Pretty Cool Restoration projects. Derby other than the caddies, not so much. I would still take a 1973 and older gm driver of any body style over a 1974 and newer of any body style due to the damb ugly shock bumpers. Other than derby guys there isnt much desire for restored 1971-1976 gms because they are just so damb ugly. lol. I love the crome bumpers on the the non shock bumper cars. Crome will take you home!!! ;D

Yep you are right. And 1973 might as well not be a shock bumper because of the single layer crome bumper. But other than the Shock bumpers and slight design change body wise in 1975, for driver wise they dont look very different. I just prefer the 1971-1973 and older non shock cars for drivers.

BECAUSE YOU WILL DIE IN IT, THATS WHY. LEAFING A 65 IS LIKE LIPSTICK ON A COW...... ITS STILL A COW......
