  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Love your 73 Phil ..... Back in the early 1980’s the guy who repaired my business trucks here in W.NY (and sold used cars on the side) had a 73 Gran Sport Stage 1 - 4 speed on his lot. Not sure where he got it. It was the identical color combination as your car Phil. He called me because when he replaced the clutch he resurfaced the flywheel and the car developed a terrible out-of-balance vibration. He needed a new flywheel and I had one. I hooked him up with the flywheel and it solved the problem. I could’ve bought the car for $3500. I knew the colonnade stick cars were ultra rare (even back then) but I was still too in love with the 70-72 GS body style. I never thought that body style would catch on. Now I like them! I’m sure I will try to latch onto one at some point. Hindsight, right!

      Yes hindsight gets us all. The Black 4 speed I had was built in Mass. It was originally Harvest Gold and Sold in the Bronx. It could possibly be the same car. My old rust bucket.LOL That color seems to follow me as I still have the 4 speed and the T code FAST car in that color. Only 42 stage1's were painted in that color. Look forward to seeing you soon. Definitely at BG.
