This 73 has been infamous in my neighborhood. Legend has it that it was parked in 1983 after the teenager driving it ran from the cops. I am the 4th person on my street to own it. Basically it was left for dead.
I dragged it out of my neighbors yard with a chain and started the endless job of cleaning rat poop, oak leaves, and squirrel belongings. Although it only has 59,000 miles the engine is frozen. My sons and I are working on dropping the engine. Because it has sat so long noting is coming off easily. Wish us luck! Attached image(s)
