i had been looking at these cars for the last 2 yrs. and thinking i need to buy one well the day finally came, i found my 73 st for a mere $300 unfourtanatly its an auto. but i couldnt say no she sat in storage since 94 and the interior is in better shape than any other car ive owned. needs some major work on the rocker panels, new fenders and ill have to figure out how to adjust a carb to get her back on the road i cant wait.....hope i dont bother people to much with my questions and poor grammer. :mrgreen:

Nice find (especially for the price). It is in pretty good shape for being an east coast car.

There are NO stupid questions. This forum is a great resource for owners. It will save you lots of headaches and is awesome for sourcing parts. Those west coast guys have a gold mine of them out there.

Congrats!!!!

What are your plans for the car?

hey mate
Take advantage of the shitehouse AUD and get some rockers/sills from bluewire automotive cheap, should cost you about what you paid for the car lol
