Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted January 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 1, 2007 Originally posted by GuyaGuy repainted? Of course. Even the 440 in it is nonoriginal. Happens. Then again I am not rich enough to be a showcar guy. I don't care about matching #'s. Sorta like how my MIJ's are almost just as good as the guitars I've built myself for my needs! Another shot nice dual exhaust.I wish my '67 with the 318 was a ragtop. This one a hardtop with a 440. My life would be nearly completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or park it behind my other 17 foot car and in front of my Hyundai on the drive with plenty of room to walk past on the sidewalk. Though I think cars like these will make amazing tankers when gasoline is $15/gallon. Everybody will assume they haven't been filled up in 20 years.

Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted January 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Originally posted by Bruno Now we are talking with the 2 door. Nice ride my man There is a bias in the US for 2 doors over 4 doors. I grew up in Japan thus don't care much about this arbitrary bias. There are 4 door stylizations I prefer over 2 doors. You know what I am saying? Because of this I can get into an old powerful car at a much lower price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig the old 4 door Nissan Skylines all the way, but on American Muscle the 2 doors are my favorites.Do you have to add a lead additive with the 440 that is in the car right now or can you run her on reg. pump gas?

Normally I read about 440's running fine on premium pump as long as the compression isn't too radical.2 door Skylines are really sharp too. My Skyline was a 4 door. I wrecked it. Subaru WRX's are a notable Japanese 4 door that will never be in a 2 door package due to their reputation for rally.BTW that Sound City of yours does it have the Partridges transformers?

Man you trashed a Skyline I had a chance to drive one in Chicago that was at a local tuner shop and that was one bad ride. It is to bad I did not have an extra $75K to burn or else I would have one. I used to have a low 12 second AWD GSX Eclipse moons ago but sold that off before I go married.Yes the Sound City has the original Partridge transformers in it. If you go to the classified forum section you can see pics of it. It is a great amp but I have to make room for new toys Let me know if you are interested.Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Filter428 Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Originally posted by catalinbread Oh my '69 Newport. Nice! Growing up, a friends' mom had the same car but it was a four door and it was green. We used to call it "Sherman" because it was as large and as heavy as a tank! We blew the motor up on it. I remember it being expensive to fill up back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
