I've got a soft spot for all first gens, but this one, with the straight axle, the color, the factory trim, and the Cragars, is particularly nice. Love it. Got any higher res pics of the exterior?

thanks for the complements guys, here are a few more pics, the last one is vintage, circa 1976. Also notice the dash plaques from the 1976 street Machine Nationals, 1977 and 1978 Car Craft Nationals.

I fabbed and put an axle out of a 65 Chevy Van under the front. The pan is a 7qt Moroso made for the Chevy II with stock suspention, I never changed it after putting the straight axle under it.
