Maybe this one. ‘70 Monte Carlo, the previous owner had blown up the small block 400, so I had a crate 350 in it. PS, PDB, TH350 auto, buckets with console, and this cool-ass fiber optic light monitor system that people used to tell me had to be added aftermarket because they didn’t come like that from the factory.…
Does this tire make my ass look fat?
I’ve seen it happen with #9. Back when I was a freshman in college, an upperclassman who lived down the hall let his roommate borrow his first-gen RX-7. Sure enough, he got a call later that night from the roommate, who had rolled it. I remember that the owner was a HUGE scary-looking buzz-cut who had been in the…
i’m going to respectfully disagree. yeah, people do stupid shit to their cars... but that’s in ALL groups, including muscle car culture, whatever that is. in the 80’s,when I was in high school, my friends and I all thought we had muscle cars. we bought late ‘60s-early ‘70s two-door base-model Chevelles and Skylarks…
For some reason, every car in this segment irks the shit out of me except the Soul, which I actually think I’d enjoy. I don’t even know why, as I’ve never driven any of them. So I gotta ask, since you mention the Soul briefly in the article... how does it stack up against the xB? Does it come close on…
1959 Impala.
Is that recent? I had a set of 1965 MD tags for my ‘65 Impala when we lived in Maryland, and the law said that you could run the car around with the vintage tags as long as you kept the current tag in the vehicle, but when we moved to PA (over 10 years ago) I didn’t see any provisions for that...
legitimate bus hoonage:
Yes, Goose. I know “ the bird.”
It’s BOOBIES, not BOOBS. Get with the program, DeMuro.
I’m seeing elements of early Celica and early Prelude, and from certain angles I'm even thinking the greenhouse has a little Pinto in it. Awesome indeed.
Personally, I prefer her explanation of independent rear suspension and limited-slip differentials. But that’s just me.
Torch, you are just not right. And I mean that in the best possible way.
What the HELL. Who knew?
I heard similar stories... guys who built V8 ones and after a couple weeks of driving the doors didn’t close right anymore. Apparently subframe connectors are a must in this application.
That’s pretty sweet.
I like the little bastard, I really do. I’ve always thought about a project Vega with either a SBC (easy with Monza parts but done to death) or some sort of interesting V6/5-speed. And the fact that it’s the wagon is a bonus. But six grand? For a Vega that needs work? Not a fucking chance.
Watching that sniveling little prick back GM’s yellow ‘69 Z/28 display vehicle into a sign because he had no clue how to drive stick was a high point for me. #lovetohatepete
Hoping the awkward interface between the C-pillar/roofline/Coke-bottle bulge has been revised. It looks different from these pics, but I guess you have to see one in person and walk around the back of it to know for sure...
