Those pants were very stylish then. Big bells were better. You have to find some :) I'll look in my dad's closet....Joe

Nice! I’d do it exactly like that and then get pants and shirts like that for you and the previous owner and take some pics! ��

You're going to need an Edelbrock Tarantula intake to match the shirt... Paul is awesome! Those Polyglas GTs look great on that car. Did he have air shocks?

I'm looking for another TM1 (tarantula) intake right now. I had one lined up but the guy has been slow and getting back to me on it. Needless to say if he fails to deliver I'll find one elsewhere! I ran one on the little day 2 Nova and it was a great intake for a small block.

Paul told me he raised the front end up 3" and remembers the back rims and tires were wider and they were mounted on 8.5" Ansen's. I can only assume he had air shocks on the back. Here's something funny he just shared in a text just a few minutes ago.

I traded the car in 1974 to McDavid Pontiac in Fort Worth when my wife told me she wasn't going through another pregnancy in Texas without air conditioning. She drove the car to work everyday, and he wound up trading in the Z on a 74 Grand Prix. Sad Day he said!

Here's another funny one. In 92 I built this solid lifter 500hp Z/28. Daytona yellow (stripes weren't done right) and I drove it to work every day. My winter beater is seen just off to the right...and get this, it WAS a 74 Grand Prix. What are the odds?

Paul and I are 20 years and 2500 miles apart, but there's only 2 degrees of separation!

The stories just keep getting better and better, I think it was meant to be! I loved the Day 2 Nova.... I would've loved to have it but I already had the 67 and the parts hoard to go with it.

Meant to be......yes, spot on. This one's a keeper!

Yes Indeed. Planning for this one to be the keeper. :burnout:

Same exact look I was shooting for and great to know it was originally that way back in the day. I was just showing this to my wife and commented on the t-shirt being Edelbrock with some classic decals in the quarter window, and my wife said...love the pants too! Looks like Goodyear Polyglass with L60's on the rear?

Hey Graeme, got our Day 2 plaid pants on also ! (Sep 1970) :biggthumpup:

I don't think I would go with a Tarantula manifold. It will kill any torque that the 302 has left. I had a '68 Z from '71 to '73. I made this mistake. Even with 4:10 gears it was terrible to drive in stop and go traffic. I ended up putting an Offenhauser dual port 360 on the car to get better driveability.
