September 3, 200915 yr comment_293667 Looks like it has rust on the door and quarters. I'd arrange to look at it first. Probably needs body repairs and a re-paint. Figure another $5,000 to $8,000 for professional repair.Interior looks pretty nice. Could pull the engine prior to paint and clean it up while the rest of the car is at the body shop.

September 3, 200915 yr comment_293677 I am suspect of the body work in this car. Just doesn't look right. It does still appear to have all the dimples in the rear wheel arches. That's a plus. I would definitely go see it in person though if it were me.

September 3, 200915 yr comment_293681 Is this year xempt from the Calif Smog? I know the 72's are.1975 and earlier do no have to be smogged in Cali.The resreve $6400. Do you guys think a 73 in this condition is worth that? In the sellers own words it "did not meet reserve first time".

September 4, 200915 yr comment_293701 I highly suggest going to look, especially if you are that close. These cars are very decieving in photos, take my word for it Rims are rusty, doors look suspect and those are obvious flaws. Overall, not a bad presentation but it needs a much closer review.

September 4, 200915 yr comment_293713 I'm selling my car for $1000 less and I think it's in as good or better condition. My paint is rough, but the under carriage is way cleaner.Good luck to the guy selling it - if he can get that, he's a better man than me I guess...
