'75s did not look as good as the earlier models, mainly due to safety regulations that required huge front and rear bumpers. This car is almost fully converted to a '71-73. The rear conversion is complete, including shaving the fuel door from the c-pillar and relocating it to the panel between the tail lights. '72 rear bumper, lower panel, tail lights and center panel are all installed. Up front I have installed a '72 "smiley" bumper and '72 mirror. '75 "bulge" hood is retained for a more aggressive look.

Just let me know man!

Would you be willing to trade for a 2000 Celica?

If it's stock, definitely not. If it's modded, still highly unlikely. Not a FWD fan.

Bump!

Still toying with the idea of selling this so I can justify spending the money on coilovers and wheels for the Lexus.

Nothing crazy, but probably double what it had stock. I want to get it on a dyno, but I'd guess it's making around 150-160hp. Decent for a 1900lb car and makes it a lot of fun around some tight corners. It sticks to the road great when you're smooth with it, but will get loose when you want it to also. I don't feel comfortable sliding it myself (I'm used to heavier cars), but it is definitely capable if that's what someone wanted to do with it. The way it feels when it's sticking through a series of s-curves is amazing though. Probably the funnest car I've owned.
