69 Nova. Original 153 4cyl car. Had I had the original engine, I would have restored it. Instead, I stuck a blueprinted 350 HP 396 in it. Turbo 350 with 3.73 gears. That was a fast, reliable car.
74 Plymouth duster ... was a slant six car but had been v8 swapped with a 1978 360 from an aspen.
The car was just mean and consistently beat my dads 69 340 cuda on 1/4.
I wish I could get it back. .... that particular car not just any duster[ /QUOTE]
Bought brand new 68 form S fastback w/ the 383 roadrunner engine, not many made, it was almost uncontrollable!! 69 cornet RT-440 4 speed, 66 hemi belvedere-changed over to a 67 belvedere ( class purposes back then), another 66 satellite.
My 81 Diesel Rabbit: You couldnt speed in that car on the fwy as it refused to go faster than 65 mph (55 w/AC on) and it got about 45MPG, suprisingly roomy inside "the box" as the doors were about 3 inches thick. Most all my other cars were driven into the ground for no resale value.What's the one car you've had that you wish you still had?
And go...
