Here' an old song I like;)
I have one I’d like to sell.
It would be nice for someone into restoring cars.
Oh the stories I have...
As the daughter of an auto body man and the wife of a car guy, that last question “Will it ever run?” made me laugh.
I don’t now, but I expect to have one six weeks after my new Boflex arrives!!
I don’t but I see alot of them driving around the area. Really a blast from the past. Thank all of you that do have one.
Muscle car? Technically, no. White 1990 Nissan 300zx. Custom white leather interior...runs, but needs fuel injectors, mufflers, AC repair. So actually, no not running.
Best zx body style imo.
My old car is a bit gay, but I still like it!
‘72 340 4-speed Dodge Demon, an original. only about 1400 of em in that configuration were made. It was used as a drug runner in the late 70s. Owner was caught and went to prison. Car was titled to his mother. I heard about it about fourth hand and finally ran all the leads down. Sure enough, it was in a barn at his mother’s place and I bought it from her. I’ve kept it in my shop since buying it. It’s not running....at least, not yet.
I have a neighbor with a 72 vet. He seems to have issues with one thing. Which spark plug wire to attach to which plug. Either that or he set the timing wrong as hell. He is an IT guy so can do no wrong. I prefer my car problems go to another neighbor who is an ASE certified master technician and a DJ. Jags keep him fed and fat. (if you buy a Jag, buy 2... One to drive and one for the shop)
I have a 1940 Plymouth pickup. Tube
frame, 4 link rear, 440 cid magnum.
500 hp.
Also, a 1979 Jeep CJ7. 360 cid,
with 400 hp. Though I don’t think
you could classify this as a muscle
car, it sure is fun to drive.
Would you consider a ‘68 Mustang, 289 w/ cam, posi, and 2 bbl, a muscle car? I wouldn’t either. Runs great, but it’s a long story.
My first car....1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 383, 4bbl, 4 speed. A rusted out piece of junk that I bought for $300, and sold as junk for $25 a few months later.
Next was a 1969 Ford Rustang, 351C automatic, another rusted out POS that I had hauled off as junk.
Third was a 1970 Pontiac FireChicken Formula. 400, 4bbl, 4-speed, a third beat down hunk of junk that was hauled off as scrap after a few months.
The trouble with those three cars was that there simply was not the parts available to fix them. Not like today with all of the NEW sheet metal stampings and NEW trim parts.
I’ve owned a few over the years.
Thinking about getting a Restomod, maybe next year.
Now that I’m old I like AC and all the modern conveniences.
My older Brother still has a 32 Ford 5 window Deuce Coupe he bought and fixed up when he was 17. He just turned 71 and it sits in his Garage buried under a bunch of boxes.
If he falls over before I do... LOL
Why would anyone need that power?
we called georges 67 olds 442 ‘the beast’
got airborne over the railroad tracks in a 72 raodrunner
I’m just finishing up my 1970 Roadrunner. 383 727 matching numbers. Sublime green. Its so shiny you can see it from space.
I had a Cousin who had accumulated around 7 or 8 classic cars from the 60s era. They were stored at his parent’s abandoned house. I think he made a small attempt to keep them up but very little.
Around 5 years ago, I was talking to a guy who restored 64/65 Mustangs. I mentioned to him that my Cousin had 4 or them. He phoned Charles but was told they were not for sale.
Charles died a year or so back. I have no idea who inherited them, but they are all still sitting there rusting away.
I drove a customized 77 VW bus with a Porsche engine in it LOL
The Mystery Machine LOL
No, not now. But this thread brought back many a memory.
I had a couple in the past. The one I loved the most was my 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400. She was military button green, four on the floor, 400 V8, four barrel carb, air shocks, very powerful muscle car.
I had a tricked out 65 Malibu as well.
Muscle cars were fun. But now I am 61 years old, not that great at night driving, all I want is a Tesla.
