The master cylinder eventually went out so I got another one in 2020 along with all the parts to rebuild the brakes on all 4 corners but I then came down with a serious case of retirement syndrome and it has been sitting ever since. 😴
Nice pics! '73 was the last year for the flat windshield, if I remember correctly. It's too bad - you just don't see many, if any, around much anymore. Thanks for posting those!


OK, folks, sorry for the tangent. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...
