I'm back
Left here for the C5 section when I sold my 81 and bought a 2000 Vert 5 years ago. Sold the 00 and just bought a 74 Coupe. Guess I just missed all the endless wrenching...lol.. Nice to be back..

Welcome back! Hope you'll be posting pictures of the 74 as you freshen her up. Curious to know what made you part with the C5. I realize the newer tech features was a different experience to wrenching, but was it more expensive and require as much or more effort to keep it on the road?

I have reoccurring pain from 2 left foot fractures and the clutch was getting to be a problem. Also bought a new Camaro for daily driver and it was time for another "toy" I could work on.

It's more gratifying to wrench your car and drive it. The newer computerized cars don't have the heart. Too simple to put in the key and drive away.

Welcome back, GreenDream. There's something about the curves on this genaration car that captures more than a little imagination. Hope you enjoy many, many hours of pleasure when you take the '74 out for a hop.
