I’m the kind where I don’t much care what others think of me. After having it for 10 years I traded it off for my 75 vette.

What engine in that sukka? I had a couple, my fav was the 06 Z06. Went for more comfort, but couldnt give the performance. Found it!

Right now it is a 65, 300hp 327. Also it is a 4 speed car. Needs major interior work. Working on acquiring a big block though.

Just go for a new LS crate engine....

Why, when a tunnel rammed big block will do just fine?

You know bigger isn't always better. I love my car the way it is. 170 slant 6, 3 on the tree, 4 doors... lots of character.

Gobs of smooth, easy to use HP. Could send grandma to the store in it with an LS. Tires might suffer though!
So much nicer than that old school stuff. Makes for a sleeper!
The LS I have has surprised many of drivers of even a few exotics....

I don’t doubt that an LS is smoother. But that’s not what I want. I love the brutal on or off power, the mean visceral assault of my senses. The unrefined power and looking high into the sky on a wheels up launch! That’s where it’s at man!
As for that dart, I be converting it to a 2 door, moving the rear wheels 11” forward and hanging an A100 van axle under the nose. Top it off with a cross rammed 440 and a reverse manual 727, now you got something!!

There is a mopar 383 on a stand in the shop.…
that thing was indestructable!
I enjoyed that as well, when l was younger. Now l prefer A/C, good tunes, comfort, quiet. I’ll put the window down if l want to smell burning rubber.
Had a buddy that had that setup back in the day, but it was a Valiant.

Amazing fact of life. Turning 70 something does have a way of making those creature comforts that we all snarled at years ago seem a little more important.

apparently not for everyone, but then I guess Denny is still a youngster.
I didn't wait for 70, comfort became more appealing way before that.

Good cars are for driving during the days. Fun cars are for driving at night or the drag strip!

Good cars get you from point A to point B, great cars get you in trouble at the same time.

What’s point S? I never heard of that before. Am I going to have to learn a new way of giving directions? I’m too old for that!

Was wonderin if that is the new phonetic alphabet and/or the new navigation/GPS guidance cordinate system taught in school. I’m relieved it is not.

You’re relieved, I’m relieved. I’m not that smart to learn new things.
