Buying a 1974 Aston Martin V8

In 1974, the Aston Martin V8 Series 3 was being produced. The Series 3 uses four twin-choke (two-barrel) Weber carburetors instead of the Bosch fuel injection system, in order to pass the new California emission standards, which were made stricter at the time. A taller hood scoop was used to fit the different shape of the engine, after the modifications were made. The performances varied slightly compared to the previous versions and the Series 3 was said to produce 310 hp and reach 60 mph in 5.7 with the manual transmission. The contemporary design of the AM V8 is very recognizable, with the four-inline headlights (later designs used single headlights) and a large front air intake.
