What color was that? GA4 Light Gunmetal Metallic? Hard to tell in the pics. Are you leaving it original color, or something different? It's pretty much a '71 version of my '72. I love it!

Plans were to leave /6 in it but have a good 318 available that we can put in it so decided to go with it instead. Got the /6 pulled and parts ordered for the swap!!!

Schumaker mounts and Hedman headers made the swap very easy!!
Dad got his seats and carpet installed today also!!
