This car was stored every winter and not driven until the roads were clear. Cloth interior in excellent shape, AM radio with 8 track player still remains in the dash, aftermarket AM/FM CD player is mounted in the glove box. Nothing is cut, spliced, molested. Dash pad is perfect, seats are perfect, door panels are perfect, headliners is perfect. Carpet is original and has a very few small stains. Nothing that is visible. There is no fading in the interior at all Under the hood is all original except for the VIR assembly. I upgraded to a high pressure switch system and updated the A/C to R134A. Nothing was cut or spliced to do this. Car retains all the original exhaust, smog equipment. I did replace the rubber fuel lines, fuel pump just for safety. Exterior of car has a few minor door dings on rear quarters, otherwise car is in excellent shape. Paint shines like it did from the factory, all chrome is perfect. I installed Chevy SS wheels and BF Goodrich Radial tires. Someone did put air shocks on it otherwise it has all stock components. Vinyl top is perfect, windows are scratch free, all weather seals are soft, plyable, and look brand new. This car drives like a brand new car, no wind noises. I drove it to a Good Guys car show in Des Moines IA last weekend. 358 miles round trip and had no issues, car was parked in a garage every night and there was not one drop of oil, liquid, or tranny fluid. Trunk retains the original jack, spare tire, trunk mat. This car performs beautiful, looks beautiful and is a time capsule of how cars were built in 1974. I do have the original hubcaps. I would drive this car anywhere with no worries.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
