Looks good from a distance. Then you walk up to it, look it over, and walk away shaking your head. What a mess.

Looks like it is a 1970/1971 to me, definitely not a 1974 tsk scope

Sure looks like it is to me. The under side looks like a mess to me.

I bought those very same valve covers on ebay for $89. GOing to sand those down and paint them. This guy saved a lot of money on chrome by painting everything.

Someone put a 1970 front clip, and a 70/71 rear tail panel and lights, on this car. V.I.N. says it's a 1974 slant six.

The battery installation behind the back seat is awesome!
The seat mounting bolts through the floor with no washers on them are top shelf too. boogie

That VIN tag is being held on by phillips head screws, it's been swapped. Bet the body numbers don't match.
