Thinking Huger Orange with with white stripes and complete new black interior kit, then do a 6.0 ls swap. I was going to keep it all original but I got screwed as it does not have the original # matching engine like it was advertised so now I can put in what I like. I had a 71 when I was 16 and somehow those first cars always stick with you.I was really thinking about selling it but I think I'll keep it.
I would just keep it too. They are getting really hard to find now and are bringing dumb money for a clapped out turd. I had a 72 RS that I bought from my high school friend. It was his older brother's when we were in high school. We put an engine in it before we had our licenses and drove it around occasionally on the back roads. His brother didn't live near the farm so it was no big deal. Eventually John bought it from his brother. Right after high school I bought it from John so he could buy a 70 Cuda. Like a tard, I traded the Camaro for Vette parts. Man I miss beating on that camaro. Haha
