    Cool car. I'd like to see a Marti report on it.

    Interesting that it seems to be an original, unmolested survivor, but then they swapped out the valve covers. Easy enough to change back, but still...

    Interesting. The sticker lists the engine as a 351CJ. I thought the 351CJs were only in the '72 MY?

    The 351CJ was available 72 - 74. Much harder to find in 74 though.

    That AM radio costed a little less than the CJ option and positraction added up together. I wonder, how much more an FM or FM with 8-track would have costed. No wonder that many new cars were delivered with blanco plates, instead. 111 1974 dollars would be plenty of money, today.
