My name is albert. I just got a stock 75 gt as a project car

Post by arc_54 »

My name is albert. I just got a stock 75 gt as a project car. The interior is pretty bad. Missing and broken parts. I have been looking for interior parts but do not know what years are interchangeable. I know of a 72 st with a good interior, but do not know if the parts will fit my 75.
would someone give me some advice...

Thanks... I hope I can end up with the 72 st I am looking at. It has all the parts I am looking for. Just as soon as I figure out how to post a picture of my 75 gt... I will post it. Thanks again... Albert

I just purchased a 72 st ... I would like to know your opinions on what 72 parts I should switch on the 75 gt I have. The 75 gt has a bad interior so I plan on putting in the 72 interior in the 75gt. If you were me what parts would you switch?

:wave: Welcome!

Cool another RA22 in the group :2thumbs:

I'd switch what ever needs to be switched based on condition.

Except probably the center console, I like the later console with the more flowing finished look. The 71-72 has a cool clock placement but the gap between the console and dash always looked like something was missing, at least to me.

:cheers:

Welcome to the board! :)

If you picked up a '72 with nice bumpers, you'll probably want to transfer them to your '75, or sell them to one of us. biggrin

And before you ask, I don't know a thing about transferring bumpers. But I'm certain there is someone here who's done it!

Remember.. the 71-72 are getting harder to comeby. keep the 72 and use the 75 for parts or keep both. once you let go its hard to get it back.

I'm partial to the 75 but that 72 looks pretty good in the 1 picture.

Does it have problems? Why not keep it intact?

If you are going to rob it for parts for the 75 you definately want to swap the smiley bumpers over. I can give you the details of how to, if you do.

:cheers:
