Not everybody hates them
It looks pretty good, even got the map lamp. Nice and tidy
might need a new dash pad though

I don't really think we hate them, they're just not as cool as a Fastback. All that said you have the potential to do a lot of things to improve it's appearence. 1 wheels and tires (man those hubcaps are ugly) 2 some kind of hood scoop, or Mach1 hood. (its just to long and flat) 3 a spoiler 4 tiddy up the interior 5 a well thought out paint job (mach 1 style) 6 make sure all mechanicals are good and you got yourself on nice ride.

Congratulations!
No hate from me - I actually have one. Mine just happens to be a parts car. I would jump all over one like that given the chance. If I ever find a M code with a 4 speed something would have to be worked out.
You are definitely in need of more space for those toys.
Are you planning then to tow it home with the F-150? I'll be interested on how the F-150 tows.
Congratulations and I am looking forward to the additional photos and information.

Joe, do you still have the car for sale?
You had a couple of inquiries over on the 71/73 forum.

You don't find them in that condition here in CT unless they have been restored and then you really pay for it!! The car looks real clean and it does have some nice attributes as you mentioned. Good luck with it and keep us updated when you learn more.
