'74 Camaro- My first car
Well I've been on this site now for awhile and decided to make a thread for my car. Like the title says it's a '74 Camaro I bought about 2 years ago. I am now 17 and a senior in high school and drive the car daily, except in the snow. The car has a mild 4 bolt main 350 with a thumpr cam, backed by a 4 speed. It took me about 6 months of searching to find a '70s muscle car, with good paint, rust free, 350 or bigger engine, with a 4 speed. Anyhow I ended up with this car which I think is awesome! I am constantly upgrading things on the car and plan to continue that. So let me know what you think!
Pics- Front Rear Night shot with my dad Rear end/gas tank/sway bar after I restored the rear underside Engine- I don't like the air cleaner, just too many flames. I'm looking for a new one now. Interior- Has 4th gen camaro seats, and sorry the pic was taken and the car was dirty inside So let me know whatcha think of my car!!!

I have had 2 74s over the years. The last one I owned for over 10 years wile I fixed her up. Sold after moving to a new house and had no room to work on it.

Thanks everyone! I will definitely take care of it, I baby it all the time. I hope to sometime afford the wheels like the ones on this car- http://jerryforthofer.wordpress.com/...o-rf-3-4-2-sm/ -They are Billet Specialties, 17x8 in the front and the awesome 17x11 in the back. Thanks again for the compliments and I will be sure to keep this thread updated as I continue to upgrade my car!

Very nice. Reminds me of my first Camaro, a 79 Z28. In fact that looks like the hood scoup I had on mine. Enjoy it, take care of it, and she'll take care of you!

However, those look really nice too. I hope someday to have a second gen as nice as that, whether Trans Am or Camaro. |

And if you save up you should easily be able to get either a Trans am or a Camaro. Mid to late 2nd gens are too expensive yet but they are raising in value.
