Very cool. When I win the powerball I’m gonna have a 55 pu, pearl white with a flame job, small block v8 and power slide tranny.

Not to go fast mind you... Just so I can be cool.

When I inherit 100 million I am not going to get a Ferrari, or a Porsche 911 or a Lamborghini or a Maseratti.

I am going to find a nice condition 65 Olds 98. Not much will be added. It will be checked over to make sure everything is in tip top order.

I will tell my mechanic to up the horsepower from the standard 370, to around 450 without doing things such as put ad on turbos etc. Just tune it to where it produces the pwere but is still drive to visit Uncle John in Kentucky etc. without worrying about stress on the engine. Maybe change the two four barrels for direct injection. Maybe a little advanced valve timing but nothing extreme.

Tires will be high end Michelins or Pirellis.

Take about a 1995 4 wd one ton pickup and do similar thing to it except stress durability more than flat out speed.
