This car needs a pro paint job. It was flat white and the rust was covered with a load of bondo. Could use a new carburetor, but it still runs great.
In high school I sanded it all down and replaced most of the rust on the body and around the wheel wells.
I painted it metallic gun metal grey. The paint doesn't look too bad, but I am getting it done professionally pretty soon.
I paid 2500 for the car and it came with some slick deep dish craigers in perfect condition.
I want to do this car up right, make it a collector. The engine is huge and has serious potential. The body shape for the 73' sport fastback is pretty sick.
Give me some feedback, let me know what you think of the car. Give me some ideas for the engine. What do you think is the proper colour to paint this car?
Go with the metallic "blue glow" paint which was an option back in '73, with the laser side stripe if you can find those being reproduced somewhere.
Whatever you do, don't go with the "Starsky & Hutch" red and white paint job--that's so played :)
Yah that blue might be a good choice if you want to stick with an original color for the car, the only other original color for that year that I know of is a pale yellow, I dunno what else there is?
