Last summer I was in Maidenhead whilst the car was being serviced and I saw one exactly like that, I just stood around waiting for the lad to start it up, it was amazing and a total head turner, even had the big old CB ariel

FWJ Racing can help wonders with V8 tuning for anyone out there with a V8 who wants a bit more grunt.

F1 World Champion and pretty much one of th ebest engine builders that i know. Hes a quality guy for a chat as well, remember a lot of good times talkin to him when hes up in scotland and to b honest, a bit mad in the head but i think we all are when u drive a 700bhp stock car lol

Very cool car mate, there is simply nothing in the world that sounds better then a big lumpy V8 idle.
Could a manual gearbox be fitted?

Cheers, Mike

Really Mike?

Didn't think you'd be into all that american muscle car stuff.....

I can appreciate the car/history/legend etc, but can't say I'd ever want to own one.

Nice though - bet you start modifying within the week

there is a manual 4 speed version Chunk - but i think converting it would be a load of hassle for not much benefit TBH



Always liked the idea of a muscle car since i was a nipper Rich

thought i would try one out

Especially when the $ : Ł was nearly 2:1

I was thinking more on the lines of making it more fun to drive and so on, dumping the clutch on 400 of the finest yank horses has gotta be fun to watch.
