I will post a few more photos when I get it back together. Just finished the engine install tonight and fired it up. Off to the exhaust shop tomorrow for a fresh set of magnaflows and then ready to cruise again. The car has 43k miles on it but the need to fix a few leaks lead to a mild roller cam and a set of prepped heads to punch it up a bit more. Thinking of doing a couple of legs of power tour this year from IN to IA and then visit my family back in Iowa. The GTO can sit home for a change this year. Maybe we can arrange a mid year Grand Prix get together in Indiana.

Cool, I go back and forth between 73, 74, and 76 as my favorite year (aww, heck, I like em all), 1974 is the year I got my license, 1976 is the year I graduated. I'd love to see additional pics of your car as well. We could definitely see about meeting up, if you get near Indianapolis, we have The Suds, a Saturday night cruise-in hangout. Even though there may be upwards of 200 cars there, there are seldom any 73-77 GPs there.
I am glad to see as many posters on this thread so far, I knew there were several fans of the mid-70s GPs.
