I just had another 74 400 built with KRE heads, cliff's qjet rebuild, sun tuned distributor, new Pypes exhaust, hurst rebuilt original shifter, freshened Muncie 4speed and refinished front seats. It needs a full resto but the good part is I have the original front fenders to repair and both complete quarters, trunk floor and rear body pan. The original 400 is in storage. The thrill of this car when I was young has slightly worn off and I'm debating on selling it and buying a newer T/A.
Drive a newer T/A around for a week or 2 before you sell this one...... I've had newer ones.....and always come back to the 2nd gens...... The newer ones aren't very comfortable. I'm 6'1" and the windshield header is moreless in my line of vision even with the seat reclined back.....not a very comfortable car to drive. The build quality on the newer ones suck just as bad if not worse than the 2nd gens.... The newer ones suck to work on too...

Here's my 74 Formula, I've owned it for 28 years, running a 455, T 350 and 3.42 gears, converted to Right Hand Drive in the mid 80s.

The lenses are stock full red but because the picture is black and white it looks that way with the brakes on, but I do have 4 rows of red LEDs for the brakes and 2 orange blocks of LEDs for the indicators. I added an extra row since these pictures.
