    so my 75 is great but today Jessie drug a 73 to the yard. its blue, 4 lug, small bumper, nicer grill, drum brake, great interrior, minor dents, less rust, rear bumper is sum odd hand made alumn trailer hitch, and theres a sheetmetal gas pedal... anyway. do i take the grill and the hood crome and call it a good day. or do i buy the whole car and swap the disks and rearend. keep in mind if i get the blue one i gotta sell the green one, with the 4 lug setup so i gotta finish 2 cars.


    oh what to do....?


    the 73 is gona be a salvage title, my 75 is a clean one....but that only maters to somone else who might buy it if i ever sell it...

    I'd fix the one with the best body. I would use both to mak one real nice car then sell off the remains of the parts car

    i will perfectly agree with jhodges. if youy dont have a place to put the other car call the junk yard and tell them they can have the car "BUT" only let you touch it and after you are done stripping it .they can have the rest. i have two parts cars like that and nobody can touch them untell i finish stripping the bodys

    Sounds like that '73 is really a '72. The first number in the VIN will tell you for sure.
