supraGZaerotop Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 well i finally had her started up on the weekend, must say took ages to get it started with it being standing for so long, the crap that came out of it made me dizzy lol, runs on leaded fuel, had it running for over an hour, temperture is good, coolent is good, oil, volts, etc etc, idles lovely and sounds the muts nuts. does need a good looking at tho i think, autobox seems ok, brakes are super sharp. one thing it seems to be doing is as i pull off in D and come to stop it does like to cut out abit. any info on old V8s anyone would be great.

carl0s Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 its sold already Did you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Did you buy it? No, but it is my kind of impulse buy, just look at my aviator, I have to say the US V8 market gives you so much more for you money, the upgrade/modification scene is sooo cheap compared to the Jap Turbo market Just look at the prices here, I made really big changes to my Camaro for peanuts http://www.summitracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'd rather have a Hemi 'cuda http://www.cooless.com/car/71hemicuda.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'd rather have a Hemi 'cuda http://www.cooless.com/car/71hemicuda.jpg Original matching numbers 'cuda's are as rare as hens teeth and go for big money, but I do agree they are lovely. I personally love the early ford and chevy pickups. Next project maybe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
