I just saw it on Top Gear as well.

Give me a Camaro or Mustang not a mix breed.

I'm finally warming up to the new mustangs. That Saleen was ..... Camaro needs a major redesign, been too long with that body. I don't get very excited about new cars....

Mouse, saw a 95-96 Impala SS driving around today. Was the dark cherry color. Brings a smile to my face to see them on the road.

I'm going down to Alabama in about six weeks to bring back my grandpa's 66 C10.

I'm getting excited but the upgrades are gonna have to go on hold until my wife gets another job. She was down sized out of a job about three weeks ago.

Driving it back?

 

[long coat]

Lol.

What year long coat? I posted a pic of a white '73 455 SD up thread a ways.

Not sure what year. Looked like a Bandit year.
I thought it said 454, maybe it said 455.

Driving it back?

Dont think so. My Brother in law has owned it for 25 years. He is a mechanic but I'm not sure of the trucks drivetrain.

I think it still have the stock rear with 3:73 gears and a turbo 350 trans. It is a gas drinker so I'm gonna trailer it with my company truck.

Maybe I can drive it to the Fort to let you take a look at it when I get her to Indiana.

We are trying to figure out a rear tire for this car. Came in with Keystone Klassics wrapped in BFG radial TAs, they are going back on it as they are in good shape. The rears aren't going to last long and we are looking for something that'll hook up better while being steetable.

Cooper Cobras 295/50/15.

That is a plus for the 60's era Mopars. You could get some meat under them.

Made a house call this morning to put some new wheels on this 1940 Studebaker. Owner had the wheels powdercoated and bought new trim rings and caps. Really cool old survivor car. I really enjoy driving three on the tree.

They just don't make them like they used to....good stuff Rusty.

I had a chance to buy that car before the current owner... Didn't have the money, wish I would have made more effort to work out a deal with the owner... Pretty sweet ride.

Nice car.

If you like making house calls, I have valve cover gaskets to put on my 5.0.

Did you post pics of that? Have a family friend with 3 fox body's. I've toyed with the idea of one for awhile as a summer daily. Just have a hard time getting over that one problem they circled at the factory....

I have seen that truck.

 

[RustyHornet]

I'll take one of these just like this, only I want it slammed with the biggest gas engine available in a Chevy and a 6 speed manual.

Mouse, I got a burger for ya! That should make up for all the **** I've given you.
