as napoleon dynamite would say "LUCKYYYYYYY!!!"

eric, i still love your car. there was a 70 duster 340 in a shop i was delivering to today. all original red paint, black stripes faded in spots, chips, scratches, etc. LOVE IT...idk i like the broke-in survivor cars a lot more...even teh GTOs (lemans, actually) in XXX are sweet cuz they still look pretty beat up cuz all they did was spray some enamel on top of old chipped, faded, beat-up blue and other color cars.....

Eric, don't you have another one(or did)?

the shiny head does seem to be a common trait for a lot of us 71B guys!

rr6pack, yes on both accounts, I have had other 71 runners and currently have a butterscotch car in addition to the B7 one. Since 1990, I've owned at least one continuously!

My hair is about 1/8-1/4", maybe I should just shave it all...LOL Got pictures of the butterscotch car?

This is like an addiction

Pretty sure I've posted some of these pictures before, but here ya go.
The car is an all original sheetmetal car that came from Nevada (no rust!). It has had one single stage repaint that's at least 15 years old (probably older). Strobe stripes were painted on, which I've replaced, as well as putting the correct rear bumper/pan blackout stripes and a lot of other cosmetic items. It has a lot of things that are incorrect, and I'll probably tear it down and restore when I get my garage finished.

Man I love original unrestored cars. I wish mine had not of been messed with over the years. Eric, two nice examples, I wish I was closer, maybe someday I'll do a road trip. You do not see very many examples of these cars in that condition.
I've been bugging Eric like mad for information, as I'm in the process of restoring a 71RR Six pack car, and Eric has been very patient with me in answering questions. Many thanks...

Nice words, Norm. I plan on bugging Eric as well as anyone else who can help. I know that posting has been a help.

The cars look great! Nothing like CLEAN and RUST FREE! I think you said the butterscotch has 14 inch rallye's, I think they look pretty good on her.

With all the members here from OH/MI/IN/KY, we could have a hell of a show one day.

with all those 71/72's together, wow

Sad thing is when I bought mine it was unmolested and stock. Guess only myself to blame. Oh yeah except the rims the owner before me put a weird combo on it and i never fixed it.
