Ok. This one has a 416hp/359 tq. 302. I think it will be a fun crusier mild bracket car. When I built the engine, I was shooting for 400 hp, so when it dyno'ed 416, I didn't even bother trying to spend more time on the dyno. But I should ask, what are you wanting to race me with now?

70 1/2 Camaro. Got it fresh outta HS ( 1980 ), played with it for a few years, and found I couldn't afford to keep it/finish it while going to school. And in one of those moments that when older you realize dont happen: i figured no biggie to dump it off as "i can always get another"............

1974 AMC Hornet Sportabout station wagon. 304 v8 engine, bought it in 1992 with only 40,000 original miles and no rust. Did 0-60 in 8 seconds flat with a factory 2 barrel and aftermarket dual exhaust. Sold it in 1997, with the troubles getting parts as of 1998 as a reason. This was one fun car. No one believed me that it was so fast until they saw it in action!! It was actually faster than the early 80's 5.0 Mustangs up to 60.

Hmmmm ,
I'd have to say it was the 73' 340 Duster, auto, buckets center console... well wait maybe the 73' 340 4 speed Duster or no the 73' 340 Cuda, 4 speed , buckets. Yeah I'm going to have to stick with the Cuda..

Ranger,
My uncle has a 70 1/2 Z28 , silver , black stripes , only got 50k on the odometer. Sad thing is the car is sitting in his garage (in KS) and has been for about 18 years. It's just covered with dust.. what a shame.

wrecked my 04 GTO almost a year ago, and still miss that thing almost everyday. i bought something more 'practical' to replace it, but we all know how much fun 'practical' is.

i also miss my last pick-up. 89 F250 XLT Lariat 2WD Std Cab Long Bed. It had the 351W and the ZF 5-speed. there was nothing overly special about the truck, but it was in GREAT shape and ran flawlessly. i sold it to pay for the wife's engagement ring. and yes, i'd much rather have the wife, but.......

Mike
