You can have all of my nopes on this one. The motor would be the only thing of value and even that can’t compare to a built junkyard LS. The car itself should be loaded with explosives and used as a surface to air and back to surface again missile against ISIS. CP for sure.

I’m going to prove that I’m just clueless here but I’ll breakdown my analysis of #3. It’s a Cummins 6BT, as the valve cover is somewhat individualized (6BT engines had individual valve covers per cylinder) and the placement of the round squiggly circle with a line extended from it on the side of the engine serves and…

I have a 6BT and a 6BTA in 2 of my pickups and by far and wide they are the best for power/size ratio and they run forever. The only appeal of a Detroit in a truck is just the pure “cool factor”

Thankfully, my personal fleet of shitboxesturned out to be riddled with safety hazards, allowing me to obtain a slew of informative images without ever having to leave my driveway.

Move a house, turn the world in reverse....ya know, just your average Detroit things. An 8V-71T might be a tight fit in a pickup but it’s probably doable. I’ve seen 6v-53Ts in pickups, particularly square body Chevy/GMC pickups. Very cool when done right.

Very true. But can you blame them? Cross Country wagons are awesome.

Volvo also doesn’t really have an “enthusiasts” market. Someone will always want a Jeep, or a Subaru for instance, but other than crazy gear heads like our fellow Jalops, what kind of cult following do Volvos really have? I’m sure regular people like them but they’d probably prefer newer rides. Once they get past a…

Solid car for the money! Definitely a NP, the exterior looks great and a good set of seat covers and floor mats will help lessen the orange invasion on the inside. If I lived closer, I’d be all over this thing. Turbo manual AWD wagon FTW

I was thinking of posting Detroit video of some sort but I figured I’d get a lot of hate for bringing a diesel to a gasser fight. There’s no sound in the world like a two stroke diesel. That howl could wake the dead!

I like the idea of incorporating rust and bondo into the scheme. That’s racing that I can associate with. Project cars for life!

When other nations hear “America”, this is the first sound that needs to pop into their head.

The next owner of this Aston will one day walk out into his garage and notice a small rust spot over a wheel arch. Later he’ll notice more. He’ll think to himself “how could this possibly happen?”

#iowhat deserves its own star

For the money, I’d rather just pick up a mid 90s Legacy. More common, easier to get parts for, and newer. Cool little car but not for me. CP

Low budget racing at its finest. They probably have $1000 invested at most in that.

The S10 based Blazer should never have happened! We need moar Bonanzas!

Stick and straight 6? Very cool and tempting me to give it a NP.

I like it! The GM 3800 is capable of some pretty glorious hoonage with a supercharger bolted onto the top.

Instead of a match made in heaven, it’s a match made over Aston warranty claims.

Waaay back in my wee years of high school and auto shop we were covering different types of engines in class. The know-it-all genius in the class (whose father owned a “2000 horsepower Camaro”), laughed at me when I identified a “spark plug” on one of the demostration engines as a fuel injector. He then informed the…
