Damn, a local area person on here! I'm near Genito Road and Hull Street Road area. Thanks for the color code. I added it to my sig.(at least I think I did lol) I had used Hex code color #8D410D It wasn't too far off.

Shot last year. Just under 19,000 miles on it.

Medium Red metallic (code 74) 1974 sport coupe Z purchased a few days before graduating HS. Purchased from Egizo Chevrolet Naperville, IL.

Looks like you still got it. I bet you where the man running around high school with a new camaro. We had old cars built out of the junk yard. lol

Drove my moms Ford station wagon or my dads ‘68 Chevy pickup until the last few days of school. Back then it was possible to save up and buy a car. Not like buying a new Z (when you could) and needing 50k+.

You averaged 380 miles a year since you bought it! How did you keep the mileage so low?

I bought the Golden Brown car with about 18,000 on it. The Medium red Metallic car was totaled in August of 1976 a couple months after I sold it the guy stuffed it under a garbage truck.

Took my first video of it today. A bit fast idle speed I know, but any slower than 900 - 950 rpms and it would cut off when driving it. Safe to say the shop that put the electric choke Holley on (while I wait for my 780 carb to be rebuilt) didn't know how to dial it in properly. Isn't the proper idle speed like 750 rpms or something?

Idle for a manual transmission is 800 rpm. Automatic in drive 750 rpm. Your car sounds good!
