Hey again everyone, has been a long time since I put anything up on here, enjoyed a summer driving the manta nd it is now in dry dock for the winter period. As you may have noticed I have gave into temptations of buying a flat front coupe ;D As far as retro goes I think it is hard to beat a Gold Automatic Magnum for real retroyness  I bought it with intentions of arching it but have grown to like it in the day and a half of owning it. Got it going this morning and enjoyed a very breif drive up my yard in it, the box is a bit tempromental and is leaking gear oil but that will be fixed in due course. Intentions are to fix it up and keep it as is but with a bit less altitude if you get me  and enjoy.    Watch this space folks  |

I love these, they have the "hooligan" look about them straight from the factory!

The envy is palpable here! Looks great man, a few ripples but sure we all have those right?  When you get fed up of it, don't be a stranger..... So plans are a drop and then ? |

Nova not retro? It is in my eyes mate Magnum is a beauty, they really don't need much to look good either! |

So if he gets wind of wings or doors i will let you know! Ginge |

My magnum was a similar colour to that when I got it (but much more faded). It's a nice colour in the sunlight in fairness. Mine's now black but Coggers has a nice white Firenza and I've seen some nice blue numbers too. Have you any preference yourself? 70's dusty yellow on black steels....

Thanks for asking, definately keep me in mind if you come across any bits. You have taken the words outa my mouth, dusty yellow on banded steels is the mission but from seeing pallet30s blue firenza I would be tempted with that colour. But banded steels are a must |

Banded steels ? There's only one wheel of choice for the discerning gold coupe owner...   Good luck with it man |

Excuse my ignorance, but what company made that car? I'm from Croatia, and there aren't many Brit-made cars around these parts (except the Minis of course). Whatever it is, it looks bloody great! It's a pocket-sized muscle car for sure! I love it! |
