Hello all,

It's got a 318, but the car has a factory sunroof, power windows, air, rear window defrost, hood pins and a whole bunch of other options.

Welcome to the 'nest.
That's a great looking runner! And a sunroof car...I'd think that one is pretty rare.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. I love my new car. I used to have a 67 Coronet but it did not feel it was as nice as my RR. I look forward to asking you all a whole lot of questions.

Well, here's one small tidbit with some info.

http://www.oldride.com/library/1973_ply ... unner.html

Seems like whoever writes these always has to get a stab in about how the muscle car era was already over by 73, so better get used to that attitude. Just remember that the average person on the street has no idea when (or if) the muscle car era ended, so let them and you enjoy your car and the purists can kiss our collective butts.
