'73 #s RS/Z28

Love the "Medium Orange Metallic" color. Powertrain stamps look good....

Underbody looks pretty clean, consistent with a car from the Southwest. Bummer to see the dash and door panels cut for a modern-ish stereo, but not the end of the world to fix.

Nice car with a few things added. The door panels and gauge bezel are from a TypeLT and the RS looks to be a add on and most likely not born with.

That wasn’t a factory color, right? I like the stance!

That color code is definitely original and matches the TT, but I'm not sure how close the current paint is....

Nice looking car...just added it to my watch list. I've been looking for a nice second gen and may take a run at this one.

Cool car, it's a factory grind out, but looks real.

Tim, what do you mean by "factory grind out?" I'm always trying to learn...

You can see where the factory took a grinder and ground some numbers off. These marks go left to right on the pad and were done to correct a factory error. Not uncommon at all.

That car was also born with no stripes! The pad numbers look bad for the VO116CLJ
