Any musclecar fans in here?

[Petebuilder]

when I'm not building Petes , I'm into my other passion: hot cars! I have a 2001 Trans Am , an '89 Camaro RS with a LS1 and a six speed tranny , and my "mini rig" : a '95 Chev Silverado dually. When you're not on the road , do you have a toy of your own waiting in the garage? Just curious about this.

i've got a 69 camaro,With a 383 stroker motor in it.
We ran it on the strip for afew years was alot of fun,But now I'm going to put it back on the street.Still have the orginal motor that came in it.
Also have a 65 chevy pick-up although not a muscle car,But it will be when I put the stroker in it

Here's some pics of my toys:



The convertible is in the process of having a '99 LS1 5.7 V8 and a T56 six speed manual transmission swapped into it. I have spent enough on it to have bought the Trans Am and had some change left over. The LS1 is not stock , either.

WOW,
We have a 2000 WS6, that's my wife's baby. and two projects, a 71 Nova Pro Street, and a 66 Le Mans convertible 455/4Sp. Great question

I don't have one, but if I could have my dream car, it would be a 1968 Camaro. I love those cars! The 69's are great too, but I like the body style of the 67 & 69 a little better. As I understand it, the 69 has better handling, suspension, etc. I had a boss that I worked for that had a 68 that he put a newer 350 engine in. It was the royal blue with the white stripes, that thing was beautiful! Talk about not having your dream, right now I drive a '99 Saturn. It does get about 40 mpg on the highway though.

I dont have one, but if I did it would be a 1968 Dodge Charger with the 440 sixpack. It has been my favorit car since I was a kid. Maybe the Dukes of Hazard had somthing to do with that!!

Used to have an '69 Impala SS with a 427-Man that thing would Scoot.

I have had my share in my younger days. My favorite I had was a 1966 GTO. But for a dream car it would be a tossup.

1970 Hemi Cuda




Or a 1970 Dodge Daytona

That a sweet Datona, I've got a book on those it said after they come out it couldn't be beat so they band the wing cars from the taladaga. " spelling not correct"

Yea that is how they first came out was for racinng at talladega. And according to the rules they also have to be a production car. So they made a limited amount for the public. But your correct nothing could beat them at the time. Specially if they had the 426 in them which the racing ones did.

Didn't the Taladaga Fords have the 428 cobra jets or am I mistaken in this?
There pretty nice cars to seem a little heavey on the front though, not as well balanced as the Charger.

I have no clue on that. Not really a ford fan at all. Maybe ardmore would know. He is the racing expert around here.

Used to have a 2 dr 65 Impala SS, canary yellow, 327, wish I still had it. Wish I had the $ for a 64 Impala. Dream car is a 2 dr 59 Impala, even though it's not a muscle car.

First car I ever owned was a 1956 Pink Cadilac. Payed $50 for it in the bar, drove it for three months befoe it calved on the side of the road, hitch hicked away from it.

Dream car?

1969 ZL-1 Camero.

For those that do not know, ZL-1 was the big block aluminum engine.

They where built for Super Stock NHRA racing. Super Stock A as a matter of fact.

Of course, the blocks where weak so they pretty much where all blown up and replaced with the iron block L-88's. I dont know how many where built.

There is only one numbers matching ZL-1 Camero left in the world.

There are two 1969 ZL-1 Corvetts. Only two where built and both are in private collections.

I am pretty sure this info is correct, if you have other info let me know.

Before the truck, we had a 87 Monte Carlo SS with a 406sb and spray. Ran hi-6s in the 1/8th. Was a ton of fun on the street. Only got beat once out of many, many races and that was because we puked a driveshaft. Sold it to get started in this and now that we're half way on our feet, we're gonna build something else. We beat all of the Mustangs in our town with the SS, so we're thinkin about building a Mustang coupe and beating them at their own game. Wouldn't that be sweet! lol

Also had a 94 T/A Ram-Air clone, Teal Green 6 speed, was alot of fun top speed and in the curves, but didnt stand a chance against the SS in straight line which is what we live for. Aint nothing like yankin the front wheels off the ground :wink:
