Absolutely gorgeous! Any engine or interior pics? Any other details, like options? Looks like standard interior.

I've got a near twin to it (albeit in project form).

Tall buckets mean standard. I think them cool on a 73. Car has nice trim options for outside. That red is more a gentlemen's red vs an arrest me or hot rod red and we like it a lot. Almost has a hint of pinkish hue (?)

I did not get any int or engine pics. It has a rear console and the owner had a board with all of the original paperwork framed. I believe the car was from Crown Point, Indiana
