Thanks

Nice 72. I am kind of partial to 72s myself. What are the specs on the car. Any mods or is it stock.

Nice ride. I'm leaning toward the 70-72's as my preferred years.

Thanks very much for the compliments. Other than the engine, it's stock. Power brakes, steering, windows, T&T, A/C, auto, 3:36's, luggage rack, standard interior. The original enine is in the garage on a stand. The existing engine is a 384 with Eagle rotating assembly, Edelbrock Performer RPM 72 CC heads, custom ground Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam, factory aluminum dual plane manifold, Holly Street Avenger 770 and unknown brand headers hooked up to 2 1/2 system with mandrel bent 90 degree bends at the back. I went with Dynomax ultra flow mufflers and had the stock tips fitted with 2 1/2 pipes. My biggest complaints are the speed pro lifter I chose and the Boss Hog 2500 RPM stall speed converter. I am slowly correcting the errors I made when I designed the engine, but I seem to be having a minor cash flow problem!

Vette looks good and the killer small block sounds like it makes it even better. Good job.

Very nice! I have to say, I really like all c-3s. They all kind of have a place, in one way or another. The 68-73's are classic looking, the 74-77's are make good monster trucks, and the 78+ make good racing mules for testing your suspension/drivetrain ideas. Thats just me though. Someday I'd like a sweet 69 coupe, a classic 71 vert, a 75 lifted with 33'' tires, and a 78 with a hugemongus blower and 22 or so inch wheels....
