Hello Everyone!

I bring you greetings from the Mopar world.I decided to take a break from Mopars so I just picked up a 73 GTS Fastback a few weeks ago!
I got it from a board member here! (Mouse)

It is a 6L code..seems to be 6F color to me though.
H code car(now 4 barrel with original worked 2v heads) with the Yellow to Brown laser stripe.
Ginger bucket seats,console,AC and instrumentation group.

Axle is 2....what does that mean?

I have always been a fan of the 72-73 Sports!Ironically my dad took me to look at a 73 almost just like this one when I was a kid!...Now I got one!


My plan for it is to work the 351 a little more and restore it to its factory color combo and build it as a day 2 street machine!

I am excited to be a new member of the board!

Welcome to the site! Axle 2 would be a 2.75 rear axle.

Thanks everyone!
I hope to get pics up soon!

I was reading a topic discussion posted some time ago about late build dates..

FYI mine was built in Atlanta for the Charlotte NC
market.It has a build date of 7/73..That's pretty late isn't it?
