Latest 72 x2

[DaveC]

Riding Darren's coat-tails with this post.😀

Brought home this 44K mile 72 2 weeks ago.

Custom package

350 4 bbl, 12 bolt posi

A/C, Power windows, Tach dash, bench seat, AM/FM stereo

Early built - 5th week November 71, so no seat belt warning light in dash, and has the larger seatbelts.

Drives like new, rides smoother than my restored cars...something to be said for rubber vs. urethane bushings I guess.

OK Dave....... all the congrats aside on this beautiful Monte we still want more PICTURES.  Come on, you know the drill, let us see under the hood, trunk and interior.  Inquiring eyes want to see more of this beauty.

I had to replace the master cylinder. With plans to restore/rebuild the original.

Thanks for the pictures Dave, she is a true treasure.

I hope someday my 71 402 "barn find"  will be as beautiful as yours!  Almost the same options as yours. Just not as nice. Absolutely beautiful! 

[DaveC]

I pulled the back seat out today, no build sheet top or bottom....

Checked under the front seat the day I brought it home, nothing there either.

Above gas tank?

I've never found one there on a Baltimore car, but did not check this one.

How about under the carpet

If I'm to go that far, I'd want to pull the front seat to really check thoroughly underneath, and to not cause damage to the carpet by not doing so.

And, I really don't feel like pulling it apart!!

It'd really be nice to find, I'd like to know from where it was originally sold. But, I've resolved to be satisfied without it. as, I have no doubts as to what's there.

[Rob Peters]

Dave, I was able to at least reach under the front carpet enough to find one on mine.  Mine is a bench seat.

Thanks Rob, that's encouraging news! I'll have to give it a try in that case.

Did you find it on the passenger or driver side?

I've never found one under the carpet before. Of the 6 first gens I have, this is the only one not to "cough up" a build sheet!!

I did see paper between one of the clasps (not a hog ring) under the back seat. Perhaps someone beat me to it... The previous owner passed  almost a year ago, so likely I'll never know.

It was under the drivers side.

Code 57 Golden Brown, I don't think its too far off of 1970 code 58 Autumn Gold.

I have an odometer statement from the state of Delaware when the last owner purchased it in December of 2000 stating 39,000 then.

The last owner certainly didn't put many more miles on it in his 19 years.
