I had a 74 Coupe with an L48 Auto. I changed all that into a 400 Smallblock with about 400 hp and a Super T10 4 speed. Easy fix for low hp. Also, I drove that car to it's limit (about 150 mph) and I was never uncomfortable with it's handleing. Maybe not as good as a new one, but outstanding for it's time. ... View more

I had one of them with the 2.8 Carb engine and a 4 speed trans. I can safely say that out of about 150 various cars I have owned over the years, it was definatly the worst. And to make matters worse, I traded a 76 Formula Firebird 400, 4 speed for it. The only excuse I have that it was in 1980 and I was young and very stupid. ... View more

It's a great series of movies. Paul Walker is sorely mssed and will always be. As with any of these types of movies, there will always be scenes, cars, and people bordering on the unbelieveable. It's just entertainment after all. What always amuses me is how the young people lach onto these shows and believe these movies are real. Perhaps, after they live a lot of life and see how everything works for real, they will see all this as I do-entertainment. And God bless Paul Walker and Vin Diesal. ... View more

If I could get$140000 for that car, I would tear the guy's arm off while he was handing me the money. You should sell it now while you have the chance, those prices can't last. Just my opinion. You could then take 10% of the money and buy a Corvette that would exceed the performance and invest the rest. ... View more

I had a Datsun 510 and a Fiat X19 very early in my driving career. Lets say 1978 to 1980. Both very good learning experiences. I have never had another import in the last 40 + years. A lesson learned the hard wy is a lesson leaned well. I've had around 25 Firebirds and Camaros, a couple of Corvettes, a couple of Mustangs, a good number of Caprices and Impalas(mostly Police packages) around 20 S-10s plus a few more models I fail to recall. There are a few good reasons why I never had any more imports and you who have owned them know just what they are. I'll stick to American thanks. ... View more

I also have a 99 SS/SLP  6 Speed Convertible. Bought it about 10 years ago with about 20000 miles on it. Always been kept inside and never Winter driven. I added long tube Hooker headers, K&N air filter, tubular strut brace, rear control arms and Panhard rod. Then some subframe connectors, a custom sound system, oxygen sensor and skip shift eliminators and a custom tune. I have to say that it is one of the most fantastic cars I have ever owned. ...

I worked as a flat rate, front end, Mechanic while the Tempos and K Cars were current. And don't even think about accusing me of overselling or ripping anyone off, because that was something I never did. You didn't need to anyway, there was plenty of legitimate work to be made off these cars anyway. Tempos-Ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, CV axles, Rack and Pinions. Adding adjustment kits to the rear suspension that they didn't have from the factory, just to try and keep tires on them. 4 Wheel Alignments. I'm sure I could go on. The K Cars-Just about everything I listed for the Tempos- wheel bearings, strut tower bearings, struts, similar rear adjustment kits to get the rear alignment right. Those cars were only a few that come to mind. It was a great time to be a front end mechanic. And then those assholes had to fly planes into the twin towers. They killed countless innocent people and just about destroyed the economy of Canada and the US. Then all the work stopped. ... View more

The rustang, I couldn't find a place to throw up fast enough. Are there really people out there who consider something like this worth the work to build it? I recall seeing a Trans Am with an El Camino rear grafted to it and also with a Jag independent differential set up and a 403 Olds engine. It was up on tickets for a draw back in the nineties here in NL. I don't know where it went, but it was about as hideous a combo as that stang. Maybe even worse. There is no accounting for taste. ...

The Daytona is my dream car. In my opinion, the most beautiful car ever made, and it will do damn near 200 mph. What else is there?????????? ... View more

Think you are wrong on both counts. Research the 55s, they had built 454s. As for the exhaust note on the TA, it was from a 400 Pontiac with a hot cam, and I know because I had 20 of them. And don't forget the shift kit where it lays about 20 feet of rubber going into second gear. ... View more

Yes, that was a fantastic car movie. The acting wasn't so bad either with Martin Sheen, Nick Nolte and Vic Morrow. Another fantastic car movie, that's very often overlooked, is King of the Mountain about racing Mullholland Drive. ... View more

There were several 55s used in the 2 movies. Built by Richard Ruth, 454 4 speeds and capable of 10 second quarters. That would make for a very fast street car for that time in history. ... View more

I would nominate the Maxim X, Fazer and the FZ 750 from the 80s. Over 100 Horsepower from the 5 valve engines. I owned one of each and they could eat 1100s of the day for dinner. Also, the 85 V Max, 145 horsepower, unheard of in those days. And I had one of those as well. You best hang on tight when the V Boost kicked in. I know that there are new bikes that eclipse their performance, but back in the good old days, they were exceptional. ... View more
