Hello there. I'm glad to see such a strong community of support for these classic imports. There are not too many of these left on Canadian roads.
I bought mine at a local car auction. It looks as though someone got frustrated with their project, and sold it. It has a 18RG fitted in it, although I
don't think they came in North American spec 73's ? ? Pretty good shape and very minimal rust :2thumbs: I will post some pics after I take some.

Welcome to the board! :)

Wish I'd found a 73 with an 18RG at my local dealer! Your kind of luck is vanishingly rare nowadays. Congratulations!

I'm in Kelowna. Yeah I was pretty lucky finding this car! Some kid musta had it and put in some fugly chinese racing bucket seats and stripped the interior. I would like to make it look close to factory on the inside,maybe more supportive seats. I will have to take some pics and let you guys have a look. I know where there are a couple more of these cars in the interior, just sitting, so I might pick one up for a part out.
