My dad had a 71 fast back with the 351 Cleveland Engine. I loved that car sooooo much. the hood intakes were FULLY functional with butterfly valves that would open when more air was needed. I really hate todays cars with cosmetic vents that are just hunks of plastic stuck to the sides/hoods. On the Range Rover the side vents are the intake ports which I love. Looks great and functional. Today's Range Rovers no longer carry them. It's all for show.

Love that body style Monty. Any mods?

it came with full exhaust and a cai, think it has a lower gear rear end also because the speedo is about 5 mph off. nothing extreme though, probably won't mess with it too much besides get stickier tires in the summer.

I have the car illness...

Started with the purchase of a 1969 Camaro in 1981, paid $150 and it ran. I still have my second Camaro purchased in 1982 ($450), but it is in pieces waiting its turn for restoration. Here it is in 1986:

The faded jewel of the collection is my 1953 356 Porsche. My dad purchased this in 1961 and the last time I saw it move under its own power was 1969. I will likely start that restoration while working on my Camaro. This project will not be quick or cheap.

The beast of the group is my 1977 two wheel drive Blazer with a monster 327, overdrive transmission, and set up for the drag strip. This one is likely on the chopping block as I am running out of space.

The 1957 Chevy Truck I purchased for my wife several years ago. Still waiting for attention and I hear about that constantly.

Dabbled in other Camaros... here is a 1978 Z28 that I reworked...

Currently restoring an old 1953 CJ3A... retired Navy Jeep. This one is for my father... he has always wanted one. It was supposed to be a quick project but definitely not anymore. No bolt will be left untouched when I am done. Rolling chassis is almost done, looking like off the factory floor. The body needs some more attention... still have some panels to cut out and weld new in. Then time to paint and put back on the frame. Ran out of space to post pics on this one.

Current reigning beast of the stable is my 2017 Fifty Anniversary Camaro SS. Hell of a car and will likely kill me if I don't respect it. This one only sees the road with nice weather.
