72 TA clone
So I'm an addict that can't help but constantly drag new stuff home and never finish anything. I bought this car in 2014. It's in pretty rough shape. It's a base model someone did a lousy job cloning into a TA some time in the past. They cut the fender vent and shaker holes out of other panels with a torch and lap welded them into the 72 panels. It's been hit in the rear and needs a DS quarter, frame rail, tail panel, and trunk floor. The passenger quarter is full of cracking bondo. The doors have some rust. The rockers and floor are completely solid.
It had sat in this lady's field next to her other TA for a few years. At the time no one was selling a full quarter panel. I think she was asking $2500. I told her the body was rougher than I'd like, but I'd give her $1200 just to have it. I was kinda surprised she agreed, but I bought it and hauled it home.
Tail panel
Floor's solid
Interior isn't too bad
The 400 in it ran but had small valve heads. I put my 455 in it and put that 400 in a 79 I sold.
