Wanted to join the forum to learn and share advice on repairs and places to locate hard to find parts. I own a number matching 73 GTS with a 351 Cleveland Q code motor with a factory 4 speed manual transmission

Welcome! I have upgraded you to a new member so you have full forum privileges. Let's see that '73. It sounds super cool being a Q-code with a 4-speed. Is it a fastback or formal? Any other cool options like the Rallye Equipment group?

Very nice, I like that a lot. It's well done and taken care of, the dash especially I notice. You might replace the air cleaner decal though, that one looks rough.

Wow, that is a beautiful machine! What's the story behind the car? Who did that dash pad for the car? It looks custom.

The interior of the car has been redone but due to being an Arizona car. I'm not sure who did the work because it was done before I got it.
