My S2000 (not stk) looks stock except for wheels (that look like black hubcaps) and blue brakes.

'69 Camaro too flashy, too much chrome. Early '70s much cleaner.

 

Camaro sucks! Its a Chevy! If I had to chose american Ill go Mustang.

 

Mustang sucks! Go GTO.

 

^ I forgot, I Agree, but while the GTO was absent the Cobra was on top. (Exception of supercars)

Thats one Pontiac Ill buy and I think its because its a Holden LOL

 

If talking about the 70's, you must go P I N T O...

 

I was just foolin' around, Brute. All these classics have their charms. I think Alex's Camaro is pretty slick, even if it's not my style.

Of the muscle cars of the late '60s, I think I'd take a 'cuda or a GTO over the mustang/camaro... But, again, they're all pretty cool.

As for the Cobras.... DAMN cool. Even the current kit repros are fine.

 

No FCUKing way. Gimme a Pacer or a Matador!!!!

 

My Chevy will ass rape your Mustang.

Oh, wait, you don't have one.




Charlie - It's all about the Gremlin.

Here's a funny story. One of my instructors was telling me about how he and his wife bought a Gremlin back in the day, for fuel economy reasons. He said it was a bulletproof car, except for one thing: After almost 2 years of perfect service, the Gremlin decided to act up. Every tmie you'd try to start it up, it would pop, then die. Crank it again and it would turn right over, and run just fine after that. But it happened every time he tried to fire it up! After a week, he finally found time to check under the hood. The distributor cap was halfway off!

Puzzled, he put back the cap and attached with the clips. Weird. But it kept happening. He'd go to start it and it would pop and die. Try again and turn right over. Then when he was done driving, he'd check under the hood and, again, the distributor cap was halfway off!

This went on for about two weeks, until he got his wife to start the car while he was checking the engine. On the first crank, BOOM! the distributor cap popped off (it had the style of clip commonly found on airboxes), along with a healthy sized flame!

It turns out it had a dual-diaphragm vacuum advance, and one of the diaphragms couldn't hold pressure, giving the second diaphragm a false reading. Thus, the vacuum advance held no vacuum at all. This meant two things: 1) The engine ran just fine without any timing advance whatsoever and 2) the open passageway (vacuum) was feeding air/fuel mixture into the distributor! So every time you try to start it, the residual fuel mixture in the distributor cap ignites, and pops off the cap.

But, this meant one other thing: Because the distributor cap was halfway off after initial start-up and the whole time the engine was running, the points must've been arcing an inch or two to make their contacts!

A testament to the durability of the Gremlin motor.

 

and with the van and today's newspaper by it....sh*t, I still haven't seen a single pic of any of those cars.....

 

You still haven't posted pics of your dad's 575M either...come on Alex, time to get a digi-cam.
