Great car, Scott. You'll enjoy it. I had a '72 many years ago. My most vivid memory of the car was being caught by the New England blizzard of February 1978. I spent 4 hours going 15 miles -- but the *only* vehicles moving on I-95 (semis included) were the 4 wheel drives and my Sonnett. Most of the problems (annoyances, actually) that I had with the car were electrical and most of those were connected (no pun intended) to the difficulty of maintaining a good ground on a GRP bodied car. When the lights don't light, check the ground first. I sold mine in 1979 when the kid came along and we needed more room. I sure wish I still had it.
