I’ve completely resorted a ‘72. Learned volumes! Lost 10k but drove it 24k miles as a daily. Took it around Lowe’s Motor Speedway, etc. All in all, it was great, but this car looks like it has some serious rust problems. That alone, makes me pass, at any price.

I'm betting that the original engine is long gone.

Don’t worry. It will all work out in the end. If only your end would arrive….


Yes rust at the A pillar to windshield lower frame. Shoulda got a pic…. Doors were locked and the hood was half stuck. Couldn't even check for the trim tag…

Well if it was a real LT1, I would look at it closely.

Another notorious rust area is the birdcage area around the T-tops.

See post 19 I think it was.

The letter, “K” in the 5th digit of the VIN Tag on the “A” Pilar indicates small block. If the cars was an LT-1 you'd expect to read “L”. And iirc a Big Block reads “W”. (Without checking the book). Here I struggled to get a picture….

Wasn't there a LT1 emblem on the hood from the factory?

A decal only would differentiate the BB (w/454 metal letters) vs. the LT-1

That’s a pretty ignorant statement. Some of the best cars ever found were in garages within Philadelphia. City limits

If body has no damage and frame is good, this could be made a decent driver for under $15k in repair/restoration.
