Hi,

I'm Ilyes, 22 years old, french and algerian, and i moved to NY 5 months ago  :D  . I bought my car last week, and i can't wait to put my hand on it  :twisted:  .
The car is in a pretty good shape as far as i've seen, got some rust in the trunk, in the engine bay, but it's just a minor rust, some grinding will make this go away.
The car has been built in Canada, it's a 302 engine with a c4 tranny, there was a vinyl top but it's gone, and i think i will paint all the car, so bye bye the vinyl. the interior is in a god shape, just need to fix the front sit and the dashboard. When i saw the car, i don't even take a ride, the guy just started it, the carburator needs some tuning cause the engine have some issu to run without your feet on the gas, but the shape of the car convince me  8)  and for the price, i think it's ok. I've been looking everywhere since November, so i was also sick to wait again.

No, no more talking, pictures time  :P

cool.    My '73 was built in Oakville canada too about a month before yours. You probably got one the last 73's made, its built so late in the year.

I like your choice of car! By the way, do the red buttons on the steering wheel activate the lasers?

The steering wheel is by PILOT (JCW) and is a copy of the MOMO TORNADO steering wheel. I've got the MOMO is my Fiero and the red buttons are for the horn, but everyone thinks they are for a NOS fogger.!!
