Purchase advise

Having restored my '68 at great cost, I can see the value in purchasing a nearly complete car with all the equipment you may want already there. 340, 4SP, etc.

The good thing about a '73+ is that it already has good disk brakes which can be easily upgraded to 11.81" cop car rotors with just a bracket swap. These are great brakes for an A-Body. Also, the '73+ has a better sway bar with shorter arms and is easily updated with aftermarket bars and torsion bars which make this a great handling vehicle. There is also the better captured motor mounts and a few other changes that make the '73 a great driver. I wish there was a rally dash option for the '73, and the baby buggy bumpers need to go if at all possible. But otherwise, this would be a great car to take on long drives and enjoy.
