anyone into or own a old school (pre 80's i guess) american muscle car?, always had a soft spot for these,
when i was young there used to be a dealership at the top of my road that done muscle cars but for the life of me cant remember their name (it was on the old a13, now a1306 opposite dagenham ford plant on the border of rainham/dagenham if anyone can remember it!)
theres a pontiac firebird on auction tomorrow, 1974, no idea what it is worth and body isnt that nice (read - pretty rottern) so not going to go mad on the bidding

Friend of mine has got a Pontiac Firebird Daytona 400, its absolutely immense!! 7/8ltr V8 naturally aspirated, does high 12's at the pod i think!!
Goes well for how big it is, takes up nearly 2 parking spaces in length! LOL!!![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)

Went to view a house on Saturday and there was what looked like a 1972 ford mustang in the garage that needed some TLC. going for a second viewing this Saturday and will get some pictures up but hopefully can sort out a deal where the car is left with the house!
Love the American muscles, only have to be in one for a full bore standing start to fall in love with them. Its all about the noise!

Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass, Lovely!! My uncle has bought and sold 100's of muscle cars over the years. I will have one in the future, just need a big enough garage to park the the bloody thing

I once saw a mustang online and the owner spent thousands on the steering, brakes and suspension so they would work on our roads (even converted it to rhd iirc). I must try to find that pic

I think they look wicked though. American Graffiti is a top film IMO

I was in Leicester the other night and saw the same car as what Jezza drove on the American buy a car for a grand special.
It was 3x the size of my fucking Focus
