Really sad to see it go but it went to an older guy that collects. So it's being taken care of.

 

Check out what I got today!!!1970 Chevrolet impala 350 it was my great great aunt and uncles they bought brand new. My great uncle is moving and gave it to me as we'll as a VW Rabbit !

 

I had a 1968 caprice with a 427 /th400 . Car had hideaway headlights , loved that car . I wish my scanner would play nice with my laptop so I could post a pic .
I had fun with that car it was a sleeper !

 

All righty then... thanks to all of you guys jumping in here with me, I was beginning to feel all alone in this "modern" world. Well, I thought I'd try to get some pictures up, but my camera and my computer aren't on speaking terms right now. So, I'll cheat a little bit and try to get my point across... This is NOT my car, but this is the same model that I am starting with. (I wish mine looked this good!)

 

1965 Plymouth barracuda had it for 11years(Im 29 now)




Here is close up of the motor. Small block Chrysler 2 450cfm mechanical secondaries on a 1974 tunnel ram with a factory Hurst 4spd



my other project. 1969 coronet 440 9passenger wagon

 

...and although this is a Comet (same basic car, with slightly different adornments and badges)... this the concept that I'm shooting for!


And, I found this link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...5146&showall=1 to a build-up of a Chevy II gasser, or a "street freak" as he liked to call it. It is a llooonnngggg read, but it's got lots of good quality pictures of the Jeep Cherokee front axle install I was contemplating! I'll try to get some good pictures of my car and post 'em as progress happens!

 

I'm big into AMCs and ramblers...I'll post a few of my collection.

78 Concord AMX full resto in progress

My 2 Gremlins, I-6 restored, and v-8 street sleeper
78 Pacer factory V-8
Some of our muscle! 69 amx and 71 Javelin
One of our true classics and the oldest we have: 47 Nash Ambassador

I can keep posting more of the collection if anyone is interested, don't wanna feel like i'm gloating or stealing the thread! I just have a severe love for the old cars and a problem with saying no!!

 

My 1965 GT Mustang. It's got a 289 and 4 speed. Everything but the rear end, tranny, and body/paint has been rebuilt by my dad and I.

 

That is one heck of an AMC collection! They are saweeet

 

Thanks! I like being the black sheep at all the shows! And I get my love for Jeeps honestly! I can throw up some more of the collection if anyone is interested

 

Sorry for the hi-jacking of your thread. I can't wait to see some pics rolling in of your progress. That Comet is badazz but I think I liked the Nova setup better.

 

Yes !

 

That is probably my second most desired vehicle there, first though would be a 69 Boss 429, but I missed my chance at that when I was in high school when someone we knew sold BOTH of the ones he owned for about $8000 each. Oh how sad to be a poor high school kid when you find a deal like that

I do want to see how the Falcon turns out. A friend in high school had one we called Super Falcon, it was a 2dr about that same model, but was full tubbed with a 428 in it. Another guy near us had an MG Midget with a 340/dual quad tunnel ram, could barely see around the intake to drive it lol. I really miss the old school hot rodding these days too.

 

Our 76 Pacer, in Wayne's World Blue
71 Javelin and 73 Javelin AMX
69 Rebel Wagon, the Rat Rod type build, next is getting coils cut and dropped 3"

 

I worked at a machine shop with a guy who had a 73 javelin 360 4speed . He built a 401 for it that SOB would run . Used to **** the locals off getting beat by a kelvinator .
Mikes car had the same hood as the one in the pic and a rear spoiler .
