I had a White one with Black bucket seats, 350 4bbl, and 3spd w/o console. I'd be all over this one if back issues didn't make it too painful to drive a manual transmission.

Boy that sound familiar. I had to sell a real nice 69 Vette convertible 350 horse 350 4 speed a few years back, also from back problems. It was getting difficult to lift my left foot to use the clutch, and sometimes resulted in very sloppy shifts.

Nice 'Vette. I pulled my back very badly one day while out hiking. Had to hike a mile back to the car with back spasms every few minutes...and I happened to be driving my 280zx 5spd. That was a long trip home.

Actually, the scooped hood was part of the 73-75 GT option. So says one of my dealer brochures.

Okay, just my luck that 74 would be different, and just be optional. It was a 75 brochure that said it came with the GT option.

I really like the gt cars. I actually have never looked into it, but could you have ordered a 400 or a 455 in one of them?
