1976 450 SLC
New to this world.
Hello, I am the thrilled and slightly terrified owner of a 1976 450 SLC. Everything seems to be in good shape when it runs, no concerning sounds, it drives straight, no rattles or odd vibrating. I have little to none experience when it comes to cars however, what should I have checked out/ replaces first?
