I like it. A few nitpicks - the package tray has been cut for 6x9s (if I remember correctly speakers can be installed from inside trunk utilizing factory holes without cutting tray), and the cowl screening looks incorrect.
Oh yeah, and it’s in Canada - they still won’t let us yanks in right?

Read the ad again. The car is a W29 which is a real 442. The W30 emblems are the fake part. But the U code 72 442 is every bit as potent at the 71 442s.
Still trying to figure out how Leslie West fits in. I saw him in Central Park NYC summer of 70. As a matter of fact a riot broke out after the cops beat on some poor guy and everyone ran different directions. Total chaos, I never found my ride to get home.

Exactly the same engine specs. The only meaningful difference is the available rear axle ratios. With TH400, 3.23 was the standard ratio and 3.42 was an available option in 1971. For the 1972 model year 2.73 was the standard ratio and 3.23 was the steepest available ratio. 3.42 and higher were only available with W30 in the 72 model year.

Oops! My bad. I didn't know how large that image was, before uploading I intended to paste him in front of Joe's image, in order to appear that he's laughing down at the Lada about to go airborne . If still edittable, I'll see if I could reduce its size

Yeah, Noow Yoahk cops were notorious, and maybe still are, for rough-housing. Maybe, Leslie would have been better off hiring the Hell's Angels for security instead, like the Rolling Stones did during one of their concerts. That way, not only would the poor guy be put permanently quiet. Everyone else there would have just not reacted. Therefore, no riot would have taken place. But then again, it's highly doubtful that Leslie West and the Mountain band could play Sympathy for the Devil

Hmmmm, 1970 power window switches on a 72. 'Electric rear defogger'? Don't see any lines in the glass looking past those ugly speaker bumps, nor a switch for it new to the fan speed on the ac controls. Not the end of the world, but inaccurate so I wonder what else..
She is about 30,000 US if the fellow is asking 37,500.
To find a clean car in Canada isn't very easy, the coast is the place to find a decent one.
And with covid and high cost of living in lower mainland, odds are that price will come down.
Yes, this ad was posted many months ago but looks like no buyers.
It does have rust bubble coming up from underneath the paint. Hard to say how good/bad the body is as rust bubbles are usually signs of poor body work and major rust. The bubbles were coming up in the lower door panels which means the doors are rotting from the inside out.
The engine had some work done recently and it has the incorrect "C" heads on the engine.
Maybe a $20k-$25k (US) car?
