We had some nice weather here the other day, so I decided to drag out the MC, clean off the dust, give her a good wax and vacuum the interior. Unfortunately she's been sitting for about 3 years now and I'm afraid it has taken its toll. :( Too busy with quads, kids and work. :( Now that the car is clean, I may see if it is still road worthy with some short trips and a cell phone! :D Fun Ride!

The cars history: My grandmother bought it new and I bought from her in '83.

nice car... my first ride was a 1978 MC... different body style, but still had the same lines.

Thanks Guys. The 70 to 72 were almost the same. In 73 they added more roundness (around the headlights) to the front end and kind of cut the back of the top to more vertical.. They also added swivel bucket (just before the van craze :) ) seats.

My grandma bought it with skirts, hub caps, and bench seat. As you can see now the skirts are gone and rally sports are installed. The interior has been replaced with factory buckets, console and floor shifter. I've considered selling it, but I think would regret it.
