Here is my baby   1980 L82 Corvette 430Hp 

Here is a dirty pic of her LOL    I just got done converting the front brake calipers, rebuilding the rear calipers and upgrading to cross drilled and slotted rotors

I just picked up an S3. It's basically an upscale Golf R underneath, not that there is anything wrong with that. It's a sweet little motor, and they seriously underate the horsepower. 292HP and AWD for all season fun and it's been tested at 4.4 to 60... I think it's closer to 350HP. All that and it gets over 30MPG and a usable back seat and the pop up LCD for the Nav makes me giggle! It goes like stink but looks like any other of the zillion Audi's here in the North East so it doesn't stand out too much.

ETA - because this is the TIA board...I already checked to see if a 2x4x8 can fit through the fold down rear seat and up on the dashboard; it does with room to spare but moving blanket required :P

 

Just to add this... Not sure why it makes me smile whenever I turn the car on but it does for some reason:

A new Chevy Malibu or Cruze is in my Future. They just called me saying I qualify for lease pull ahead. I would like a new Silverado, but don't have the cash right now to lease one even though they have pretty decent lease deals right now.

07 Tacoma Access Cab V6 4x2 (next one will be 4x4) with the towing package. When I go full size I really like the 00-07 Silverado Quad Cab six foot bed. Main reason to go full size to me is easily towing over 2000lb.

Can anyone explain the appeal of a lowered truck? to me its just stupid as hell.

Thanks for bringing this post to life again man! Sweet looking rides there, i have no idea what i'm looking at on the white car except that it's old, beautiful, and well taken care of

I want to say it is a 66 or 67 charger and a good looking one at that.

first pic is a 00 durango 4x4 slt, 02 ram sport quad 4x2, 12 journet sxt

2nd pic is a 68 dodge coronet 500 convertible, bought at the end of last season

one of 1519 made, with a 318, now with a '68 dated 440 and '68 dated 727.

according to galien govier, only 2 with this combo, white with green, exist.

i have the original engine and trans stored.

still cant believe the condition she's in, with the price i paid

interior perfect. chrome, metal and paint near perfect. probably a 9 out of 10.

and, thanks!

this is a 68 charger, mine, totaled, not by my fault,  many years ago. 383/727

Im sorta a bit of a hoarder :P ive got plenty of vehicles..the ones worth a mention is my 1953 jaguar mk 7 "barn find"..I have gained a 2nd parts car and it is about to get a full resto.

The red beast is my daily driver,a 1994 VR HSV clubsport,build number 587,5.0 v8,5 speed manual,quite a few mods.

The 1974 FJ40 is the beater toy,I built it from a paddock wreck,its powered by a modified ford 250 crossflow 6 cylinder aussie motor..SOA lift,35" micky thompsons,plenty of other mods.

The tow vehicle is a 1970 F100 shortbed,and in an example of when USA meets Australia,it has also had a ford 250 crossflow aussie engine conversion.

The long term project is the yellow panelvan in the background is a 1977 XC ford falcon GS...it had..yes,you guessed right,the ford 250 crossflow engine too...this engine now powers the landcruiser,and I have a 351 cleveland sitting here ready to go in.

 

im currently getting a 3 car garage build to housee the jag and panelvan,so progress will happen shortly
