That is an awesome looking car. Love the stance and those ralleys look mean.

Car was 66 miles from me. The guy had it for 3 years sitting in his garage. He was going to fix it up, but he fell on hard times. It has a 351 W in it with a C6. He found a 351 C 2V that he included in the deal, plus a bunch of other great parts. I don't think it's lowered, but maybe it looks that way because he put new 14" tires on it. I wasn't really looking to get another car, but this was to good to be true!!

Thanks, we just built it 2 years ago and it's already full. Since the interior of this car is green I'm thinking about doing it like the car in the movie Gran Torino. It needs quite a bit of work, and it's gonna take me a while, but that's what I hope to do.

HEY! Love the new ride you picked up it looks like a great project. Hope you keep the color stock as to me there are just to many painted with other manufactures colors. Just like them in their original glory. I want to ask about your 2Dr HT. My DAD was a dealer back during that time and my brother had one like this and later we sold it to my future wife. It was a special order paint "Candy Apple Red". It was a truck color only a $76.00 option. It had a 351c 2v, white buckets, console and auto and magnum 500's. No gague package but delux interior pkg. We added factory dual exhaust with factory tips and "Hush Thrush" mufflers. The car was originally ordered with the performance pkg. and should have been 351cj, 4-spd and gague pkg. but the factory messed up on the order and it did not come that way. I was just wondering if this is that car? My wife and i went on our honeymoon in it. I am new here but am on the fb page and have posted a lot of pics of our 72 351CJ 4-spd. Hope you dont mind sharing your history of this car. We always wanted to know what happen to her.
 
Thanks
