How many of you have "fun" cars/trucks such as classic/muscle cars? If so, what type?

My first car was a 75 Chevy Nova that I built a 350 for. I'm looking for either a 54ish Ford F-100 pickup or an early 60s Falcon Ranchero. I think I could make one of those cool.

sweet! have you taken it down the track? or is it a cruiser?

It is mainly just a cruiser, I take it to alot of shows, but I am a gearhead and had to take it one time. I had a problem with hooking up but when I did managed to pull a mid 11.

1970 Chevelle.....I just wish it was the 454 SS LS6. Someday though.

The Chevelle is one of my all time favorites. That LS6 is a hot runner, it is even better if you bore it out to a 502. My favorite chevelle is probably the 69, but I like the turn signal covers and closed headlights of the 1970. Are you running the 396?

11s..nice! my car has turned in a best of mid 12s, but now that we did some work to get it running better, and now we cant get traction...the 60s are in the 17.8-1.85 range...about a tenth from before...time for slicks!

Is it N/A or do you have something pushing air?

NA, 340ci, 40 over, running low compression pistons (it was all i could afford when the motor went together 10 years ago)..i ran those numbers with DOTs, mufflers, and running on 87 octane.

that isn't bad at all. My father had a rediculous chevelle that was running 7's but that is alot of work.

Isn't it odd how fickle us car guys are? We get a nice base, build the hell out of it, have big dreams for it, and as it gets real good we get bored and get a new toy.

well, one of the problems with my older toy, is that PA is so tough on emissions...it runs cleaner than my truck, but because my truck has a cat, and my car doesnt, my car is illegal....

I'm a PA man myself, but luckily for me I live in Kiski township and do not have emissions.

I have a '66 Pontiac 2+2 convertible. 421 four-barrel, 4-speed. Great car but too bad it has been in upstate NY all of its life. Battling the rust is a constant problem.
