I fought the law and the law won, i lost my girl and i lost my fun, i fought the law and the law won.....

Were you wanting a kinda retro-look? The only thing retro on these is scoops and emblems! They needed change, I guess the Holden was all they could come up with. They needed to get some of the old in there, maybe 68'-70'. "I will be merciful.........and quick!"

I mean if you want any domestic muscle gotta go with new z06, but if ur talking in the cheaper range, a nice Yenko 68, hell even a 68 SS camaro would be spiffy. My fav of all time is a stinray vett. i wanted one so bad but my dad woudlnt let me have it, they had a large problem with leaking oil in those years so he figured while i was in highscool it woudl be too much work. my sis had a 66 mustang GT, that was a hot ride.

I'm just not a big GM fan, period. Would rather have a Viper. And, yes, I've been in plenty Vettes, a 67' 427/425HP is a neck-breaker! Late model Vettes are "best bang for the buck," but have you heard about the service charges? "I will be merciful.........and quick!"

I was a modder back then (did all my own work too) and didn't know it... 1981 Red Z-28 (loaded - air, cruise, power window, t-roof, mag wheels...) Last year for the 350 V8 Borg-Warner T4 4-speed manual Edlebrock Performer Manifold Edlebrock 650 double-pumper carb Hi-Power ignition system Hurst Line Lock. Rancho GT-3 suspension all around (poly bushings too!) Some kind of hi-flow exhaust...I don't remember what I did there 240-watt stereo (2 x 120 watt amplifiers, one under each seat) Scheel micro adjust full contour racing seat Even though the car eventually ended up leaking every fluid known to man (including gasoline, brake fluid, freon...) I still got a wicked trade-in as a down payment for my brand-new '85 Mustang GT. The car was frikken' fast, and the Rancho stuff kept it flat even going around a corner at 30 mph - amazing since the car must have weighed close to 4000lbs (I nearly lost a toe to some windshield pillar trim - it was 1/8" steel coated in plastic and I dropped it 'cause it was so heavy ) The two Ford salesmen that took it for a test drive came back white and shaking. It has a sound that made bike couriers scurry to the sidewalk, kinda like a T-Rex. Lord, I miss that car!!
