it had Muscular Dystrophy though...151 c.u. inline "IRON DUKE" motor.

Nice contact paper wood paneling. We used to call that "still in the crate".

Gonna sport this late 60's concept car as an avatar for a few weeks. Pretty cool looking sled.

Pops Racer had a 66 Skylark ragtop when I was a kid. No GS hotrod stuff unfortunately, but it did have a "Wildcat" V-8 (around 300 cubes if I remember correctly) and it was the coolest car on the block :yes:

Pretty Damn far away from a muscle car, but I've always liked the ugliness of the '72 Plymouth Fury Coupe.

not a muscle car, nor a 70's, but my first car was a 1980 280zx just like this one and it was damn fast on the road ...

LOL...One of my cousins had a Monza, but it looked more like this:

Chevrolet%20Monza%201975-1980%20(1978-1980%20V8%205.0L%20Cabriolet%20notchback%20coupe)%20(01)%20[BA1].jpg


His'n had a four-speed and would really haul, if they weren't nobody in it.

opel was gm but it was way smaller than a vet ..it was a little shorter than the 280z

Hmmm. I'll have to read about that. I was always amazed how Fords and GMs looked so much different in their Euro counterparts. One of those could be my next weird daily driver when I get sick of the Mustang.

Sez here the Pontiac Banshee was the inspiration: Opel GT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
