I think....I think that I love this paint job.

Am I the only one who sees a strange resemblance to a certain mid-90’s case involving a famous sports star, murder, and an angry family?

Yep, kind of (exactly) what was going through my head.

But the problem is that you could never drive anywhere. Even though you’ve got the 959 for reliability, you can’t put miles on it. Not saying I wouldn’t take the two, I’d just have to have an old ‘Yota pickup in the driveway for actually getting to and from....well, anywhere.

Driving my (long since sold, thank god) 1984 (sch)Wagoneer with a bunch of college buddies from New Mexico to California.

That’s terrible.

Oh yes. Came here just to say this one thing. I’m deep in the response list, many agreeing, some dissenting (?!).

You’ve done it this time, grave robber. I’ve never had to think so deeply about hitting that CP button, but it had to happen. Just a few too many dollars, but damn I love that car. And I’m not a Ford man. Replace Bart with Ford, and you’ll know exactly what’s going through my head.

It’s because of these Camry’s.

I love me some SBC’s, but the 305 is just a boat anchor. No need to transplant one into something like a kit car any day.

Funny you’re just writing up on this. Last weekend I was talking to a friend who works at a shop that has a couple of chassis dynos, they’ve had 2 new Vettes lose their bottom end at the shop, each time when the customer lost it, the data was pulled up from the computer showing that the cars were at around 4k rpm when
