Wow that car has gotten around! I first saw that car at the Farmington show here in North Carolina... It didn't have the tunnel ram then, but was for sale then too.

I like when the guy says "WE ARE GETTING UP THERE IN AGE AND I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT THIS CAR IS JUST TO MUCH FOR WHAT WE WANTED".........I like the 73/74 hood on the 71/72's....

I don't get it, he says it's "scary fast and loud and obnoxious." What could be the problem????

I dont mind it,its just without the blower i think it wouldnt look right,theres to much rise in a 73-74 bulge hood to look right on a 71-72 car

I've liked that car every time I've seen it come up for sale. If I had the coin, it would be in my garage. Would make a heck of a fun toy.

And yea, if done right, the 73/74 style hoods do fit the lines of the 71/72s pretty well.

This was actually the first '71/'72 I had seen with the '73/'74 hood, and you can see in the photos they modified the '71 header panel to work WITH the lines of the hood... That would be an issue if you wanted to fit one of these hoods to a '71/'72.

That's how he got that to line up and look correct!
