    70sgeek drive it like a rental.

    Finally had a chance to go through my new ride - I tellya - this thing has like, 1 option throughout the whole car - the column shift TH350... Otherwise, all standard stuff - manual steering and drum brakes, AM radio, heater, whitewall Roadhandlers circa, 1978 and clock. Got it from the estate of the original owner with its first and only title (I was impressed even if the title clerk at my dmv wasn't..), various maintenance receipts and all the factory docs.

    The data plate is literally empty...

    ST72 44467FL1 O54820 BDY
    TR 135 48 A PNT
    10B A65

    Just for my scrapbook, does anyone have decode info for these #s? I plan to add p/s and p/b by year's end and already scored a correct factory am/fm radio :beer .

    many thanks for the decode info! pics are on the way - just want to change out the wheels/tires first - right now she's still sitting on 1978 whitewall Roadhandlers - not flattering in the least!
