Re: My daily driver in 1974
My everyday driver in highschool was a 71 6 cyl auto Paid $300 for it painted it put in an interior kit and drove it for a year and then I went big time and bought a 71 RS with a 307 4spd for $500 the 307 had been overrevved and broke the timing chain ...well you know what happened bent every valve in it... I had a 350 that was built and dropped it in, painted it put an interior kit in it... then drove it through the rest of highschool... sure wish I could pick up early 2nd gens for $300 -$500 again...
GONE are those days!!! Looks like the mirror got ripped off at one point and the top of the door was spotted with primer... BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!

Re: My daily driver in 1974
Was it "Ridin the Storm Out" (my guess) released in '73 or "Lost in a Dream" from '74?
R.E.O./T.W.O. from '72? Or REO Speedwagon from '71? My favorites are "You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tuna Fish" from my senior year ('78) or "Hi Infidelity" from '80. Good tunes...

[/ QUOTE ] Actually back then we drove these cars year around and NY used salt on the roads in the winter. Salt got under the mirror gasket and it started to rust out. That primer is my crude way of repairing it. That's why I don't do body work. That car was my absolute favorite and one of these days I will build one just like it.  Rick H.
