The car: 1973 coupe, LS4 454, 4-speed, A/C, PS, PB, PW. Three owner car with 50k miles. 73 only Blue-Green color
with deluxe black leather interior. I have the build sheet but it is in rough shape.
Car was sold new in Tucson AZ, then went to San Diego CA, then to me in Austin TX. It does not know what rust or
salty roads are. To be honest, there is rust in the exhaust system.
It is a very original car but by no means perfect. Second owner changed the color to silver before putting it back
to the correct green. Front bumper is fiberglass rather than urethane. Has composite mono leaf rear spring with
adjustable strut rods. I drove car, including trip from TX to Bloomington Gold, but when it hit 50k miles I parked
it as I did not want to put more miles on it. Big mistake. Just spent, last month, over $3000 getting it drivable
and safe for the road (brakes, tires, tune, etc). Car has a paint blemish on rear deck which was there when I got
the car (shown in the pictures). Apparently too damp when deck was painted.
Car has a Jenson stereo installed but I have an original stereo from a 73, that is weak on one channel, that will
go with car. It also has an after market leather steering wheel installed and I have an original wheel that will go
with it. Heater core leaks so is currently bypassed, have replacement core. Also have several boxes or misc 73
parts collected over the years that goes with the car.
I do have the emission parts in a box, not on car. Someone had used a bolt cutter to get the air tubes off of one
side so I have a new set if air tubes for the car.
A/C was working when car was parked. Have only driven it twice since getting it back from the shop and have not
tried the A/C so must assume that it will at least need charging.
