New Toy

#1 Post by silverstrom » Thu May 26, 2016 2:09 am

As my health declines I'm looking for new ways to enjoy a nice ride on the back roads. This is a good start. Delivered by flatbed today. A very well built and tuned 455.

There are no stickers on the car. Everything is airbrushed.

Wow! Nice one John.

That car has some very nice personal touches. :smt016

Really looks like a lot of (gas guzzling) fun.

Nice catch. I had a '76 Rally Sport Camaro 4 speed, it was a hoot. It had aluminum bumpers, when I took them off to paint it I nearly killed myself on the first one, it must have weighed over a hundred pounds. In case you ever need to know, it is possible to get into the trunk without tools (or damage) to retrieve your keys after you lock them in there on a highway flyover in the middle of the night.
