Nice Convertible

The owner that had the car told me he had an accident about 1982 in front and they replaced the front markers at that time with 72 model parts.

That might also explain the absence of '454' emblems underneath the 'SS' emblems on the front fenders.

Nice find

Exactly right confirmed by the owner who had it repaired in early 80’’s. Car was parked in 85 and not touched until few months ago.
