It is actually all stock! Well, almost. After the orginal exhaust system fell off (The second time I drove it) I added Flowmaster 40 series, and a converter test pipe. Stock 1977 L-82's came from the factory with 210hp. With the Flowmasters and the close ratio 4-speed, it is a blast to drive. It is very comfortable to ride in for extended cruises, and this summer I did just that. (1) trip to the 1000 Island region of NY (~170 miles one way), and (1) trip around Seneca Lake wine tasting. That was a fun trip, we spent two nights in a bed and breakfast just outside of Watkins Glen. Too bad, I didn't get to taste much wine! Here is a link to a map of the Finger Lakes. http://www.fingerlakes.net/flp/flpld.html
I don't know what ratio I have, but I can tell you that I am turning just about 3000RPM at 60MPH. 3.70's maybe?

Very nice John I believe that is the orginal color mine was, It is color code 26 isn't it? If it is, only 490 of ththe 77 were made that color.

Thanks for posting pics John. I've been wondering for the longest time what your car looks like with the light blue smoked grey combo. I have smoke grey with silver and I like yours very much. Very :cool: :cool: :cool:
Mines not perfect either... but it's MINE!!!

COOL! Of course I cannot find my Black Book right now, but I thought the number was closer to 5000.

One more!
