First muscle car ....

Post by ozbilt »

Sean (BossKraft) started this thread on his Facebook page. I thought it was interesting to find out what others have owned over the years.

Yes I know it had Simmon(d)s on it (those wheels never got sold with the car & now reside on a 69 Mustang convertible that a friend owns ..... :rotfl:

Sadly I don't have any photos of cars that I had back in the day. When I started buying recreational cars again a few years ago this was my first "muscle car" (I guess a 240Z doesn't count).

Factory K code XB Fairmont GS.

I had a 240Z Ric, they count! :) "poor mans e type" inline 6 OHC and twin webbers, extractors and a 5 speed box.... it was enough muscle at 17 for me not to end up in danger :)

Bullshit, they were great cars. We rallied a 260Z & I drove a Nissan E20 van that had a 240Z engine & box in it. Was Nissan's chase car for the service crew & it hauled ass.

Friend of mine has a really nice one, brings it to breakfast every so often, locals may even get to see it at Cars & Coffee http://www.mustangtech.com.au/Forums/vi ... =4245.html ...... :drink:

Something I dont usually advertise, but my first V8 powered car ( at the time I was young and foolish and thought anything with a V8 was muscle)
was a 1962 Dodge Dart.
This thing was painted bright pink with blue scrolls down the sides and sat on wide rubber with deep dish chrome mags.
:vomit:
At the time I was a member of 1 NZ SAS Group based in Papakura, and the Dodge was my daily driver. Used to turn a lot of heads when I arrived in camp each morning and got a few strange looks, but no-one ever laughed.

2 or 4 door? These were cool & the first Valiant had this design.

Oh to have this one ......

Most probably wouldn't consider mine a muscle car, but it was faster than most muscle cars :lol:

Mine had an injected turbo 13B rotary in it... the purists hated me :poke:

No traction with 205 street tyres, but still did 12.1s 1/4 mile.
