When I bought my '74 CS in 2015, I received a folder of records from the last 3 of 4 previous owners that was about 2" thick, and the papers were filed randomly. This weekend, I finally took the time to chronologically organize the documents and summarize some of the car's history. One document I thought would be of interest related to the performance upgrade Metric Mechanic did for the 3rd owner in 1993. The 3.3 block with triple Webers in the car was replaced by a new 3.5 block bored and stroked (92 X 92) to over 3.8 liters, and a modified 530 Motronic FI system was installed. Jim Rowe of MM took the complete triple Weber system as 'trade'. He credited the owner with $750 toward the cost of the new engine and a rebuilt 265/6 transmission. The cost for those two combined upgrades was ~$16K. The money that owner spent on one OE restoration and one restomod was staggering. Service and registration documents indicate he drove the car slightly less than 10K miles in 24 years of ownership.
Oh to buy a fully operational triple Weber system today for $750!
