Those old school cragers are pricey, I won't say what a friend of mine paid for a pair for his tri 5 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the trifecter!!!! No I don’t think it will ever look that nice. You can’t beat a very low mileage original car. But for 51 years old, with a family raised in it and 116000 miles I’m ok with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I don’t drive them. They each get one tank per year. Registration and insurance for 7 cars is bad enough. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of me finding what I wanted in the condition of his was not something I would have been able to find or afford, so I got as close as possible. It I’m perfectly fine with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It will be interesting to see how Dennis finishes the POS 70SS by NEXT June, finishes up the trailering package items on his (New To Him) 72 W Custom, finds a two car trailer, loads the 70 and 71 onto the 2 car trailer and pulls them with the 72W Custom to Carlisle for next years Eastern Meet. We all know you can do it Dennis. rob 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It the double trailer thought is interesting but I’d have to buy a truck that car pull it, my 1/2 ton doesn’t have it in it anymore.

420ponies Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 So, the "W" code is for the big block? What size ,402 or 454? Very cool buy. I'm liking the cassette player it came with. Does it have a tilt wheel ? Got be pretty rare paint on it too. Clean it up, put the Cragers on it and cruise it around for a while. How nice are the hub caps? Look good from the pictures. Hard to find a good set. I have like 12 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically he added a separate wiring harness and speakers in the back so he didn’t cut the harness. AM8 track on one set and FM and cassette on the other set. I didn’t look at all the hub caps but I know one is dinged up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 I was telling a customer about the 72 and he asks what color. I said like that flyswatter. He gave it to me. Note the “W” code. Lol. I guess the stars are aligning before Carlisle. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only could get tilt with the 4 spoke wheel and I don’t know if you could break up the custom package because of the custom wheel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Dennis mine doesn't have the 4 spoke wheel or the tilt wheel. What are you going to call her fly swatter green????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
