[trikeman]

I am a huge muscle car fan, and a mopar man, but respect all others. mostly i like the gtx and roadrunners hemi or 440 commando.

anybody else fans of the muscle cars?, and what kind?

[Jonathan]

I love muscle cars. My favorite car of all time is a 68 Z28 RS Camaro or a 68 RS SS 396 Camaro. I've been thinking about getting a 68, but I'm probably just gonna go for a newer Trans AM for the drivability factor and I love T-Tops.

[Billy Golightly]

Oh yeah, I love muscle Cars. My favorite is the Mustang Shelby GT500 :-)

[lisnup65]

1968 AMC AMX is my car of choice. Hey I am from the AMC town so its a given.http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclecars/amc-amx/images/amc-amx-1968b.jpg

[250R4Ever]

I own a 67' Camaro 327 i'm in the process of restoring it now.

Those are my second favorits...I had a chance to buy an AWESOME 70' a couple years ago. Canary yellow, had the 401 in it from the factory. Had a 1200watt stereo in the trunk, extremely built motor (I was told near 500hp) and everything else was good on it, except the transmission which was in the front seat. The bank owned it at the time, but the brother to the guy who had the lein against it got it...and sold it for $3,000...with the transmission fixed. If I would have been within arms distance of that man when he told me that (It was over the phone) I would have severely disfigured him. It was the sweetest car I have ever seen, and I'm still depressed about the dude selling it for $3 grand till this day. Heres some pictures.

[lisnup65]

Here is a pic of my old 1969 Jav that was sold the day the picture was taken. It placed a silver award at this AMO show. Yes that is a blower sticking out of the hood. The car was a 401 with a 11PSI supercharger. It ran through a shiftmatic auto trans to a Dana60 rear end with 410 gearing. The car was made to scoot down the 1/4 and that was about it. 11.09 was the best I could get it to do. My buddy that drags for a living got late 10's. That was on street tire. Car pulled in over $12ggggggggs

[kimmer250r]

Yeah, I'm into the muscle cars too. I own an original 1968 Z-28 camaro, that is in need of restoration. I plan on putting over $25k into it when I restore it. It should be awsome when it is done.

[Trikeaholic]

ford man here. But I thought the first Z-28 was 1969? like the Boss 302 for Trans-Am racing? I have a 1968 Mustang that I am slowly restoring. Got over $7000 in it already and its still a pile of parts.

[quote="trikeman"]
anybody else fans of the muscle cars? Andrew replys who isnt? 8)

[kimmer250r]

The first Z-28 was in 67 but are rare. The 68 is pretty rare too with only a little over 7000 produced.

[HemiChallenger71]

I'm not a muscle car fan, and I don't like mopar's...

[HemiChallenger71]

Here's some of my favorite, The 1965 AFX A-990 Plymouth picture that I have isnt allowed to be posted here...

[NOS_350X]

[trikeman]

so there arent too many mopar fans here?!

[Coty]

I LOVE MUSCLE CARS, MY PARENTS USED TO HAVE ALL KIND OF CUTLASS'S THAT WAS BUILT TO THE MAX, MY FAVORITE WAS A

1973 CUTLASS HURST EDITION, w/455, his and her shifter, swivel bucket seats, the motor was pulled and built for drag racing, it would run a low 7 in a 1/8 mile, and they sold it in 1990 for a measly $1500 that will piss you especially when you see the beauty of that car and how much it is worth today....oh yeah i forgot to mention, it was on CAR & DRIVER..

here is a link to a page with the identical car.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/trombinoscar/oldsmobile/om7302.html

[HemiChallenger71]

I know a guy with a '68 shelby 428 KR500, 30,000 documented miles and all the papers on it, dash signed by Carrol Shelby and Tim Allen. I believe it is an automatic but unsure, yellow with white accents and stickers and tan interior. Here's another one of my favortie cars, although not a muscle car it was around the same time. I want to get one also..

Hell Yeah ;)

I'd still have my International Travelall w/ the 392 V8...LOL
For Pre-80's muscle cars, I would have to go with the Mopars. Remember the DUKES OF HAZZARD!!!!! :-P

[Kilborg]

Hell yeah, I absolutely love muscle cars. More into pony cars and corvettes admittedly, but anything from the late 60's and early 70's era is cool. The cars that survived (camaro, mustang, vette, etc) are now high tech rockets and finally getting faster then the old ones with less cubes..which is cool anyway.

Somethin real cool though...I got a fulltime job this summer doing wells. My dad told me about a freind at work thats been bugging him to buy his 68-70 (not sure what year yet) camaro supersport...my dad knows I absolutely love f-bodies (i had a 82 for awile and hes had a couple old ones) and made the mistake of telling me about it, so now im putting every nickle dime and cent i can get toward it. It runs a built v8 something or another, supposdly runs mid 11's all motor. I can't wait to check it out and hopefully buy it.

[Honda300ex]

I love muscle cars.. You guy can laugh all you want but i really like 74-78 MUSTANG 2'S!!!!!!!!! we have 3... We got a 76 Cobra 2 that we are restoring my dad bought it new!!! $5000 have all the factory paper work.
This aint mine but it use to look like it.. Mine is Primerd and has dorky wheel and no motor for now.. 347 Stroker SOON!!!! hehehe

[ironheadxlh77]

in the camaro white book the z28 didnt come out til 1969 the 67 and the 68 camaros where either rs or ss which rs = rally sport or ss= super sport no z28 until 69 look in the camaro white book

[kyle]

my all time fav muscle car is a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge with a 400 ram air. just like the car in the movie dazed and confused.

[250R4Ever]

thats right iron head, i have a 67 Camaro SS with a 327, i want to put in a 396 though.[/quote]

[200x Basket]

here is the big block in my 67 chevy II

[Jonathan]

in the camaro white book the z28 didnt come out til 1969
Your book is wrong man. Z28 WAS an option in 67 and 68, it just wasn't real popular in 68 and there were only about 70 (I don't know the exact number but I know it's really small) made in 67.

1969 the 67 and the 68 camaros where either rs or ss which rs = rally sport or ss= super sport no z28 until 69 look in the camaro white book
SS was a performance option, Z28 was a performance option that included a 302 (yes a 302 chevy) so the camaro could compete in the Trans Am racing series, RS was an apperance option that included headlight covers and probably some other stuff. You could have an RS only car, an SS only car, a Z28 only car, an RS Z28 car, an RS SS car, or a base car without SS, RS, or Z28.

[FullBore]

Shelby AC Cobra for me please.

[250R4Ever]

the chevy 302 is a bad trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, i've been looking for one for years and have not came across any, they are extremely rare, but one of the fastest and quickest motors i've every seen.

[Andrew]

250R forever,a chevy 302 is a 283 block with a 327 crank!,or it could be the other way around,but i know its a 283 block with a 327 crank or a 327 block with a 283 crank -D

Looks like that Fox body mustang will make a good drag car. I see a sn95 model mustang in the background too....

[200x Basket]

the new project has a 347 stroker and other goodies.

[250R4Ever]

i don't know what size the block or crank is, i just know that i seen them lift the front tires off the ground at a local dragstrip.

[Honda300ex]

Thats what i want to buy to put in my Cobra but we are Broke... :evil: :x

[200x Basket]

well if you are on a tight build a nice 351W. just re-ring it, buy some gt40-p heads and a edelbrock performer rpm intake with a holley 750 double pumper. it will make about 325 HP and 400 ftlbs of torque. that will make a mustang II fly. you may have fitment problems though

[RideRed03]

I kinda have a muscle car!......1976 Ford Capri 2.8.........just sprayed mettalic blue.....engine rebuild......leavin it mostly stock and beautiful.....

those cars are bad ass! ALL OF EM!

-Josh

[Honda300ex]

200x basket.. a 351w is i think 5 inches wider than a stock 302 and the is like a 1" of cleance on each side of the 302 that was in it... I have a 351w in my F-100 that i am gettin ready to pull again. I mgiht just set ti down in there and see what it does.. hehe

[200x Basket]

a 351W is about 1" wider and has about 1" taller deck. the 351M is a big block and most likely what you have in your truck

[J.D.]

What's the difference between a 351M, and a 351W?

[200x Basket]

What's the difference between a 351M, and a 351W?

everything

[Honda300ex]

What's the difference between a 351M, and a 351W?

The 351m is a big block, and teh 351w is a small block.
200xbasket. I know my truck has a 351w in it. For sure, i just rebuild it a few months ago.. The 351w has got to be more than 1" wider than a 302.... I might just build the 302 stock back up wiht some 289 heads and a Intake and carb and some headers and go from there

[200x Basket]

here are a few more of my 86. i am installing the fuel cell and the ignition system right now 8)

[200x Basket]

[Honda300ex]

Your not put it in right now.. you where typing... Nice car..

[Andrew]

better convert it to 5lug hubs for dragracing.....

[J.D.]

better convert it to 5lug hubs for dragracing.....

If you look you can see at least 5 on the rear, but looks like it;s possibly 6 lug???

[Honda300ex]

Looks like 4 too me.. ;) :?

[200x Basket]

i have never seen a 4 lug car break a lug so i am not worried about that. however i have a 89 lincoln lsc with 11.35" rear disc brakes that i will be swaping on the car soon. since they are 5 lug i will be going with 33 spline stange axles and a spool. the front will also get the bigger disc brakes and 5 lug conversion from the lsc. i have not yet decided on the wheels but i am leaning torward pro stars like on my race car. now if i could just sell all of these trikes and get back to my real passion :twisted:

[Honda300ex]

My cobra is 4 lug.. what are you gonna do with teh Wheels?
Also.. is trailprotrailpro email real? it is a @aol.com so i thought that im would work to you but it wont

[Nlarkin]

Me and Trikeman know this guy that has a truck that has a 350 in it and i think it would take any thing that it went up against. The guy tht owns it calls it "old blue". I think it is a chevy with step sides. You probly would die if you seen it.

[atcpunk107]

Hey my parents have an 88 lincoln lsc and they rock.Theis is black with 16 inch wheels headears glasspack exhaust system and it has the 5.0 h/o motor that kicks @$$.The only thing is is that the speedo only goes up to 80 and we keep pegging it so were not sure how fast it is but it does squeel them tires an awfule lot in first D or OD

[trikeman]

hey nathan do i sense some sarcasm?? :D

[MR Durfison]

I have a 86 ford escort..it will woop all yalls old as muscle cars

[rippn250R]

I own a 79 trans am, maybe its not a true muscle car but its still nice. I like the 68 or 69 corvette stingrays.

Good ole movies-smokey and the bandit and corvette summer!!!

[REDMAN225]

i got a 65 mustang conv. completely restored. taking it to syracuse ny this july. i'll post pics soon.

[PLJ.]

It seems as though everyone is a fan. Tons of interest in Mopar, Ford and Chevy but not much in Buick's, Pontiac or Olds. I have a 1970 Olds Cutlass S that I have had since I was 15 years old. When I was a senior in High School my father, myself and a bodyman friend rebuilt the car almost completely. We did it up right. W-31 decals, stencil kit, white racing stripes, red laquer paint with clear 12 coats, color matched rally wheels, new bumpers, etc. It is a factory 4 speed car, with a small block 350 rocket motor. Eldelbrock intake, crane cam, thrush headers, 2.5" exhaust, Holly dual feed double pumper. Car runs real strong for a small block. The sad thing is that with work, wife, kids, dog, house and trikes I never get a chance to drive the thing. In the last ten years, I have probably only driven it 200 or so miles. O well, at least I was fortunate enough to be able to keep it over all these years. I will post a pick of soon. Thanks.

[Fast416ex]

I love muscle cars too and I can't wait to get my uncles 66 GTO hardtop. Hopefully I can pick it up this fall :)

[Russell 350X]

1969 Dodge Chargers kick arse!!! If I ever got my hands on one I would drop a 454 Hemi in her and cry!!But I may be able to get a 73 Plymoth Barracuda sometime, only has a 340 :-D

['86X]

here's one

[trikeman]

mopar made the hemi 426, chevy made the Ls6 454, so they are not the same thing, unless chevy had the hemispherical heads in the 454, but i dont think so.

[JayP]

I am definitly a muscle car fan too. Here are my toys from a couple years ago. I sold the 68 2 summers ago and the 95 last summer.

68 SS with 350, 4 sp and 3.73 gears.

95 Z-28 had 350 MPI with 18psi ProCharger, headers, MSD, and 3.73 gears.

[Honda300ex]

Heres my project Cobra 2.. i love mustang IIs.. Its getting there..
