Thanks everyone....... I was half waiting to hear the 75 was a bad year or something. LOL The old plant was replaced for the newer GM crate. It won't loose rubber at the line but she will get up and go. Right now she is at about 275 hp. The PT I owned was a fun little retro I really like. Still a fan of them but she never came out of the garage. I bought a 2006 H3 so which would you drive if you have to rotate 3 cars around? LOL

Can someone confirm the bolt pattern on the rims. My guess and what I have managed to find out there is 5-4/34

The worst '75 is better than any PT Cruiser...

PT Cruiser = Retro?

These are "retro":

No, not really. Any man driving a PT Cruiser (especially a modified one) is unexplicable to me. A woman driving one to the WalMart to pick up feminine hygiene products, I understand.

LOL...
