THIS CHERRY LOOKIN' 73 COMES COURTESY OF PAT LANDIS . IT'S GOT 62,000 ORIGINAL MILES , LUXURY DECOR GROUP ,A 351W SPORTIN' A MOTORSPORT INTAKE AND 650 DOUBLE PUMPER , AND DUAL EXHAUST .

HERE'S WHAT PAT HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT : " I BOUGHT IT AS A PARTS DONOR FOR MY 73 , A SPORTSROOF , BUT I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO TEAR IT UP ! "

WELL , THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'D BE ABLE TO TEAR UP ANY CAR THAT IZ THAT SWEET LOOKIN' !

KEVIN , FROM THE YAHOO TORINO CLUB , SENT A BUNCH OF PICS OF HIS CURRENT AND PAST RIDES .

THE 73 ON TOP , IZ HIS CURRENT CAR ; IT CAME FROM TEXAS WITH 108K ON THE CLOCK , AND " IS PAINFULLY STOCK AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL ".

HE PICKED IT UP FOR A MEASLY $1600 ! HE'S CURRENTLY WORKING ON A FIBERGLASS FRONT BUMPER FOR IT ! ANY 73 GUYZ OUT THERE INTERESTED ?

FUTURE PLANS CALL FOR A FRAME OFF BUILD UP , INCLUDING A DIET ( for the car ) AND A GOOD CHUCK OF ADDED HORSEPOWER !

THE 72 RANCHERO WUZ HIS FIRST MID-SIZE CAR . IT HAD A 400M , C6 , AND "2.70 SOMETHING GEARS ".

AND I'M NOT SUPOSED TO GIVE HIM ANY CRAP ABOUT THE WHITE SIDEWALLS (YEEEEEEKKKK ) , SO I WON'T  :) .

HE TRADED THE RANCHERO FOR THE 74 SPORT . WHEN HE WUZ DONE WITH IT , IT HAD A 351C , C6 , AND 3.50 GEARS . THE MOTOR WUZ LOADED WITH GO-FAST GOODIES , INCLUDING , A HOLLEY 750 , MALLORY DUAL POINT DIST. , CRANE BLAZER CAM , RHOADES LIFTERS , AND HOOKER SUPER COMPS . HE SAYS IT WUZ GOOD FOR LOW 14's , AND I BELIEVE IT .

THE TWO - TONE PAINT WUZ DONE WITH CADILLAC "FIREMIST " COLORS .
