Thank you. Idles between 750 to 800RPM. Never raced. I don't trust myself with the stick. Might miss a shift and lose the engine. If it was automatic I might try it.

According to their website this '73 is going to be on Bring a Trailer very soon.

It will be interesting what this bids to. I don't think it will sell in this current down market environment.
