Parts car!

Not that it matters being it's just a parts zcar but that first photo just goes to show the damage those front leather bra's can do when not removed to air dry whenever they get damp or wet :hurt: and those half dash caps :sick::sick::sick:

Someone already sure went to town on it removing parts. From what I can see, Looks like you should come out good on it.

Did the 75's come with vents in the hood? I thought they didnt do that till about 77 and 78.

I agree with the half dash cap! Im going to clean it up really good because its in perfect condition and not glued down. Then just use it as a removable cover for my dash. Or sell it and get a cloth cover.

You're right. Started in '77, I believe. Must be a later hood, if the car is really a '75.

yep, you thought right. 77-78 only had the hood vents.

Yeah makes ya wonder what year it really is. If the tag is still in drivers side door jam with the build date on it, that will tell you.

Seeing the fuel rail it has we can rule out a 1978.

The car was made in april of 75. This thing has had a few paint jobs and some bondo work for sure!

Lights aren't on, the camera flash on the reflectors did that.
