Anyone have one? It's on my list of cars to own when I some day have a garage to keep it properly. I've always liked the styling, it's a true classic in my opinion. How about pics/wallpapers? I know someone has something.

My uncle has a 71 (I think) with a 350, great sound but IMO the handling and usability are not near the looks. I would take a Tr-6/Healey 3000/ any british sports car over one any day of the week.

IMO

Pics or...well, you know the drill. Anyway, I want it for the looks, it would be a garage queen. If i want to throw a car around corners I have the Pcar or my bike.

I will try to find some. Its a stunning looking car, just not the best driver, by which I mean, On ramps have no joy in them, low speed corners in residential neighborhoods are no fun. IMO (even for a garage queen) I would find something else.

If you are set on it though, make sure you get a pre EPA noosed example (I believe 72 is the last year before they went to the base 170hp engine.
