[align=left]I fill it up... go real fast... try to use all 454 cubes at least 1/2 the time... blame it on the wrong speedo drive gear when I occasionally get stopped, usually get off with a warning... fill it up again, and go home smiling. Drive it like you stole it (or at least rented it!)

I have added a new flywheel, center force 2 clutch and a new Hearst shifter to my 74.
As for the rest of the car it's in pretty good condition except for the front bumper.
Has a rebuilt/modified 1979 350 with approx 370 hp and less then 7k miles
I plan on replacing the front bumper and maybe some new paint in the next year or two.
This car is a blast to drive and keeps me busy fixing all the little things that break on a weekly basis. As for the hard stuff like front end work and body work I will probabbly take it to a good shop. To be good at that stuff you need to do it often and I am getting to old for the heavy work.
When the road crews start patching all these Jersey potholes I will take it out of storage and crank it up.

I have all 3 (74, 86, 97) in the garage. I'll drive them on weekends. I'm working on buying a 63 thru 67 and 05 thru 09, preferably a C2 first. But will see what drives my way first.
