Got a new musclecar

mmcporter · #1 02-12-2007, 06:54 AM

The car actually goes pretty good. I don't know 1/4 mile times, and the horsepower rating is 270 NET (as opposed to gross). However, the torque on the car is 455 FT/LBS, which is good stuff. No substitute for cubic inches! Handling on the car is quite good for a 35 year old piece.

Thanks for your compliments. As soon as I find a picture reducing software I'll post more pics.

Thanks,

Morris

The "New" photobucket automatically reduces the picture sizes for you (That reminds me...I'm going to have to update my tutorial). You can choose from a number of sizes for display now.

Just get a free photobucket account and load up your pics....PM me if you have any problems!

Very cool...congrats! I've owned 4 survivor '72's over the years and they are one of my favorites. In '96 I bought a 29,000 mile untouched LS5 4 speed car and drove it almost 1,000 miles home from MO

It was a great car!!! BTW, I'm sure you know this, but under those hub caps is a set of rally wheels so you can run the rings and caps for a different look at times

Best of luck with the car!

------Very nice!!! What color was the car before the dealer repainted it??? I ask only because a used car dealer I worked for during that era was ordering new Corvettes in primer and painting them black upon arrival. Out of probably 5 Vettes ordered he never had the foresight to order the 454. Never could understand that.........Bill S
