If anyone has seen the New Top Gun movie-Miles Teller drives up in an absolute beauty! Never been a Ford guy but I'd drive one of those. Nessmuck is right about buying what ya want-been through the ground up resto thing several times its huge time and money and then you're scared to drive them anywhere when finished. On my second station wagon rotisierre resto right now-wagons are tough to do. 4 doors and long roof,panels etc..Took alot of blocking to get the roof straight again-thinking too many kids ran over the roof at parties growing up LOL.

While I can surely appreciate 60’s and 70’s muscle, I have shared many of the same circles as hippie for the last 35 years or so. The dirt sprint car division now running cylinder heads @ 295cc intake runners, the fuel injection on these things(alcohol), have 3” stacks that you can drop a baseball in, the small block Chevy really isn’t a small block Chevy any more in Hippie and I’s world. Sorry Hippie, I guess the MOPAR and ford stuff have came a long too! 😜😂 life is good......

Most chevy's didn't have the power to do a good burn out and we called them "chirppers". The wheel hop they had made a chirps chirp chirp sound from the wheel hop. Then they started putting traction bars on them, some goofy looking deal that REAL cars didn't need!

So I'm picking up an early 80s firebird.... any points back on the card for that car or did I miss the mark again... this one is a junk yard revival
