Hey guys, I don't post often but I had to jump in on this one. The following mods were common in 1973-1975 in the eastern Ohio area where I grew up, around Youngstown.

1. rear tires were either L 60 x 15, or N 50x14.
2. common wheels were cragars s/s, Ansen slots
3. yellow slapper traction bars.
4. rear end jacked up using air shocks.
5. We painted the entire under carrage of the car white. Usually using white rustoleum and a brush on your back for two days. Then occasional touch-ups. (with the rear jacked up this looked cool and clean!
6. low-buck exhaust was stock exhaust manifolds with either thrush or cherry bomb dual mufflers up close to the motor, with the exhaust finished off with chrome extensions about 4 feet long that terminated just below the differential. The extensions had a flared end.
7. The high buck exhaust was the same but with headers and header mufflers.
8. Speedpart decals plastered on both rear side windows.
9. t-handle for the gear shift.
10. fake fur, the long kind, covering the package tray.
11. engine mods included, chrome air cleaner, yellow spark plug wires, accel ingnition coil, white headers.
12. Mr. Gasket vert-i-gate shifter, if you had the $$$

In general this was the look for a blue collar mill town suburb. The drag racing look was hot. In my highschool in the 73-75 era used muscle cars were plentiful and cheap. Most had the big blocks blown and long gone, with small blocks installed. I hope this info helps in your discussion.
