    I would love to find the Buick road wheels for it. I have always liked that style. I'm pretty much keeping this original as I can. I would like to put a 4bbl on it BUT the thing is, the punny 2bbl is working so well and properly tuned, I hate to mess with it.

    Mike, anytime you show the junkyard pictures, little by little it pushes me to move to Texas. Most of my dads side of the family is still there.

    I love how the A bodies from that era look and how they drive/ride. That Buick 350 seems to have such an endless supply of power at the touch of my foot! :yahoo:

    WooooooooooooooooooooooW! $500! But you hit it right on target FT. With a set of white walls, they sure would look period correct to the '73.

    The LTD emblem is for the front fender on non Squire wagons or for the C pillar from '75 to '78. I needed one for my '76 four door brougham in '98...could never find one then. Now for the last 10 years, I can not get away from them.........wonder if it's a sign? HA HA HA

    The lens, it looks like the reflective part that goes behind the red lens. Not sure yet since I have yet to dig in there.
