@ outlawkinser - I wish I'd had mine since '77. I agree it looks even better now. I'm curious why you took the sidepipes off as I'm considering adding them to mine. Beautiful car!
@ Paul 74 - Thanks again for the warm welcome when I first got my car in December. Your car is awesome and I always enjoy looking at photos of it.
@ jam23059 - My car is a 4 speed and it was originally brown too - with the same interior. Your's look great.

Thanks for the info about the sidepipes. I have Magnaflows and I really love the sound - just loud enough. I love the way the sidepipes look, but I have concerns about them. One is what you mentioned about the sound being right next to you. The other is - I have a Factory Five AC Cobra spec racer (kit car) which is an open car. Every time I drive it, when I wipe my face afterwards, black comes off on my hands and I smell like fumes. I would be disappointed if I put sidepipes on the 74 and had the same issue with smelling and needing to bathe after driving.

@ robie WI - What a beautiful color.
@ T Rush - I think fumes can be an issue. I've read other threads about side exhaust, and that has been mentioned. It's the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on the beautiful stainless steel sidepipes a forum vendor has now.

Ron,
Thanks for the kind words. She really is a 10 footer. Been debating going back to the original white and keeping the oxblood interior or going completely radical and keeping the candy apple red and doing a black interior.

Amfix, Great looking car. Are those round head lights under the clear covers?
I really like the look of the fixed head lights on your car.
Great thread guys, there are a lot of nice 74's here.
