hey guys. most of you know me as the sad 94 lt1 kid. well now i have new joy haha. my father in-law hit his mid life crisis finally at 49 and wanted to relive his youth again. back in the day in '81 he had a '74 ss nova, 4 speed with 350. he lived it up in that and got rid of it for a 72 olds cutlass supreme with the rockett package.
well, story goes on, the guy he sold his 74 to found him on all things facebook and said "hey bro, i got your car and need to sell it." well we fell for it at first, he kept sayin it was 4 hours from paint, he freshened up the body, perfect running order, yada yada. we went to look at it, and i was very hesitant considering he wanted $8500 for it. it was all a lie. worst part was, the car wasnt even a 74. we left quickly.
that night i found the 74 that we would later buy on craigslist in lanoka harbor, owned by a guy with a original 70 gto judge. Iowa car, 2 owners, clean title, original 68000 miles, original everything. car was bought new by a gm sales manager and meticulously maintained until he died. it then sat, and caused some of the issues we have now, but its a running driving car, just needs some love.
it only has 3 options: turbo 350 column shift (instead of powerglide), 350 2 barrell engine, and an am radio. bench seat, manual drum brakes all the way around, and we have the original ugly wheels with it too.
the day we got it home:
