 sadly, not with my own money.  But I do get to be its custodian for a while. ;D Its not a real SS, but it is a 350.  Quite astoundingly there are some odd contrasts in the spec. Example, it has one of these:  But there is something missing you'd expect to see here...  Yup, it has air conditioning but no brake servo... Its in really nice shape, I'm not sure if Virginia counts as a dry state or indeed how long the car spent there (it has a 2007-08 Virginia inspection sticker on it)  Amazingly, this mint muscle car is a "project vehicle" and this is the "before" shots.  My chum who effectively gave me a wheelbarrow full of money to buy this car has plans for it. Impressive plans. I shall be project managing at least part of the build.  I'm just trying to decide if I need to brush up my skills and model myself on Chip Foose or do I grow a beard and shout at everyone.  This is going to be blasted cool. No, scratch that, it already is... I have these....   |

Amazingly, this mint muscle car is a "project vehicle" and this is the "before" shots. I wish my project cars looked that good.  I forsee a trip to the loft and fitment of some wheels found there. Job done. Roffle etc. |

Kev, its got non-power drums on it. They won't hold it in a burnout LOL. They also ain't my tyres. Although they won't be on there long.

And you found time to post on here, how? ;D Looks cool, any pro-touring project on this body shape is always going to remind me of www.bigredcamaro.com, which is no bad thing. Your selfless acts of guidance should be a shining beacon to all Mr K ;D |

Thats what my mate says, he builds a lot of classic saloon race cars proffesionally, its cheaper to start with a good one to cut up than start with a cheap one and have to repair it. |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

All-time favourite muscle car profile. The first model kit I ever built, aged about 7 or 8, was a '69 Camaro Z/28. Always had a big thing for them.  |

Kev, its got non-power drums on it. They won't hold it in a burnout LOL. My old Firechicken had a stock mexican 350 and non assisted drums. It would do burn outs easily. Try harder. ;D |

My Mustang had non-power drums as well, they'd stop it OK though, needs man-sized application of foot. Left-foot braking helped I spose. Would burnout too. Anyway, it looks great! Even like the wheels, steering wheel not so much. Add petrol, add grin, roll! |

Jaw dropping stuff indeed! I'd be looking forward to dropping those keys down on the bar in very conspicuous fashion if I were you. (Aside from the obvious burnouts that is) |

Did someone say "videos"? What it sounds like: Don't worry, it was warmed up. This is how we roll: no burnouts. |
