73...still has the crome bumper rear and was the first year for raised hood profile with functional cowl induction. Sure the 73 was not the most powerfull year in stock trim, but how many of us actually leave our engines as stock? Not many.

-Ontario/Monaco Orange or House of Kolors Sunset Pearl or Tangelo.
-Black interior-80-82 style seats

Chrome all the way. If I could change one thing though, I'd have a BB.

350 ci/350 hp is nice, but nothing like a 68-69 427 or 70-72 454. Good luck.

What is the chrome thing sticking up from the rear deck? Looks cool whatever it is.

Re: What would you rather have......... (Paul G)

No doubt about it. A 69 427 is my dream. I plan on finishing the restoration of my 72, then sell it along with the 77 to buy a 69-72 big block. Steel Cities Gray will be the color.
