When I had a backfire and blew the muffler on my 72 T/A it looked exactly like that. There is some design flaw that makes them prone to implosion when too much fuel lights off in the pipes. The muffler expands to fully fill the space between the rear end cover and the fuel tank. It was a SOB to get it out of my car when it blew.

Nice car BTW! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Very interesting car, would like an opinion as it relates to this 2nd gen thread. Back in 2000 I picked up a 1971 Camaro SS, had been in storage since the late eighties and purchased it for $5500, came our of PA. The guy I bought it from said he had some papers for it, and I told him to put them in the glove and I would get them when the car got delivered. What got delivered was a car in similar condition to the one in this thread, an honest 75k low option SS, four speed, no console, no tach, no air...very original car. the body was in very similar condition so I put on two fenders from goodmark and full quarters. While patches would have worked, the body guy said this would be quicker and I would get a straighter outcome....he was right. The doors, rockers and floors were very clean, a product of the rusty jones treatment at the dealer The car was painted and cleared, came out pretty nice, I have a set of Z28 wheels on it, had the driver seat recovered and put a carpet in it....probably would have been fine but the body guy was not keen on covering things so easier to put a new carpet in it. As far as paperwork, I got the original handwritten dealer order form, broadcast sheet, protectoplate and some misc other paperwork. I replaced all the chrome, trim, lights,, etc....did valve guides to fix a little blow by and have done all of the mechanicals, everything.....springs, shocks,, brakes, lines, bushing, bearings.....everything...
so after owning this for ten year or so, I may want to move it along and what caught my eye was the money on this one and what I may try to get for mine...matching numbers legit SS, cottonwood green ext, black interior (I know that is not most peoples favor
ite color).
Any thoughts on what may be a reasonable price for this....thanks, I appreciate everyones opinion

LOL...He traded in a 66 Rambler wagon on it.

I know how he felt. I traded a Subaru wagon in on a new '04 WRX STi. Big improvement.

Charlie,

The car probably came with the stripes because the stripe color is identified on the trim tag after the Z-28. Also the paint code is called out, in this case code 48. I have an almost twin to this car that I have owned for 27 years. It is a completely original stripe delete car except that the 2nd owner that I bought it from disliked the original color (citrus green) and painted it Forest Green in 1976. It has 2 dashes (- -) for the paint code on the trim tag. Does not have a number after the Z-28 on the tag as well. It is an 04B Norwood car. Nice original car you have at a very fair price.

Also, I have no idea why the referrence to special paint on your window sticker. It would make sense if the car was a stripe delete but since this car likely came with stripes I don't have a clue what it means. I don't have a window sticker to my car so I am not much help in that regard.

To me the car was a special order. If you look at the bottom of the window sticker it has the original owner's name at the bottom and the same guy (Howard Parkes) appears on the copy of the car invoice as the buyer.

Trunk floor has several pinholes but nothing you would replace the trunk floor for.

Nice car, The trans was 232.35 option in 70 that would have been a bunch of money wouldn't it? I didnt see the spec paint on the window sticker or did I miss something ?
