Here is my air cooled "71" Super. I completed a pan off restoration on it in March 2005 and it is absolutely gorgeous. I still have some dressing up things to accomplish but it is pretty much completed. I also have two pans that I am trying to unload if anyone is interested. One is supposed to be a 54 pan (no title) has IRS conversion and the other (title) 1973 with a running motor and buggie body. The value here is the the pan and motor as the buggie body is pretty much gone. It does however have new tires on it.

Will try and post some later today after work. Rained really hard a lost power. During that period I relaxed in my recliner and when I came to, it was 5:30 am and time to go to work. Will try this weekend. Thanks for the interest.

Is the '73 a Baja? Or is it a Manx?

No, the pan has not been cut. The Previous Owner cut the buggie body and was going to lengthen it, not knowing that the process is to shorten the pan not the buggie body.
