Thread: Muscle cars ??

Gn

haven't owned one in decades but had a 69' GTO for a little bit. every time i see a nice car somewhere I always ask but not many ever want to to sell theirs. might just have to find one and have it restored. I like them all, Nova's, Chevelles, GTO's, TransAm, Camaro's, Chargers, Monte's, Cutlass, all of them. AMCs are pretty much the only ones that don't do anything for me.

I always liked the 67 Chevelle, 1940's Studebakers, 1957 Mercedes 300SL and 1954 XK120 Jag Roadster....many others but really like these

I know how to paint and do body work though I don't have any personal toys at the moment. I help my dad with his toys and my mom has a Robin's Egg Blue '57 T-Bird (and a matching '03) and my dad has a '70 454 vette painted Jet Stream Blue which is a late model vette color.

While not a hot rod, my wife has recently expressed interest in the early 70's half-cab Broncos so when I find the right one, that will be my next restoration project. They're just hard to find with minimal rust or in close to original form. An old Bronco on 35's would make a great Saturday ride IMO.

BP - I think you are right about the Bronco on 35s. Also I have never seen one that didn't have a rusty floor.

I am into old trucks - currently working on a 1952 Fargo. I have 2 1959 Chev half tons trucks (one 2100 & one 3100) waiting in the wings.
Not muscle cars but fun none the less.

First car 69 chevelle but its been all down hill from there.

My Dad had a 1993 Mustang 5.0gt, spitting image of this one



He got it imported into the UK and it was immense, back then the roads were full of Euro econo boxes so the burbling V8 was really something special. Not a classic by any means but to me it really was something special and kick started my need for speed. The noise and the torque still haunt my dreams lol

Still aint got a V8 lol, but nearly there, pic in my avi is my 335i

Out of the modern era stangs, the Fox body ^^^ has always been my favorite era.

If I had one, it would be a dark blue notchback with a 347 stroker:

I love the 5.0 Mustangs....I have had a ton of them over the years. IMO the best bang for the buck. At one point when I was into drag racing on local cruise nights You would see all the people trailer in there 1/4 mile cars and run 10 second 1/4 miles and then all the 5.0 would drive there car run the same times then drive them home. Just awesome little cars. I really like the notch backs.

not to long ago sold my 77 vette... sad sad day.

current is a 53 for pickup. iroc motor trans and disc brake rear end. 50 Ford coupe dash welded in. 15" torque thrusts. tweed interior custom console and door panels. took me and my dad 5 years to build. it started as a 1 ton grain truck out of a junk yard. bought it for 500$ and 3 weeks ago it was appraised at 22k

if i were rich i'd have a bunch of them. i love most old cars and we live right near this place. a lot of owners gather here every wednesday. Nicky's Cruisin' Diner

1970 Buick Stage I 455, still have ! my pops bought it in '72 with hubcaps and a 4 speed muncie crusher, and no power, very rare model without options...he raced a lot and sittin in my garage right now til I get some moola.

455 Rocket is one strong engine, my buddy has a Cutlass in HS with one of those babys and it was only running on 7 cylinders and it was still a freaking beast!

I am into cars

I have owned 3 fox bodys

Then got into LS engines and have been stuck there ever since. The power ls motors put out is insane.

they were my favorite when I was younger. had a '86 GT, 88 asc maclaren, 90 steeda and 92 saleen, which I wish I had freaking kept at this point.

I have actually been toying with the idea of building one as a tribute to one of my buddies that died way to young from heroin. in '85 he put a 351 cleveland into a '83 GT and that was probably one of the sickest non-turbo or supercharged mustang I've ever been in. needless to say he lost his license soon after that conversion, penndot doesn't fuck around.

I have to agree with this 100%.

The new 5.0 Coyote motor is pretty bad right out of the box, so I'll be curious to see if the street rod market gravitates toward it some over the next decade. I'm sure there are more than a few guys who would rather not be running a Chevy LS3 in their '32 Ford.

Yeah new 5liters are some monsters..... I just prefer pushrods

Sold my 65 elco last year to pay down bills, sad. My buddy put a bad ass ls in his 69 camaro.
