Pro Street 427 XL Fairlane. Yep, it sounded VERY good.

"RUMPA-RUMPA-RUMPA-RUMPA" with a faint blower whine and an occasional rap-out throttle stab: "WHOOOM!...RUMPA-RUMPA-RUMPA..." X 100

You know how you come upon a car and your first reaction is to laugh out-loud at how COOl it is? Here's one. Ford Courier with blown small-block Ford. Primer? SO WHAT!

Speaking of blowers...

Oh, and check out the dudes with tube socks!

This stereo setup was state-of-the-art in 1984. The guy's name was Mark Fujita, from the east bay, and he was a stereo guru. Everybody wanted tunes like this back then. Now when some kid thumps through my neighborhood at midnight I wish this kind of thing had never been invented.

Yep, another Camaro, this one's a '68 SS 396. This is the kind of car I wanted in those days.

Here's a nice '65 Chevelle. Note the Chevy emblem painted into the grille. Might have been a magazine car.

Nice 390 GTA Fairlane.

[427TJ]

Blown GTA Fairlane.

Remeber Vuarnet sunglasses? Check out the dude walking behind the car. This proves the photo was taken in 1984...

Another Mopar Pro Street car done oh-so-right. '70 Bee. Note the Bee sticker on the scoop.
