Man you guys have some sweet rides! I'm thinking about removing the big black rub strip from the sides of my 77 and replacing it with a thinner, either white or red strip that only goes between the wheel arches.

Beautiful 77 KiwiSJ. I laughed at your comment. I have been scouring the web and swap meets for the wider body side molding in red for my car as I think the thin looks a bit weak on the large sides of this car.
Enjoy the car!

Muscle Collector - thanks for the compliment!
The original tires were whitewall, still look new but are hard as a rock. |

Just realized that was supposed to read "love to SEE MORE PICS OF the 76, as well as more of the 77". Guess I was tired.

I've tried several times to post pics, but also keep getting the notice that the admins have to review. Maybe the image resolution is too high...? I promise I'm not trying to post porn - well, some here might consider it GP porn!

Seventh time's a charm... Lower resolution.
Genuine '74 SJ from Stillwater, OK. Bought last spring through eBay. Fairly basic car from the factory with few options: SJ, A/C, 8-track (long gone), balck/white appointment mix, white vinyl top (long gone), rallys, bumper guards and cruise. All soft parts are totally sun-cooked but the framerails are smooth as a baby's hiney. Previous owner was trying to make a NASCAR out of it - LOTS of stuff missing, broke, hacked up or just plain busted. I've wanted a '74 since my family sold the one we had in 1980 (I was 9 years old and devastated. My grandmother has since told me if she'd known I loved that car so much she would have saved it for me - D'OH!). The good news is I've been collecting parts and options for 25 years so I have inventory to replace the missing/broken stuff and option it out to the max in the process. Before I'm all done, she'll have: Full power accessories: Astroroof, windows, locks, seats, trunk; honeycombs, digital AM/FM/8-track/CB (thank you, '79 Coupe de Ville), Pulse wipers, landau top (white), lamp group, dual vanity mirrors, RH remote mirror, tach, rear defrost (still looking for good glass), Safe-T-Track and a 4-speed manual! |

Just had a 75 one owner fall in my lap this week. Could not pass the deal up. The wife gets this one. 53570 original miles and a very solid car. Gonna get it fired up this weekend after sitting for the past 6 years.

Nice find!! Cornering lamps and full vinyl top too. Man, these things must've rivaled a Cadillac if fully loaded.

Thanks guys. Been thrashin on it for a few days now. Car runs, drives and stops great! Still deciding on replacement tires, shocks and exhaust. The wife wants a little rumble, so if I do duels looks like the crossmember will need to be changed and she needs to decide on staying whitewall or raised white letter. It's her ride...lol
BTW, anyone make a decent 1 into 2 muffler/ replacement system if I just wanna run one pipe and split it into 2 to go out the back? Was this how they did it back in the 70's with converters? Everything from the cat back is off the car so I don't know... |

Some guys will have the exhaust shop flatten the top of the pipe slightly where it runs under the single hump cross member. It will show a bit more under the car but would save the cost of a new cross member. Good luck with the project. Your wife should love that car as it drives beautiful. My vote. RWL tires.

Thanks. Yeah 1 exhaust guy I know suggested just going under the crossmember... he's done it before but he did not mention flattening the pipe but that's not a bad idea. And as far as tires I showed her Both on a 75 and she immediately went for raised white letters!

As for the exhaust, get a crossmember from a 73-74 GP (I believe most A & G bodies of those years will work as well), then you can have a correct style full dual exhaust system installed. Keep us posted, Dave

Lots of nice looking GP's here. Couple pics of my 77 SJ, actually sellers pics from when I bought it about 2 years ago. The interior no longer has the goofy cup holders, steering wheel has been replaced by a tan factory sport wheel I scored on Ebay. Replaced the non working clock with a factory tach. Has about 62K miles, I'm the third owner, came with the window sticker and other paperwork.

Got to play with a new camera, so I thought I would try and post up a couple new photos.
