Bought a new 76 MC with a 400 small block. Drove it for 10 years and 175,000 miles or more. Wish I had bought two of them instead of just the one. Mine was silver, A/C, power windows, bench seat, on the column TH350, 2.93 positraction, no vinyl top, cloth seats. Cloth seats were still in great shape at the very end. During the first two years I was paying the car payments with winnings from bracket racing. 15.90 @ 89 mph with slicks. Only change was 1974 style true dual exhaust and Transgo shift kit. Car would do awesome Rockford style u-turns, both forward and backwards. That was murder on the belted radials though. Never got even one ticket while driving the car, even with all the badski stuff I did. Ran it up to 90 mph on a limited access county road before I had put ten miles on it. I'd buy another duplicate in a heartbeat.
