pistonbroke Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Now thats a kick ass car, if she says its her or the car just tell her how much you will miss her !!!!!!! How much is that dude???? As Gaz said, it's up for 20 large. But as far as I can see, it's all finished. It has the big block 454 V8. Which, if I remember rightly is 7.2ltrs . Mated with the rock solid thm400 box. I've been doing research on classic muscle cars for years and have slowly become infactuated with them. I've then gone out of my way to find some reason not to own one, but I can't. Parts are readily available, and they're dirt cheap to boot. Crate engines are available, and the gearboxes are still used to this day with most specialists able to work on them. Then there's the whole 'paying no road tax', it's like sticking two fingers up at the governments tax banding system and shouting "7.2ltrs, and no road tax you mugs!!". Someone needs to give me a damn good reason not to get one....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry dude, the only place a 57 front bumper belongs is on the garage wall and its going to be gunmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
