Posted February 1, 200421 yr comment_66725 I picked up a Green 73 on Ebay 2 weeks ago. My father-in-law flew to Little Rock to pick it up and drove ot home for me. "No rust" is what the ad said and "No Rust" is what I found. Also no carpeting, just rubber mats. Has a Griffith aluminum radiator with electric fan. Alternator bearing went out in New Mexico and Don removed the alt fan and then shimmed and bolted pulley back on. Replaced broken driver's side exterior door handle yesterday and will attempt alternator and radiator back to stock if Superbowl doesn't interfer. Failed Arizona emission test, runs richer than Bill Gates. Has flat tops. But I have a Z to drive.

February 2, 200421 yr comment_66788 Great that you found a good car , always good to hear of another one on the road . Why are you dumping the radiator it should work just fine if it is in good cond. . Unless you plan on a concors restoration the Griffith is not a distraction to the value of the car. By the way phred has a stock rad for sale , if needed . He races maybe there is a trade here ? Again congrats. .:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9994-new-green-73/#findComment-66788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 2, 200421 yr Author comment_66878 The one thing that scares me about the radiator is the routing of the lower hoses. It runs across the bottom of the gravel pan at is actually the lowest part on the car. Seems susceptible to damage.
