We stopped maybe 3 times on the way home and each time he got a different compliment from people. He found it a little funny that people were driving around in 20 - 30 thousand dollar cars and he was the one getting the compliments for a car he only paid a couple of grand for. I was starting to get jealous. Now he's bugging me to take him to car shows (its not even on the road yet). He said he was going to come home from school today and just sit in it. I remeber those days....
A quick search for parts and there's not a lot out there for this generation (74 - 78). Hope I did the right thing...
They aren't the most popular... Luckily for mechanical parts you can use pretty much anything from 79-95 as far as drivetrain goes.

Well, to many I'm still a kid I suppose. I have a 67 Mustang project car. I also work for Kirkham Motorsports if that tells you what kind of cars I'm into. Of course, I like the European exotics too. Before I worked for Kirkham i worked for a Porsche dealer and I've been trying to get work with the local Ferrari dealer for quite some time (not that I'd leave Kirkham for that! more of a on the weekends type thing being a photographer and all).
