Default 74 Camaro

Won't be long and this will be a totally different looking car. Suppose to pick up a set of Z wheels later today for a start.

Very nice. The 5 spoke wheels on the Zs look great, especially if you can get them painted body color.

Sorry Sarge, thought you had a 74. I cant wait to get the 5 spokes. trying to sell the trix for 200 with the tires.. I think that is cheap. Least it will cover cost of new rings and caps and maybe part of a new white letter tire. LOL.

Nah I have a 73. Also got a 78 that I'll start driving when I get back to TN. The 73 was originally a 350/4 speed car. Still has the 350 but the previous owner put a TKO 600 in place of the 4 speed. Still has the 3.73s as well.

The 78 was originally had a 350 (not the LM1 that came in the Zs though) and a TH350. Still has the TH350 but the engine is now a Vortec 350 out of a 98 truck. As far as I know it still has the original 3.08 gears.

Wouldn't be a Z28 wheel as those were all 15 inch wheels.

Those are actually old N90 wheels if I recall correctly. Which would explain the 14" wheels.

I have already put white letter tires on it and started the wet sand and buffing process. Will add a pic or two later. Trying to trade those racing seats off for 2 regular stock seats. Those things are hard as a brick. No fun..
