Anyone got any classic cars- project or restored, muscle cars, trucks, etc? I hope to get a fastback Mustang, Camaro SS, Chevelle SS, GTO, or something of the sort to rebuild in the near future. Let's see some pics and hear some specs of yall's cars/trucks!

Great looking car! I'm not looking to buy one right now. I'm getting hitched in a week so I can't afford (time or money) to build me a car but I will as soon as I get the chance! Keep coming with the pics and specs!

What size engine does that Impala have? I know that the 348 was a popular engine in 1961. I have owned four Impalas through the years and have always had good luck with them.

The 70 Charger is a fun "Sunday Driver" 440 / 4 barell automatic with A/C. The CUDA is a screamer. It will blow that Charger in the weeds. Last time through the 1/4 mile traps I ran a 13.292

What do you have in the CUDA? That is extremely fast for a CUDA. a 70 HEMI CUDA would only turn low 13's.

I've got a 86 Monte carlo SS w/T-Tops all original in great mechanical shape, Just had it repainted 3 weeks ago (Black w/ clear coat) going back with the SS emblems in Orange, no fender stripes though :cheers: . I have owned before 68 442, 69 Chevelle SS and two Z28 camaros ( 79 & 86) but my favorite all time and most wanted vehicle is a "70 442 W-30 with a 455, 4-speed & a W-25 rear end :cool:

Tires have come a long way. In 1970 that Hemi Cuda was probably spinning the tires most of the way down the track. One of my customers had a Cuda { tag FastFish } with a 396 CI bored and stroked 340. VERY fast.
