    I've seen this car listed before. Not sure where ,maybe e-bay.
    Not impressed with the lack of sheet metal pics and angles.

    Car is at a local dealer near me. I looked at it pretty quickly one day. Not a bad car, but not great. Tony

    Was sold from the Philly area. I was offered it for way less than that. True Stage 1 Bench seat column shift. Rare to see a column shift Stage 1 in 73.

    The car is Colonial yellow that you are referring to..


    Ed,
    Any little bit helps. I plan to add at least 1 page to cars under restoration,so fire away with the camera... If you'd like to share info so I can add it to my registry,pm me an adress and I'll send some papers to you to help me. Its not hard to do. I keep a private file on each car and will share items like colors,options etc,but no personal info will be given unless you agree. I will send you some copie of the accessory price sheets as well as a copy of the wholesale order sheet to keep.

    Ed, I am looking for the Trim around the side windows, new dash pad, original GM vinyl for redoing the bench seat, original points Dist (has HEI now) and the hood ornament. Everything else is there and intact. Hopefully i will not have to rechrome the bumper and try to take off the rubber strip as i was told its impossible to find another one and they are super fragile when taking off. I think that is all i am looking for at this point. Good luck in your resto.

    Brandon, Look at these sites. You might find some patrs there. www.gmobsolete.com , www.oldbuickparts.com www.abodysite.com the last one is mainly for olds and pontiacs but the quarter glass trim is stainless and will work with a little massaging. ( 73-77 cutlass and lemans will work i think). I am going to meet a guy the first of november here in town that is bringing 2 73' dash pads for me to look at. Supposed to be excellent shape for 200.00 each if you still need one then let me know. Thanks,Ed

    I would avoid "GM Obsolete" These guys are crooks. I ordered parts for my 73. They sent the wrong parts. I returned the parts (I paid shipping both ways). After 4 weeks they refunded me only 75% of the money and stated that I had to pay a 25% restocking fee. I reminded them that the return of the parts was because of their error. They said "that's our policy". And, they didn't have the correct parts either. Cost me $65. and weeks of phone calls and grief.

    My 1/4 glass is the chromed plastic as i dont have a vinyl top on mine. Only the one corner piece is stainless. And the plastic is faded, cracked and warped....Do you know what color the dash pads are?

    I would be VERY interested in the Saddle dash Staged73....i have the saddle interior with the rare bench interior. Where are you located at?

    Ray, it had a hood ornament on it. I have seen some stage 1's with them. The ornament itself is not there, just the base of it. What are you looking to sell off of the 75 Century?
