Where Are The Car Guys?

Lets see more of that GT.

Other's cars

I think all these cars are really cool, but my cars are just for driving. Since I'm too decrepit for a small sports car I've had the urge lately for a late 60's, early 70's muscle car.

My junk...

'58 Chevy truck with a Nova front sub, 454, TH400, Mopar 8 3/4 Sure Grip

'69 Plymouth GTX with 440 4 Barrel, Torqueflite and 4.10's
It was a Car Craft magazine feature car in May 2010

One I sold a couple years ago...

'37 Packard 115C Touring Sedan

Here are pictures and videos of my dad's 1961 Ford Galaxie. It has the following specs:

1961 Ford Galaxie
352 V8 406 headers 340cfm Holley carb
C6 automatic with shift kit
2.47 9 inch rear
power steering
power drum brakes
am radio
clock

We had a '63 Galaxy that had:

232 mileage maker engine
no power steering or brakes
no radio, no clock, no A/C

As you can guess this was not a high performance car with a lot of options.

I think I have posted on this forum before, but it never hurts to repeat yourself.

1970 Mustang Mach 1, originally an R-code 428CJ, AT, AC, PS, PB. I bought it with a 390 and promptly installed a bored and stroked 427 sideoiler (454 cid). It has a solid lifter Crower cam (.609/.626 lift, 284/290 advertised duration, 246/250 at .050 lift), Offenhauser port-o-sonic, 850 Barry Grant, LeMans rods, 12.5:1 TRW stroker pistons, C-6 with full-manual reverse pattern valve body, 10-inch converter, and a nodular iron 4.11 9-inch rear end. 45,000 original miles.

OK, I gotta ask a question here.....ummmm some of those cars are not cheap....what the heck do you do for a living? You either make a lot of money or are in debt up to your eye balls. LOL

I remember how special that truck is.

Nice collection guys. Stock market hit me hard lately and I am retiring soon, so unfortunately my toys had to go to boost retirement fund. Sadly sold 29 Model A Ford Roadster, 61 T-bird and a 76 MGB roadster.
Thanks for the great pics!

 

[jframe]

It ain't much, but it's PAID FOR! It's also back to daily driver status, at least for now, but I enjoy it. 2005 Mustang GT with Hurst shifter and Pypes exhaust with no mufflers, just resonators. I've posted it a few times before. It's been a really good car, but I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a 1965 Buick Riviera, if I could find someone wanting to do such a deal. I'll probably keep it awhile, until something of interest comes along that I might trade it for.

Here are a couple of pics of my 1965 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe Convertible. She is a good 10 footer, you get too close and you can see how bad somebody did on the paint job.

'05 Lancer Evolution...

 

[Black_Sheep]

I remember how special that truck is.

Priceless, for those that missed the story behind the truck when I previously posted it I will give the condensed version. It belonged to my younger brother Chris who passed away due to Cystic Fibrosis almost 3 years ago. He and I built it along with a lot of help from mutual friends. We had tons of fun during the build phase and even more fun attending car shows and cruise nights once it was roadworthy. Here's my bro Chris...

The Supra is one car that you need to drive to really appreciate what it has to offer...

67mm turbo
725 RWHP

 

[Knightrider03m]

My old 96 Chevy SS/Z28

Only thing that I hated about it was the fact that it had an auto transmission

 

[nomobux]

[LAKOTA169]

[rwsmith]

And shoot too

OK, I gotta ask a question here.....ummmm some of those cars are not cheap....what the heck do you do for a living? You either make a lot of money or are in debt up to your eye balls. LOL

...and also buy guns and shoot them. Hmmmm I must be doing something wrong.

 

[Duster340]

Man! Some very cool rides there folks. Car guy here from IL. This is the project my daughters (11 yo twins and already little gear heads ) and I are currently working on. It's a 72 Duster 340 that was an old drag car. It was pretty much gutted for the strip...slow but sure, we got her wired, back together and running. Just a little ole 340 10.5:1 KB pistons, Forged Crank & Rods, 727 w Reverse Manual Valvebody, 3200 stall and 8 3/4 rear etc...nothing fancy but it gets down the road pretty good. Like most projects, we still have a lot we want/need to do....

[AirCommando]
