anyone on here got any yanks?

 

Yes thanks, Got one of these;

 

We have to many corners over here for a yank motor

 

my uncle has a dodge ram srt10 and cant take it any where cos there is nowere big enough to park it

 

Weve currently got 3 yanks in the family, Dad is rebuildin a 68 fastback mustang, brother is rebuilding his engine in his 67 Plymouth Cuda drag car and mum has a 2002 hipo V6 mustang, my dad is also the current chairman of the AACNW.
Where the Camaro is at he can be a bit dear at times i think personally !

 

Love the 77 firebird ' Smokey Bandit shape', totally love em, and that car is local to me....Needs its bird on bonnet tho...Top cars

 

cool a few people with yanks then . always loved them from a early age . ive built a couple with my old man in the past a chevvy nova drag car. and a dodge stepside pickup lowrider and a 73 bright orange camaro .. i think its about time for another now.

i think its going to have to be a smokey for sure

 

soon as I get a long ethernet cable i'll fire up the mac and post some pics of my ex's dads 38 chevy half ton pick up I was helping him build.

6.3 (353ci iirc) edelbrock chevy small block
genuine 30's tin body
chopped and channelled a bit, by me
Jag front clip
Line lock
burnout machine

 

sounds nice steve . awaiting pics

 

Wouldnt mind a knightrider trans am

 

No worries Tony, I might even drag it down here and plug it in after the weekend for ya

 

I need an offside front wing, front nosecone, and off side headlight for my 82 camaro. Any ideas where to get them?

 

Will ask the old man for you mate, but of the top of my head try oldcotts in stoke !

 

My mate has got a 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 which is one of the best in the country and he's also in the process of restoring a 1965 Buick Riviera that he's turning into a low rider.

 

I love american cars they look so much better than the shit cars we have these days.

 

Love the Camaro

My dad had a 2 tone gold and black one ( z28 ) and my mum had a gold straight 6 less spec version

Our driveway looked cool tho with 2 sat there , I was only about 14 years old and loved to pop to the shops with my mum in her camaro ,lol,

 

used to love the trans ams when i was a kid
a lad i worked with had one recently and theyre an horrendous looking car in the flesh imo
sounded awesome though

 

My mate adam has a few, he gets some of his spares through USA, in Wymondham 01953 601410.
Just don't expect speed, just because of engine size, although mpg can be surprisingly good 25+.
He has a 76 firebird esprit(camaro), 77 stingray, and s10 stepside at mo.
The vette is a small block(5,7) and std came with TWIN 1150 double pumpers loads of soot from exhaust and around 2mpg.
Now on a 650 vac secondary, so 25mpg is not a problem, spares are often a lot easier to get/quicker than present day ford stuff from dealers.
Nice cars though, shocking handling and brakes/build quality.
tabetha

 

its all about the sound of them cant beat the sound hmmmmm

 

Got to be the Bandit Trans-Am, awesome looking and sounding cars. There was one running round my way a few years back and it was something else.

 

my ma used to have a 350 iroc z z 28, it was a top of the range z28 and it made the floor rumble,nice car and it had bilstein suspension. same engine as a corvette but miles better looking.
my old man has a place in america and the best and cheepest way to buy a yank is to go over there and buy one and send it back. we did and picked it up from southampton.

theres tons of stuff on ebay america ie ebay.com the geezer in stoke is very dear imo but has been going for years.
the black late model ta looks like a gta to me
we had a firebird formula too but the iroc made it look cheep

 

i havent got one myself but my old mans has 1975 fully restored pontiac firebird,a 1969 dodge charger,and a 1965 ford mustang(which won classic car of the year in Thailand this year) and a 1969 ford mustang as well as a 1969 gto pontiac judge plus about 19 other classic cars in his collection from MG's,Alfas,jags,Mercs,Austins healeys,Triumphs,Ac Cobra and a couple 1947 cars but not sure of the make all stored in a purpose built showroom on the side of his house

was talking to me mate a few week back and he said it was mine for Ł1500.... needs a brake-overhaul and a few parts needed. Hasnt turned a wheel for a few years....

 

if your mates step dad wants rid im in the market


out of interest how much buddy

 

if your talking about trans ams and smokey and the bandido you gotta get the name of the car right, its Trigger or the later one in smokey and the bandit 11 was son of trigger after the fact the bandit is a roy rogers fan and ol' roy sings in the films.
i saw one in america that had trigger under the bandit licence plate and it sent goosebumps up me.
