Seems almost complete except for rear heater and the wrong rear doors. Has both original front seats and long jump seats. There’s rust through on the floors and at the corners of the side panels. It’s to far gone for me but might work for a parts rig for someone else. I’m waiting on the title in my name that should be here in about 2-3 weeks. Ask questions if interested and I’ll do my best to answer them. I just got this a week ago on 5/5/25
$2500 OBO

If only it had some patina...

You sure this is a 73? Correct me if I’m wrong but the tire carrier should be on the other side…unless they switched mid way through 73…plus no 73 only reverse light. Otherwise looks fairly clean under the growth!

There was a dual battery setup and the engine turns by hand.
The PO said it sat in a field for more than 2 decades and it shows.
Can take more pics if needed.

Someone put the tire carrier there and ran the bolts through the tub. Tag on door jamb says 72. It was titled as a 73 in WA state.

The frame appears to be straight and although ugly, it seems to be salvageable.

I’ve posted a good amount of pictures to give you all a fairly good idea of the condition of it but if anyone wants to see something in particular, lmk.
