well i'm gonna catch flack from some 'green-minded' members here hehe...but i simply refuse to drive anything made after 1969 or so...hard to keep the tank full [92-93 octane premium only] in my rides living on disability but the blast i have drivin' 'em is worth the lack of $ for everything else...hope i got this photo posting right...
first my hopped-up, stripped down '79 sporty...pic taken back in 1986 in va beach while doing a stint for uncle sam...only photo i have of it, taken right after i snapped the chhain doin' one wheelie too many hehe...the mill was stroked to almost 74ci [1200cc] and it had 2" shortie drag pipes/no mufflers....that's a garter from a cute friendly stripper at a local strip joint wrapped around my right handlebar, for luck... };->

new mill in my daily driver circa early 2005, a hopped-up 455 bored 0.40 over with torker 2 intake, 870 cfm holley carb, msd pro-billet distributor, hooker super comp headers, blahblah...it already had th400 tranny and a 10 bolt rear [3.73 gears] with 'eaton' 8.5" posi unit...the car did mid 12 seconds in 1/4 w/street tires but barrely 5 mpg if i stood on the go pedal a bit hehe...

a few years ago in front of my apt...much beaten up cutlass now but still badass and fast with that torque monster mill under its hood...fiinally sold it for the price of the motor only in november 2011....it started too have problems w/overheating, et al and i just couldn't afford to redo evverything nor drive it as a daily driver reliably...

haven't replaced it with another daily beater yet...likely it'll be an early '60 caddy coupe or something from the '50s...
