This Car Is Related To The One Above because...

Other famous Monte Carlo screen cars include the Tokyo Drift hero car, which was one of the limited reasons to give the film a screening.



From Wiki:

"According to John Pearley Huffman of edmunds.com, Dennis McCarthy and the crew responsible for the construction of all the cars used in Tokyo Drift, built two out of nine stunt Monte Carlo's with 560-horsepower 509 engine block, the other with "700-hp, 572-cubic-inch Bill Mitchell "Hardcore" crate engine". The last seven cars used small V8 engine blocks or had no engine them in at all. The two stunt cars used feed Hooker headers and Flowmaster mufflers that were disguised to look like Hardcore 632 valve covers.

The production team used 11 of these, in total. A stock-car pro-grade suspension was a must. The engine was a Bill Mitchell 632ci big block with a Holley 4-barrel carb on a World Products intake manifold.

Other engine upgrades include March Pulley Systems brackets and pulleys, a NOS system, a Jaz fuel cell, Earl's Performance Fittings steel braided line and anodized fittings, Hooker headers, a Flowmaster dual chamber exhaust, a Be Cool radiator, an Edelbrock water pump, Global West front and rear tubular control arms and weight jacks, Year One coil springs, Wilwood disc brakes, Speedway Engineering swaybars, Wenco 1350 extreme performance driveshaft, Quick Ratio steering box with IROC Camaro internals, Matt Sweeney reinforced fram and rollcage, Moser 12-bolt with Moser Spool 4.88 gears, and KYB shocks.

However both cars used a Richmond T-10 four-speed manual transmissions, Wenco driveshafts and Moser-built 12-bolt rear-ends "running 4.88:1 gears in a spool differential". The chassis uses Global West front control arms and coil springs, "KYB shocks, Speedway Engineering anti-sway bars, Global West weight jack plates and quick-ratio steering boxes".

Additionally, the two Monte Carlo's were build with Wilwood disc breaks, situated behind Cragar 397 15-inch wheels. The tires are Goodyear specials, 27 inches tall and 8 inches wide in the front, 27 x 10 inches in the rear. The interior was constructed with customized roll cages, large steering wheels and V-Gate shifters alongside Auto Meter gauges bolted to sheet metal that replace stock gauges Beard low back seats.

Appearance mods include a Fiberglass Trends cowl hood (arguably still a performance piece since it lowers weight significantly over stock) and Hella headlights."

And yes, I want one.

This is directly related to this unfortunate Holden and it's possible even more unfortunate owner

This completely burnt-out shell of a Holden 48-215 sedan was one of a collection of six early-model Holden cars owned by Mr Chis Lee and stored in a purpose-built shed on his property at Koornalla, south of Traralgon. The shed was destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires on 7 February 2009.

I think that you are not far of. The Holden was a big thing in Australia but only in Australia.

Chevrolet (brother or sister of Holden) has brought out a multitude of models.
Just "google" "how many Chevrolet models are there" and Wikipedia will show you a list of Chevrolet's as long as your arm.
Some have nothing to do with GM/Chevrolet. Must have to do with import regulations etc.

I always liked the late 70's Caprice but my personal all time favorite Chevrolet was the mid 70's Camaro.
There was a dealer near my high school in Holland importing everything American.
I have spend many hours sitting in them and looking at them. At some stage they were almost affordable to me.
I never bought a Camaro. But they still are the best Chevrolet ever made.

easy shoe in for knight rider...




the third gen firebird also has a link to smokey and the bandit, featuring as the blocker car in the third film of the franchise, where snowman is the bandit in a weird twist of fate, as jerry reed was destined to be cast as the actual bandit at one point in time.



2nd gen camaro also has a reverse link to knight rider, if you look closely at the aerial stunts, big jumps or crashes, 3rd gen firebird magically turns into a grainy long distance shot of a black 2nd gen camaro mid air (not very seamlessly) probably as cost cutting measure not to delete a thousand KITT replicas in production.

Take a US turbo'd V6, enlarge it to 4.3 litres, bung it into a pick-up and you get the superfast GMC Syclone, or its brother, as shown here, the small SUV that is the GMC Typhoon. Deceptively fast, running a standing 1/4 mile in 14.1 sec, it was quicker than a Ferrari 348 in a straight line.

The Typhoon really is deserving of the Sports Utility Vehicle title too, in a way many SUVs simply aren't. I'm going to be cheap for my link and go with the GMC Syclone mentioned above to take us to the Ford Galaxie. It's just because I get annoyed with car names that are real words incorrectly spelled, you see.

west german peer and almost the same colour, opel kadett C caravan. the most interesting thing i can say about it (other than having superior suspension than an escort ) is that it was the last small rear wheel drive opel/vauxhall. sold in the UK all "wayne cherried" up as a chevette, but i think the bluff nose opel version is way more handsome.

That brings us to the real deal

Ohhh sorry wrong site...

There have been many small electric cars, but one of the more unusual designs was the US-made CitiCar from Florida, made between 74-77. A ridiculous version was the customised one featured on Kount's Kustoms. It was made for Roli, their detailer, who always struck me as being a bit strange.
