Mines got 3" Flowmasters, with 40 series cans, deffo out the back ! .........................................................
As you can see the cable ties when i was trying to fit/clearance it !

Well ive actually ordered my rims! Old skool ARE's TT 105' 8x15's with BRG's 235-60 front and 245-60 rears, NH assured me its the biggest combo without body/arch mods............. told them i didnt want roll the edges, and absolutely no rubbing going around roundabouts etc,

At the end of the day its hardly a race car laugh
That's cleaner than my kitchen ,clap

Confucius says it can never be to NOISY !!

I adore this cammer powered 67 Fairlane that Steve Strope at Pure Vision built...... the design details on this thing is just cloud9 and thats not even mentioning the noise it makes biggrin

I am biased I know but dosen't that shape knock all other intermediates out of the frame? - (including Chevelle's) - that gentle convex curve to the rear screen, the gentle 'kick-up' to the rear fenders, minimal chrome and that 'egg crate grille.


Rare overlooked car always taken a back seat to the Galaxie, more of a manageable size.

Very nice looking coupe, currently at 11K,
I really like that, A lot ,colour suits it ,It sold at Silverstone's for £22,500 and it's on C&C for £26,995 so not being greedy.

If it's as nice as it looks in the photo's makes all the junk that seems to around lately look expensive.

I like the style of this one:

Retro NASCAR-Inspired 1960 Ford Starliner - The House Of Muscle Ep. 6. I enjoyed the series, which I think is all on YT now.
Did he say 1964 Starliner at the beginning or is my hearing worse than i thought ??,

Had a 1960 RHD Convertible (Twice) took forever to sell because the steering wheel was on the wrong side.

Also had a 60 Wagon ,doesn't get much rarer but for some reason also hung around longer than it should

swapped it for a Impreza Wagon cos i never had one , Over rated ,didn't do a lot for me,should have kept the what i had, nono

One of the few car guys i can actually watch, and most of the time the cars are a bit ragged , and most of the time the proper fun ones have a Manual Box!
Id love to do one more motor, Straight clean body, 15 foot paint, but absolute killer under pinning's

As im not going to find a second car now, (i keep searching but its really a lost cause! ) i may next year pull the RT apart and build my own Road machine
Good move if she's a keeper, You won't need a job the way these Challenger's are appreciating ,like having a weekly wage coming in . yes

Sorry i seem to be hogging the thread but just got in and catching up.

Glad she's ok, you don't need both of you out of action,

Thanks for the thought about the Lambo, in your own time ,don't make a special trip though.

My mate who's just lost his dog said he will have a look on Friday on his way back from Spec-Savers but said

himself he doesn't think he will be much good, need someone who works on them regularly with all the diagnostic gear.

Ref Jag, Still getting over the Spanish Inquisition from yesterday, Polished all the cam covers and bright work under the bonnet and repaired

the throttle linkage ( part 2.4 - part XJ 6 ) best i could , so apart from having another go at fitting the chrome surround on

the windscreen it's ready to go, not doing anything else they can make me a offer and fit the axle themselves, that's part of

of buying classic cars is playing with them.. smokin

Had a good look around it at the NEC Classic Car Show maybe 2 or 3 years ago, It is to die for,

Ticks every box and some, With the price of a doner vehicle add restoration costs by a leading Vette specialist

to get it any where near as good as this i don't think it's expensive if compared to Mustangs and the like,

C2 money but must admit far sexier shape, manual, factory side pipes,Rally wheels , Nassau blue ,don't get

any better than that, Moneys cheap at the moment if there was anything worth a remortgage for this has to be it, scratchchin

Very nice.....especially with the M22 and the blue interior, and out of a known collection as well, so gotta be a good one..........and no reserve as well, so will sell on the day, and its right at the end of the last day as well, and after all the Gene Hertland '32 Ford collection has been across the block (which is billed as the star part of the auction week) so could get 'lost' in the auction.

Go for it........ biggrin


I suspect, you'll need at least a $100k though to get it....

There's another 71 455 HO with M-22 currently for sale in USA at a dealer, and that's $99,900.
