Just wanted to share the latest on the 74 with my fellow C3 owners.

I still have a few "detail" type items to go, but for now it's on the road with the 454 and side pipes singing LOUD!!!!!

DaBo...

Very nice! Dark colors on vettes look really great. I notice you do not have the split rear bumper. If you changed.... it sounds like a smart idea.
