When I was a Sr in high School (1982) I owned a 74 L82 automatic. Was a great car and ran very well. PO had chromed the fan, top of the master cylinder and it had a heavy metal flake Silver paint job. When I got it it had around 18K miles on it. I have no clue if it had the original engine it, what the original color was? Back then none of that stuff mattered.
