Nashville is only about 1.5-2 hours from me.......

I just sold my older Jeep, too. But that money is slated for bodywork for the '72. Dang! What a nice car.

Doubt the T-50 would last long if abused behind the V8. But with normal driving it should be fine.

I'd love to test drive it, but then I'd have to buy it, wouldn't I? There's been a lot of tempting items come along lately for me...........
Concentrate on one project, Dwight...... one project!

One thing I was noticing which dosent appear to be stock, are the 4 chrome hole trims on each wheel.

I think those were a starfire,sunbird,skyhawk item.

And also it has the rare dash decal.

On an A/C car again.

So far thats only been seen on 77 a/c cars.

My 78 didnt have one, but it had the clock there, so It couldnt have had one.

my 79 didnt come with its original dash panel which probably went bad in the utah sun where it was from.

Check this:

It also has a 4bbl on it now.

Might be missing the dual tailpipe set-up...only appears to have drivers side exit....

And as a sad reminder of plant quality, the hood spyder appears to be sliding off slightly too the passenger side.

Not by much, but I notice you dont get a glimpse of the center line, so as too not show the offset.

Marco,
You crack me up. Your Hbody knowledge is remarkable. When I post about something I 'think' I know about, I always think of what you can come up with to contradict, accent or overshadow......... amazing.
I must concentrate on getting the '72 prettied up(motivational tool to finish the engine). Then the '62 Bug clutch woes. Sell the '94 Softail. Refinance the new Jeep with the proceeds from said sale so I can get my head out of the water........

As for the Skynyrd lyrics...... that's one of my favorites of theirs. Great to drive to when you're feeling a bit 'frisky'.
(Which could start a whole new tread: What songs do you like to drive to? OR Which songs make you drive aggressively? etc....)

I thought it was 'love' that Ronnie knew a little about? I'll have to listen to it again....

Go ahead, Dwight....I have some specific favorites for different occasions. :idea:

DjTy,
Did you email him to see if he'll separate it from the auction?
