I see all kinds and sorts of cool bits and pieces under that sleeper.....

The muscle truck has a 6.0 LS in it. YouTube search Roadkill muscle truck to see it in action. It's pretty badass.

Rusty that shops look cool. How about more pics?

That shop is "work". Don't really have any pictures of it. I try my best to keep it clean and somewhat organized.

 

[Leadeye]

Good pics, thanks!

Did you see the stripped trashed vette/Lingenfelter episode?

 

[Leadeye]

Junk Mopars....

Bah!

 

[RustyHornet]

Did you see the stripped trashed vette/Lingenfelter episode?

Yes. I'd like to get my hands on a c4 Vette and make it a track car. Serious potential there.

 

[RustyHornet]

Bah!

Actually because of this Roadrunner, I've become a fan. I always kind of liked them, but wouldn't dare say it out loud . Attended my first Mopar Nats in Columbus 2 summers ago searching for parts for this car, it was work I didn't have any fun at all . I had such a terrible time that I had to go back last summer. I think I'll have to go back this year....

Yeah the VetteCart was awesome!

I have only been in two cars that would pull the wheels,and both were Mopars

The Charger is my first and only resto, people told me I'd be searching for parts and paying dearly when I found them.

6 liter LS. Turbo400. Gear Vendors. Ford 9" 5.13 gears. Caltracs. I think it ran like a 7.53 in the 1/8th on slicks and the bottle.

Are you hiring? Just don't ask me work on any Mopar.... (Wife had a 95 Jeep GC with the 318 )

The 1974 Chevy muscle Truck makes me think on my old 1975 C10 Custom Deluxe. It had a 350, Hooker headers, true duels with glass packs on it. When my wife and I were dating her dad came out and asked me to turn off the truck because it would raddle the house. it was even primer gray with a red bed.

My wifes father said turn it off,it is wrecking the TV.I had put on Belden Copper wires,and he could tell I was coming a 1/4 mile away.

I never posted any pictures of the current beasts. This first one is my dads, although I'm responsible for most of the wheel time. 1970 Lemans 350 2bbl 3 speed on the floor with bench seat and 4 wheel manual drums. Most fun car I've ever driven. Been in our family now since fall 2013 and has been on the road since summer 2014. Have put 10,000 miles on it since then. Made a daring trip with it 2 weeks after we got the original 126,000 mile at the time engine running and left for Wichita Kansas 6 hours after we put a new clutch in it. Made the whole round trip and only had the power steering belt come loose. Would drive this car anywhere. Have a 400 on a stand waiting to be rebuilt for it, the 350 is way past dog tired.





This is car is proof that they are meant to be driven. There are no excuses for not driving them. Showed up to a Pontiac show in Lousiville last summer and was getting the cars picture taken after registration, I overheard one guy say "you gotta be kidding me right?" I asked him how far he had to trailer his car to the show.

My 69 was that color green

My hot rod. 1972 Grand Prix model J. 95% stock. Original paint. 400ci th400 factory Safe-T-Track 3:08 rear. Power steering, AC, power windows, AM/FM with 8-track, tilt... Way too many options for me, but it's badass and I like original. Just a hair under 80,000 miles now. I'm the second owner, it's never leaving me. Ever.





It needs work, but is a pretty solid car. I'll keep it mostly stock, will do a few upgrades to help with drivability. This will be my around town cruiser as well as long road trip car. Planning to take it cross country and where ever else I feel like. It's got a 26 gal fuel tank, should get me a little over 300 miles per tank.
