Default Blacked-Out
Ours has the Blacked-Out look. At least for now anyway, as that's how we inherited it from P.O.

Very nice!
I see Maryland Plates. Our Sport Conv. was sold new there.
Just got the PHS last week and I forgot the Dealer name, don't have the papers here at wk - I think in was sold in Rockville. I'll have to double check...

Thanks! This car is originally from New Brunswick, NJ, then spent a semester at Shenendoah College in VA before I found it in Syracuse, NY.

Let me know what dealer in Rockville your car came from...

Yeah - We got some "Cheese Factor" to work through. A good car for my son to learn some things on. He buys the parts; then we install together (when he's home )

All the cars pictured so far are '71s...nothing wrong with that as it's my favorite year, but I do appreciate a nice '70 chrome nose (and '72s are OK as well)...

I should have more '72 photos, being the '72 kinda guy that I am . . . unfortunately the majority of my '72 photos are either GTOs or T41 cars.

Funny how '71 chrome nose got recessed grilles and Endura nose got flush grilles, but '72 they reversed it.

My least favorite part about the '72 chrome nose is the valence.
