I had the understanding that the arch was for 72 models only.
And they switched back to square in 73 because of the
cracking problem. Simply wasn't a strong design for
basic transportation use.
This is supposed to make a rare feature amoung Midgets. I
don't know if this means they are worth more or not for said
feature???
I have one that I'd sacrifice with no engine/rear end/radiator/front discs
with a free and clear title. (New Carpet kit/Rollbar/Chrome bumpers, etc...)
I'd let it go for a song.
