Very nice ,thanks for the pics .

Years ago grumpy told me that green on a car was the kiss of death when going to sell it. He said that green usually fetched a lower price. Maybe that is why we call him grumpy.

With that said. I think that the car is really cool. I like the green, and the interior all in green is really cool. I have always liked that console. You have a nice ride.

A little "Green" with envy here.

Very nice looking 72. I have always love the look of the wheels you have on it.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. It started out as a low mile 307 2bbl Malibu. Other than the 5th character of the VIN and a few other small details, the car now has all of the "SS" options. I am hoping to throw some sticky tires on it and make a few passes before I do the heads and cam swap.

Funny you should say something about the color Ms Grumpy, for many years my father considered green to be bad luck. Now, we jokingly tell people that we built a "green car" to help the environment. :p

Nice car, I like the name "Green Bean". I noticed in all the pic's that the hood is in, your cowl induction door is closed, is it not fuctional for some reason?

Gary

Gary, it is not functional currently. I haven't had the time to address that detail. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.

very nice!!

Very nice and I love the color! I searched for over 2 years for a Forest green,white gut white stripe automatic 70.Then I found the black car.:)But,if I ever find the right green car,the black one is gone.

It sounds like you just described flemming's car.
