Got my 71 RR home today
I look forward to using this as my driver while I'm restoring my 72. I love it. Took it for a ride around the block today, then prepared a spot for it under the deck. It runs well. I am going to freshen up the brakes and the front end. I think that the clutch is a little weak. It is very presentable, but needs a freshening resto. I can do that as I'm driving it. When my 72 is done, heck it may get the full out resto then.

Ooh, pretty! Does it have drums or discs in the front?
Regardless, it's awesome either way...Nice!
[Gasp], and do I spy a vinyl top? Wooowee!

pretty basic on the mechanical end...no a/c, no p/s, no p/b, brakes are drum...Thunderstruck440 wrote:Ooh, pretty! Does it have drums or discs in the front?

I really like the lack of it all too...my 72 has most everyhting opposite, even cosmeticly, so this is a great complimentary car.
I can't wait to start a mild freshening to make it my driver. I sold my vintage van yesterday

Thanks everyone for the kind words...

Re: Got my 71 RR home today
That's cool! I don't have a/c or p/s either. Which I certainly don't mind. Only thing with mine is...I do have power brakes...Which I can't really take advantage of them with the cam I have. Even with a vacuum reserve tank, I best have to put it in neutral and rev it up to stop, or it's both feet on the brake pedal. Urrrph.
