Man, that's cool. All you need is a set of period correct wheels and it'd be 1972 all over again (well, almost).

Tell me, how'd you manage to keep the paint intact these past 43 years? Lacquer paint jobs are notorious for cracking over time.

It actually sat outside on a trailer for many yrs under a car cover.The guy I bought it from had it in his garage mostly for ten yrs and barely drove it because it ran so poorly.I went thru the whole car top to bottom and restored the interior back to the show car days and buffed the original paint and haven't touched the graphics at all.They have some cracking and chips but not too bad.I put the newer wheels on it with drag radials because I occasionally still race it.It needs some Keystone wheels I believe for everyday driving and shows.This car was painted top to bottom in the day and had tons of chrome all over it which it still has.Its definitely 1 of a kind and it will never be sold as long as I am alive.

Hopefully someday I can make the rounds with it.The car is in Portland Oregon so that's a bit of a driveIt's a timepiece that needs to be seen to be appreciated for all the work that was put into it.
