Yesterday I am rolling down a toll road in my 72. Traffic is light, and I'm doing 75-80 (fastest I've ever driven this car, now that I think about it). All good, no sweat.
As I approach a toll booth and slow down, I start hearing a loud metallic rattling-type sound. Hard to describe, but it sounded something like maybe something hitting the fan blades? But is sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car.
I come to a complete stop, the sound is LOUD! I frantically check the gauges - all good. I put it in neutral, and the sounds is still there. I quickly pay my toll and start planning on where I can exit to shut down and take a look before I make it any worse.
As I leave the toll booth and get back up to speed, the sound subsides quickly and then goes away. I take my exit, and everything sounds and feels normal. I get out and take a look, and can't see anything wrong. The only potential thing I think I notice is maybe a slight smell of exhaust inside the car? This could be my imagination, as I have driven it mostly with the top down. And the exhaust is all new, from the headers to the tips...
Any ideas? It's got me baffled...
