This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Beautiful color combination and one not seen much. I think a guy in Maine has one. I have the numbers made some where for Hunter green and green tops. I'll see if I can locate it.

    Please note that the original production figure list posted for the '72 Stage 1 color breakdown has a small calculation error and shows a total of only 24 Hunter Green cars instead of the correct number of 40. I simply modified my copy of the document to show 40 but all the versions posted online show the error.

    Update on this car. As advertised the car has solid floor, trunk etc ( no rot) and pretty much everything is there and original except the interior. Underside is crusty but very solid motor runs but has low compression in two cylinders but it wil be rebuilt
    pulled the tank and unforntunatly no build sheet was found. We are mocking up the replacement quarter now. Car need lots of $$ and time but a great candidate for restoration

    Engine is out, clearly not enough oil changes plenty of life in the bearings and overall looks good. ID numbers are hard to read on the front of the block, not sure how common that is
