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!
