A backdated Carrera is about 100 lbs less than a stock impact bumper Carrera.
FWIW--------- I think that if history has taught us nothing, it has taught us that an original, unmolested example always trumps a modified one. If you want a long hood, buy a long hood, by the time you are done with your conversion, you will have spent more than you can buy a nice 69-73 car.
