Thanks,

Welcome Darryl... How many Colts for a SD...heck I might even throw in a couple of Berettas...lol.

They are crated up at the moment, I'm in the process of moving to a new house. When I get to that point, I'll uncrate and take some photos as well.

Wow those are out of my budget when it comes to guns. But I do have some nice guns, love Berettas I have about 9 mostly shotguns, a Sako .338 Lupua topped with a Nightforce.
Send me a photo of one of your Tommy's if you don't mind, we can't own anything like that in Canada....must be some nice. Thanks Dave

WOW! The prices are out of this world, do they really sell for this??
I bought my rough 74 SD for 5K in 1989, it had a frame off resto in 1991.
Thanks,
Darryl

110K resto on the 74 blue car and it has the "unleaded fuel only" gas gauge? I thought that was 75 and later. Nice looking car though.

I believe the red car was once owned by Mike Pergande.
He sold that car back in early 2000 or so.
Unrestored car.

The "unleaded fuel only" is correct for a '74, but the 6K tach is not (should be 8K rpm). Beautiful car nonetheless...

How could the "unleaded fuel" be correct for 74? They didn't use catalytic converters until 1975, which required the unleaded warning.

'74 shouldn't have the unleaded fuel gauge and 6k tach. That $110k car just dropped to a $50k car.

No sir, it is not correct for a 74! Didn't come out until 75 with the advent of catalytic converters.

As usual Bob is correct. I remember busting out a few of those filler neck restrictors in my day.

I could swear my survivor '74 455 T/A had the "unleaded fuel only", but I must be mistaken. Thanks for the (multiple) corrections guys.

Don't beat yourself up over it. I made a mistake once too!

What's that old saying? "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken."
