header flanges.

Leaked in....yeah you could say that. Two of the windows were not in place. I've got more pics coming right up.

Default Like rings on a tree...

How many times has this been painted? It looks like three to me.
