Hell yeah it would! Beautiful lines on that model.
word. '73 was the only year for the thin bumpers on that body in the US.
What it weigh?
What can you make it weigh?

3616lbs. Im betting you could pull 600lbs out of that thing.
That 420 "AMG" is still for sale locally... it's under $1000 now. You could sell the wheels and recoup most of that budget.

You could buy this and be "Team Smack."
I used to work for a guy who had a '70's 450SL. He had a Camaro subframe welded in the front (IIRC, he said it was pretty easy) and a small block Chevy with a TH350.

That right there is some impressive knowledge of arcane auto trivia.
If not a Challenge project, an LSx would motivate this car nicely.
