I took my 72 for a drive up Mt Evans road last weekend. I got the car 2 yrs ago as a rolling shell. No motor no interior no nothing, but no rust either. I have reassembled the car piece by piece over the years and got it fully dialed in. 2.1L, cam, Webers, 911 front end, 180lb springs it is now solid and getting to be very pretty. I tell you man, there is NOTHING like taking one of these cars on a twisty road with no one in front of you. This was a 30+ mile drive and I only caught two cars, fortunately, near passing zones. I had an ear to ear grin the whole time. My motor ripping through the rev range, just singing, beautiful sunshine, top off, Aspens beginning to change and twisty road. Wow. All good.
Hang in there, when you are done, it will be worth it.
The drive began near a kinda expensive area outside of denver and there were lots of newer, big dollar Pcars. They had the respect to wave at me, in my 30yrold teenr, first. That felt good.
