Welcome. That is about as nice as 73 survivor gets.
Even the nox valve is still hooked up.

Great to hear from you! Enjoy the site. I love the color combination of your car. Tell us more about it and your plans for it.

Plans are to first up is to fix the brakes as it has been sitting here in oz for 4 years may need a master cylinder & not licenced.
Will need a few parts like, in the USA you call parts differently to the Australian market so forgive me if I get it wrong,master cyldinder, dash pad -crash pad, sill molds-rocker panels mold, kick plates inside the door on top of the rocker panel, carpet, window winders This is just a start any help would be great.
Also after some Mopar Performance Parts where is the best place to get them.
