Thread: 73.5 T Targa

    73.5 T Targa

    This forum is an incredible resource, thanks to those who have helped me source some parts. I am looking forward to getting my 73.5 Targa back on the road very soon. It's been in the shop getting its 80s paint job and rear reflector upgrade removed/taken down to bare metal and getting its original color back. Here are a couple of pics of the car as I found it.

    The original color was a special order that year - metallic green. It looks very different depending on the light/angle. Does anybody know how many of this color they made in '73?

    A few more pics of progress. Now if only the interior was in, I could drive it tomorrow!

    Welcome to the Board!

    Now that's a beautiful colour: do you know what is the code?

    Thanks Stephen, based on prior research and my shop's review of old microfiche on the paint codes, I understand the paint code is 230-9-3.

    Wow that color is FANTASTIC. Looks like you found a pretty solid car. Are the cookie cutters original?

    Peanut, yes the cookies are original, and I am definitely keeping them around.

    To some this will be a dumb question... but what differentiates a 73 from a 73.5 car? Is it when CIS came in?
