From what I understand, around 1970, Smog, Insurance and other things stopped the Muscle Car era. From Wikipedia: The popularity of muscle cars declined through the early 1970s, due to factors including the Clean Air Act, the fuel crisis and increasing insurance costs. The 1973 oil crisis resulted in rationing of fuel and higher prices. Muscle cars quickly became unaffordable and impractical for many people. In addition, the automobile insurance industry levied surcharges on all high-powered models. Before the Clean Air Act of 1970, a majority of muscle cars came optioned with high-compression engines (some engines were as high as 11:1), which required high-octane fuel. Before the oil embargo, 100-octane fuel was common. However, following the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970, octane ratings were lowered to 91 (due in part to the removal of lead). Manufacturers reduced the compression ratio of engines, resulting in reduced performance. Simultaneously, efforts to combat air pollution focused Detroit's attention on emissions control rather than increased power outputs.
Very nice survivor, not my favorite body style but definitely love the hood. I think that Fords body and style engineers went a shade too far with the extremely long front clip, but what do I know anyway getting back to the reason we are here. Would absolutely be a great acquisition to any true car guy’s collection.

Another beauty Jay!
Reminds me of Eleanor... although Eleanor may have been a different year (71 or 72)
Eleanor is a '67...
Are you thinking of the remake? So I just had another look and GI60S (1974) Eleanor was a 71 or 72 (but not a Mach 1)
Eleanor was a yellow 73.
It was Eleanor from gone in sixty’s seconds,,,

Looks like a survivor for the most part.

Why change it from an automatic to a stick?
I'd be interested if it had an automatic.
Being older, I just can't do a stick anymore.
I believe the paint is original but is that yes or no or maybe?
351cleveland is not big block.
