By 1974, when gas was very difficult to obtain and much more expensive than we had been accustomed, I came about <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">thisclose</span></span> to trading in my 73 Z on a new 74 Pinto station wagon! Thank God the dealership did not have one just like I wanted in stock, or it woulda been a done deal [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img]

Since there seem to be quite a few other former 73 Z28 owners following this thread, let me ask....do any of you remember the color of your engine being noticeably more red in color than the traditional Chevrolet orange? Mine definitely was, and when I pulled the motor in '77 to make modifications, I repainted it to the 'proper' color orange.
