Default Finally Got one!!!! 73 L48 Coupe

After 2 years of looking and frustrating disapointments, i finally found a car. Its red with black interior. Its got power steering, power breaks, Air conditioning (converted to 134A), All original drivetrain, L48, TH400 trans, 2.5 inch exaust, and a BIG **** radiator that cools very well. Its a great car for the price I think. Ill be picking the car up sunday and once I bring it to its new home I will post pictures! :party:

Yeah; great choice of year. Do you know when it was converted to R134-A if the VIR eliminator kit was installed, or does it work o.k. with the factory VIR in the a/c system still in place?

THanks for the congradulations fellas, 73ragtop, I dont know about the VIR eliminator. The guy i bought it from said the AC worked in 2003 but the AC hose split and so now it doesnt work. So im thinkin Ill get the hose repaired and then put some freion or whatever in it and it should work.
