Well...what can I say....
my 1975, bought last September, finally got the plate put on it after sitting since 1988. The car hadn't been driven in over 13 years!!! I swapped the single barrel Solex for a double barrel Weber 32/36, changed the intake manifold, switched the plumbing, put new brake lines in it...(already did the rotors, pads, drums, shoes...etc.
I embarked on a 250 mile hike from my parents house in Canada to my place in Michigan...
I couldn't believe the car....after all that time...and still able to reach 90 miles per hour on the Interstate. What a rush!!!!
Some of the people on this board recommended that I take my gas card and my AAA card....well I didn't need either...luckily.....the ride went off without a hitch and I plan on selling my other daily driver to fall even more in love with this great little car.
Keep 02'in

Mike
