'73 was the only year for that front end on the Commando, if memory serves.

 

'72 and '3...

I had to look it up. I was pretty sure it was two years only. The earlier Commandos looked a lot better, IMO.

 

I had a '67, and I totally agree that the original wide CJ style looked a hell of a lot better! Hated that later front end from the first moment I saw one!

 

Yeah, Commando (sans engine — it did have a backfire to blame for that rust @BigCountry762x39 ) and an LC. My in-law has the LC running but in need of new tires.

...^^^... I tried to look at those air cleaners to see if any of those were "K Code" 289/271 HiPo's ....

 

I think that was a Shelby assembly line.

...^^^... Wow, even better ... ...

 

That would be cool but I doubt it. There are two cars that you can see where the side scoops would be and neither have anything there. Could they be added later? Maybe, but I still have my doubts. All the same color? Maybe that speaks to them being Shelbys?

 

Now I'm gonna have to see if l can find where l got that from, can swear it said it was a Shelby Facility.

 

It is the Shelby assembly line.

Look at the "safety" equipment (shoes - loufers) sunglasses, no nets, etc
Headers and heads just laying around, a giant pile of swaybars, valvecovers, perfect time in America!
