Go for it Bob! Back in 1969, Friday night was street racing with my Camaro, Sat. night date night with the Eldo.

It's funny how people put 69-72 grand prize and 70-72 Monte Carlos in with the big car category. They are on the same frames as chevelle and gtos. Just about 1 foot longer and the just about the same weight.
I personally like the big cars better than the rest.I've had some really cool ones.

Had a 72’ Tornado – the wife called it the Nimitz … was excellent in the snow with that four double nickel sittin' in the nose! TAZ

I drug this home a year ago. It wasnt running well enough for any driving but looking forward to when it will. At least looking forward when its back together! Its a beast and a mile long. Crossram 413 with a push button cast iron transmission.

That Eldo is sexy.. I'd gladly take a 66 / 67 toronado ... We used to have one that we took from jersey to Albany (turning stone resort) we would do 85 up the NY through way with the ac blasting like it wasn't no thing

Here is the one big 2 door survivor I 'had', but I sold it to help pay for my 67 hemi gtx. It was really tough to see it get picked up. My wife and I did a lot of cruising in it, no worries about overheating, or where to get racing gas, just a nice and smooth ride. Yep, I am ready for a black 67 eldo now....for restoring 'balance'.

Here's our family classic - given to my Grandfather by his company, as a retirement gift in 1971.

(Gets far worse gas mileage than any musclecar I have ever owned. 6mpg highway) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

It's longer than my Suburban and wider than a traffic lane!
