I bought one of these last 455 76's in 1980 for 900$, looked like new, but man, was thing a DOG! It wouldnt get out of its own way!!hahah! My 71 455 HO's (all three of em) would stomp the piss out of this one...drove that slug around for like 4 months (casue it had A/C) sold it for 1200$...
i have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old GM Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
1976 was a nice year. They got the turn signals out of the grille, which looked nicer. I had a friend who had a silver '76, but only the 400/auto combination.
What a gorgeous ride you got there, texasrodz... makes me wish that I didn't have to get rid of my '81 Firebird. Mine was black on black, with a Rocket 350 Olds that I dropped in there after I blew up the 305 Chevy. As I said I had to get rid of her 8 years ago because of the body rotting out, something we are famous for up here in Canada. Another friend of mine had a 76 TA, silver on blue velour int. with a 400 years back. Thanks for the great memories! Cherish that baby of yours, my friend!
Gee Doug, I just happen to be from Texas.....hence the handle Texasrodz....you really are brilliant...give yourself another pat on the back for that astute observation. Why don't you stop playing around with the computer before your mom gets mad.
@Lawyerdude I would love to see you say that to one of us in person. Figures, a FUCKING WORTHLESS LAWYER MAKING ANOTHER DUMBASS COMMENT CAUSE HES SUCH A CUNT!! You know the difference between a lawyer and a bucket of SHIT?? The bucket you worthless fuck!
@Lawyerdude What duchebag Doug doesnt tell you is his worthless fucking brother Greg is a flaming cock sucking homosexual!! Hey doug, go back to sucking cock like youre good at bitch!!!!
