Cant believe that no one else bought this car. It was an ebay auction with a Buy it Now of $400. Best of all, its located a mere 35 miles from where my mom and stepfather live in Tennesee. Looks like a little roadtrip and visit is in order.  I`ll probably just haul it over to their place (out in the country) and cut it up there. 
Looks to me that its a 72 SE based on the tail lights and WP29 vin.
Seller also has a 73 at the same price.

Good work Twilt, I'm sure you'll make some $ on parts. Someday I'll have to get a '72 passanger fender off ya'

Nice score Tom! :yesnod: Yes it is a SE. Has the smaller rear quarter window. I wish that trunk floor wasn't all rusted up. :P

Pete, do you lnow something i don`t about the trunk? there isn`t a pic of the trunk floor. The one floor pic is of the pass side front floorboard.
Of course with the decklid missing.............it probably is rusty, unless someone pulled the plugs out of it. This one is going to donate some rear sheetmetal to the Mock turtle I am working on.. I was trying to avoid it but it looks like I will have to replace  the pass side  1/4 on it.
I can`t find my white book this morning to figure out what options were part of the SE pkg in 72 ..... am hoping that it might have sway bars.
     

TruckDriver

Okay, your right. That pic is the floor on the pass side. I would be supprized if it had a rear sway bar cause mine doesn't.  And it was not a part of the standard option package.

AHA, according to what you just posted.....front sway bar was part of the SE pkg. The bar and LCA`s are worth $150-$175 alone. I had an extra bar but needed the LCA`s with sway bar tabs.

Talked to the seller this evening for about 20 minutes. Trunk is supposed to be good. He is going to haul it over to my folks house for an extra $50 and throw in a free bumper jack.  :2thumbs:

it is not all that difficult to fab up tabs for a "driver". one of my former chargers had angle iorn tabs cut and bolted on to the arm to mount an addco after market bar. k frame mounts were pieces of 1.5 inch C chanel (basicly what the stock ones were).

on a couple of my race cars i made some pretty heavy LCA sway bar mounts out of heavy wall 2" sq tube, cut at a 45* with only like 1/4 inch on the short (lower) side. weld on in the same location as stock ones.

Yup, my 72 SE has front and rear sway bars.

I'm going to have to look under mine again. Because when I glanced under the rear before I pushed it into the garage, I didn't see a rear sway bar on mine. I thought it was a option.
