[Bill Pritchard]

By 1976 we had stopped driving the 73Z daily with about 32000 miles on it. Pulled the intake and heads off of it, replaced by a set of angle plug heads, a 70 Z28 cam & solid lifters, an Edelbrock Torker intake, a 780 Holley, and Hooker headers. Also put a B&M shift kit in the T400 trans. In late 1977 had it repainted the original Midnight blue metallic color but with blue pearl flames replacing the white stripes, and added a 70 Z28 spoiler. Also added American 200S wheels. It stayed like this until I sold it to a friend of mine in August 2000. He still owns it.
