When I was a pre-teen 14(in 1978 ) I had a boyfriend that had a 1970 'CUDA 340 slap stick.... we raced everyone all the time... leaving the camaros and trans am's of the time in THE DUST... The only car he would NOT race was a 1971 Dodge Demon 340 4 speed that thumped up to our door.... sooo later in life thats what I bought 1971 340 4speed Dodge DEMON -YEA THAT THING ROCKED!!! it would chrip tires in 2nd going around corners not even trying.... ahhhhh I miss that Car!!!

So, like, how the fuck does that narrow it down to the '70 88? What if the '71 Vega caused all of that?

And anyway, the '70 88 had no specific engineering that wasn't the same as the '69 or '71... the engine and chassis date back several years prior.

And all this time I thought the 70' GTO was the high point of american car culture...

I had one... and a '68 too.

no it's the 69 hemi charger Blown!!

One of my best friends has a full-on "pro street" '69 Hemi Charger. Oh yeah, it's bad!

This is the Captain Goddammit personal Saturday night cruiser:



It's got dual quads and a four speed. Woohoo!

[Box Burner]

this is my favorite. Wish I still had it.

[BitterDan]

Nice Box Burner! My first car was a 69' mustang coupe with a 351 Windsor. My father and I fixed it up and got it a nice paint job and eventually I ended up swapping the engine out for a 351 Cleveland. By the time it was street able (it took 2 years to get the new drivetrain in) I was pushing 400hp. It got to the point where we had to fabricate solid tranny mounts because the torque kept breaking the stock ones. I hit hard times in my early 20's and had to sell it for rent. I still miss that car. One of these days I'll build another one.

Now that....that's one sweet looking ride. Beau-ti-ful!!!!!!

[Ugly Dougly]

Thanks for playing boy. Look and try not to sploodge your pants:

[Captain Goddammit]

Wow, a '69 'Vette! Is that a big-block hood I almost see?

[Kinetik V]

Thanks for playing boy. Look and try not to sploodge your pants:

Nice but if I was going to spend the money on one it would look like this and have the 427 rated at a conservative 435 horsepower.



There are Corvettes and then...well the picture speaks for itself.

[Captain Goddammit]

I've got a friend with a '67 427/435 Tri-Power Vette! After cruising in it, all I can say is it NEVER runs out of torque! His dad originally bought it way back when, before it was a super-expensive car. (That's also how I got the '55 Bel-Air... even just 20 years ago when I first bought the car, it wasn't THAT valuable.)

[Simon of the Playa]

my senior year in high school, my father gave me his prized 1968 Cutlass Convertible with the 350 rocket V8, not the monstrous 442, but still pretty damn fast.

it was the chick magnet from HELL.

thanks dad.

My buddy had a ride just like that one Simon except it was blue. We called it "Big Blue".
