I only found this club a week ago. Does anyone live close to Tennessee in this club. I see a lot of members from Australia and New Zealand, cool. I have a 73 coupe but it needs a lot of body
work. I am thinking of selling it. It has all new suspension parts. The engine is a 65 HP A14 from a later 210 and the tranny is the HD 1977 model (the one everyone wants). It is just too much
for me anymore to do the body. It was wrecked in the left front. After having this car for eight years, I finally found a rusted fender but I haven't the tools to do a correct restoration
anymore so I haven't put the fender on yet. The car is sitting now. I haven't driven it fot over a year now. I love the 1200. I think it it the greatest car ever for the money. I had a 1965
Pontiac GTO, 389, tri-power, four-speed, for eight years. I though nothing about getting out of the GTO and getting into the 1200. It was respectable in every way. And if I had a flat I could
grab the fender and lift that corner onto a rock or something to jack it up. Anyone interested give me a reply. I got my first 1200 new in 1972. A couple of years later, a friend called it
Mario, commenting on how it handled. In 1981, I built a little super charged motor for it and another friend's 11 year old son called it Mareo Speedwagon and the name stuck. I had that car
until 1989. It had over 300,000 miles on it when I lost it in a three year divorce and it went to the shredder with a two thousand dollar motor in it before I could save it. I got this coupe
in 1991.
