Default Newbie and my 74 z

I love all the 2nd gen camaros, mine is a 74 z28, they dont get much love but hopefully we can turn that around and have more of these things restored! I cant wait to get started on mine, what do you guys think?

Is that a 4 speed? If so I don't think its worth the restoration. Best thing to so is just put a reasonable price on it and PM me your address.

I have a real soft spot for the 74, I drove one all thru high school. It was my daily driver from 16 till about 20. I did not sell it till I was 23 with a wife and kid on the way.

Im not sure how rare they are, i will have to check the production numbers on it. It was my dads car, he has owned it since he was 16 and its all original and disassembled in our basement. It will need some body work but it ran when he took it apart so I have that going for me. I will put the stripes back on it, i think they are really cool looking, the only change i plan on making on it is maybe some greyish torque thrust to replace the stock blue rims.

Ya, im pretty happy with it, how does the body look compared to other 2nd gens you have seen? In my opinion it looks pretty good overall but does still need some work. Im just lucky that when he took it apart he got everything including the front bumper off that thing, those can be pretty expensive. I just like the underdog muscle cars like the 74, you dont often see a well done one out there, there are some but not enough. Any suggestions on where to get parts or where to start?
