tough cars

Post by googe »

I know you Americans love your v8's , so do us Aussie's. Here's one of my favorite aussie cars at its best. Please share yours, I love American muscle. Not as much as aus though :lol:

Here's to alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.

1969 Chevelle SS is a monster of a car. Sweet lines and American muscle.

I had a 67 camaro. Fully rollerized 327,Muncie 4speed and a 411 rear-end. Ran mid to high 12s all day long on pump gas. Sold 7 years ago when I moved into the Bush. I sure miss that weapon 🍻
Nothing like going fast.

Edited after watching that video.
That sure got my blood pumping. And yeah my 450 horse was nothing like that đź‘Ť
I drink so much now,on the back of my license it's a list of organs I need.

dunno if it's a tough car, but i enjoyed building it. has a 405hp vortec 350 build with a type 20 and 12 bolt posi. ton of fun to drive. F bodies are great to build, they are fairly simple and parts are plentiful.

I'd say 405 ponies makes it pretty tuff.
Sharp looking ride đź‘Ś

That's the current front runner for the new presidential limousine.

My Dad turned a 63 valiant station wagon into a slick looking hoopy truck.
Dodge missed a great chance by not marketing the same.

Wanna see tough cars? Do a search for “Gambler 500”.

Folks in the PNW United States usually see these tough cars rolling around in August, September. A rally for cheep cars. Original rules were no vehicle with more than $500 spent on it. Not enforced now, but still cheep ass janky things. The teams go campsite to campsite, picking up as much garbage as they can haul along the way.
