I've sometimes wondered about the potential of making hood letters (or simple emblems) out of aluminum on my CNC router. The OEM font could be duplicated, or something else if desired. There'd be no way to duplicate the pins/studs, though, so they'd need to attach with small #2 or #4 stainless...

A roof painted to match the interior, with some lace or scallops in it, would be a nice touch. (kinda like you drew) To me the flames are distracting, not flattering, to the rest of the car.

Aftermarket rotors have been made as unicast for many years. The 69-72 rotors were once $150-200 if you could find them, but are back in the market and price is lower. The 69-72 rotors are $63-118 on RA, 1973 rotors are $34-65. So there isn't the need to find 1973 parts as in years past...

Never tell the trim-shop guy 'I dunno, stitch up some seatcovers that you think willl look good'. Joking aside, it's a nicely-done street machine, and the price isn't bad for a restored car that seems to need nothing.

I think a good cleanout and wash-job would help it a lot. You know - like the seller should've done. The passenger doorpanel looks quite decent. The rest of the car might be better than the pics would suggest.

6.0 6.0 LS?

Gents: If each of you could take a few minutes and post your pics onto the 4-speed thread - it would be appreciated. I've posted 20+ cars into it, so I'm excusing myself from doing it. Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread

Does the linkage popoff coincide with the trans shifting, or motion of the KD linkage? Does this trans have PTK (part-throttle kickdown)? Is the trans (or valve body) a 71-newer? (do you need FT to get a 3-2 downshift?) Can it pop off when doing upshifts, or when downshifts, or both? Either by...

You better get synced with all the Illinois folks too, so they can see your car in person! @ayilar @71Polara383 @sixpkrt

If you find what you need within central Indiana, perhaps I can buy/pickup for you and figure something out from there?

Not to agree with the critic on your YT, but you need to consider that, in the world of DC automotive wiring, that just because you haven't had a problem yet does not mean everything is done properly. It might just be a problem laying in wait. This statement by a critic is just plain wrong...

Good! Keep enjoying it! Is it listed in the 'GA4' cars thread?

Well, I don't know you, but I wish you the best of luck. I have a co-worker moving there in January, and he's planning on selling almost everythign he owns. Not a trivial endeavor! I see your car is now listed FS, be aware that moderators allow very little discussion in the FS of a member's...

For a comparison, here's a 71 that sold recently, price was nearly the same but condition was notably nicer. NOT MINE - 1971 Imperial 2-door. I'm reading what seem to be some contradictions for 'your' blue '69. Decent driver, 10-footer (lots of flaws can be seen at 10 feet) but also a clean...

Have you posted a wanted ad on FCBO?

@oliver - Out of curiosity, where are you moving to?

That's the explanation that I was prodding for. Most folks don't read critically anymore, so they won't correlate storage-shed to seat damage. The way you wrote it the 2nd time will resonate better. It doesn't undo the seat damage, but makes the mileage on the car believable. I think your...

Well, TBH, that info came from a Galen Govier whitebook.

I don't have a versed opinion on the car's value. Your timeline of years the car was sitting unused supports the mileage, but 52k does not match that seat. If the seat got damaged during the years it was used as a storage unit, you should mention that. Otherwise, looking at that seat, I would...

It might be an administrative/bookkeeping reason to keep the listing live but at an unsellable price.
