Looks very nice! I have a sibling to your car in Teal as well VIN #
GHN5UE357262G. Mine is a driven restoration project that I recently returned to
the road after DPO had layed up for 10 years. Needs plenty but will get it. I'm
holding out for some diamond in the rough awards this season.
I would not refer to your car (or mine) as a 74 1/2 though. The 74 1/2 was a
rubber bumpered car retaining the dual SUs, early rack and pinion steering and
square motor mounts. When ordering parts you'd do best to refer to it as a 73
and remove all confusion.
Not sure about the ride height of the 74 1/2. I did own one about 5 years and
20 other cars ago but don't recall.
Safety Fast,
David Deutsch
