Absolute joy to drive, I'm only 20, but of all the cars I've had, none compare to this machine.  It's paking over 500 horse power in the 400 V8 we dropped in and with 5 speed and curb weight to spare it has no problem putting the rubber to the highway

Pros: Everything
Cons: Hard on gas

My 454..
the performance in a big block race engine .
the ladder bar setup makes the car hook the street.
Fun factor - hell ya - beats anything with the clothes on.

Still in primer as it should be.
Wouldn't paint it for the world...

Pros: performance
Cons: expensive

Pros: Everything about it
