aaronmvrider, no, no more RZ for me :smt013 I miss that thing more than any other vehicle I ever had [smilie=faccina11.gif] I miss that thing more than my last girlfriend LOL which come to think of it isn't to hard to do now he he. The sad thing is it's hard to find them in that kind of shape now. If I ever win the lotto I will resurrect some kind of two stroke street machine company here in the US.

I do miss one other vehicle a lot though, my 1965 Plymouth Belvedere. Not another car like that one. I have not been able to find another one on the internet like it. It was a big four door sedan that I bought from my machinist boss but somehow looked and felt sporty. One day at work in the break room my supervisor said "The boss has got this car for sale but I passed on it so who wants it?" I leaped so fast no one else could even think lol. So I went and picked it up, it had four flat tires but fired right up after a new battery and some fuel in the carb. I actually drove it home that day. It had faded blue paint but all was intact. It had a 340 bored over 60 with a Quadrajet carb, a beefy 4spd trans ditto on the drive line, vertical shift shifter, dual point distributer, dual exhaust, Blaupunk stereo and what appeared to be some stock SS rims. It was a total sleeper but not real fast ya know, probably a stock cam but it ran really well and all was like new mechanically for 500.00 US. I was told the trans was from a Hemi and the drive line was from some kind of truck, AND had some kind of decent rear axle because it would lite up both tires every time. Who knows what he did to it but it all fit perfectly and looked like it was all stock to me? He was a really creative guy and a great machinist. He designed all the machinery in his shop that we all worked on every day to rebuild Torque converters. It was a well known company here in Florida and probably throughout the east coast if you were working in a tranny shop. Later folks
