I was really close to buying a 73 when I was a dumb teen, and I still kick myself for turning it down.

That one at the junkyard is a 71 most likely, as only the 71's had those louvers in the fenders. Is that a random pic, or is that car in a yard somewhere?

I've been interested in doing a 70-73 for a while now. I like the 74's also, but not as big a fan of the front end...however it being the last year with the small back window is a plus for sure. You are doing it right with the front end swap.

I think the second gen F-body cars are one of the best candidates for pro-touring...not just looks, but functionality too. Those cars are pretty damned good drivers already, and the suspension mods available for them now-a-days can make them pretty impressive if you like going through some turns.

I really like the big PMD and snowflake wheels on them....

keeping factory motor. I wanna build a bandit car ls motor and big wheels But THATS A LOT OF $$$

Those big Pontiac engines have a unique sound of their own.

They do the guy I bought the car has a leman 67 convertible beautiful 455 in it rumbles nice.

Found out this car was originally buccaneer red going back to original color. doing the 17" honey comb wheels

he also has a 81 nascar trans and 40k miles but been sitting in a field for years and a bandit roller 77-78 that's pretty cheap but needs driveline paint and lots of interior work

Put that front bumper on ebay or craigslist. They are rare and hard to find. I agree the earlier front end looks 100 percent better. I had a Formula 400 and got lucky and found a guy that did just what you are doing so I got lucky on the bumper.

going to hang the 74 nose on the wall might need it one day.

Nice paint, 5 days, and sell for 8k. None of that add up. Nice paint in 5 days on a car that old in nearly impossible unless you have 20 people working 24 hrs a day(Overhauling).

But how much did you have to put into it, to get it into a condition that would bring that price?

[SMKR]

I like it!

isn't that what Poncherello had?

[turbocoupe]

nah His was a gold 72 I believe.....I could be wrong though. Been a whole minute since I watched some CHiPs
