much as I'm not a fan of Yank tanks... thats actually very very nice looking indeed... (I'd love a Dodge Charger though :s)
Wouldn't want it myself, but it is damn endearing and looks full of character.
That's brilliant.
Sound please!
Very very nice
That is so frikkin cool
You gotta bring to the HWH thursday
my mate had one / has one lowered it and put some MASSIVE chrome wheels from america and it was ace !!!!!!
That is gorgeous mate
i normally think yank-tanks are proper puff-trucks, but thats cool Mart
That is a stunning car, so well kept! What a fantastic purchase that was... any shots of the engine bay?
Should I mention offset? (Just messing, I know all the old school US cars are like that ) Without those wheels/tyres it wouldn't look as good. Awesome bit of kit

Does it sound as good as it should?
I'll put up some shots of the engine bay when I get a chance to taking some.
It's reasonably loud actually, the system is straight through to little cherry bombs, so it gets attention on full throttle. It would sound a bit more decent with some proper steel packed boxes on the back. Something which I will sort out in due course.
A car that is 46 years old did come with some problems though:
Starter motor hates engaging when hot,
Rear lights and brakes lights don't work (sorted)
Brake pedal doesn't return properly
Might need a choke connecting
Illegal numberplates
It's quite advanced for its time. It has electric windows all round, electric adjustable seats, power steering, power brakes, air con was an option. All the lazy things you want in a car lol.
Haven't driven it today which is a shame because the weather was really nice. I had to devote today to some engine work for the old Datsun which oddly doesn't have adjustable seats, electric windows or power steering.

I googled the model to see if they had any videos of the car starting/running, but i couldn't find much, just plenty of people talking about it though.
