    Ive talked to him once or twice, and youre right. :D Id rather hope he stumbles through and see this instead of hassling him with a PM...lol

    If we get the subforum Ill be holding photo contests and other things like that to figure out whose pictures are going up as "model photos" for various things :thumbs2:

    an LDO can be identified by the following options:
    -body side molding with vinyl insert
    -plush carpet
    -woodgrain treatment to the dash
    -deluxe gas cap
    -color coded wheel covers
    -extra coat of paint
    -soft, lowback vinyl bucket seats with matching door panels and headliner
    -chrome plated grille

    *'72 LDO cars had sport lamps in the grille and a dash mounted switch, just like the Grabber models
    *'72 models used later style 73+ inside door handles
    *'72-early '73 models had a padded vinyl package tray

    there may be a couple of items that im forgetting but you get the idea :)

    Just don't put up a picture of my ugly mug unless you're looking for a model for breaking cameras! :biglaugh:
