 :wave: Welcome fellow Michigander to the site.  Great car you've got!   :2thumbs:

i contacted the original owner last summer he still lives there he found the old pics and original 73 liscense plate.


For your information:  You can register the original 1973 plate with Lansing for a one time fee of $35.  Your plate WILL NEVER expire.  Get, and keep, that plate! If you need more help on this contact me, I will hook you up with what you need to do.
