We had a couple Chevy monza spiders an 3 1977 Pontiac sunbirds that we put junk yard 350s in. I loved the town I grew up in we could get a 350 out of a variety of 3/4 ton silverados an they were almost always 4bolt main sbc or 454s. Then do a cheap crap rebuild do some welding to keep the frame together an drop in those two cars. It was soooo much fun every one of them was stupid fast! Straight line only cars though that suspension couldn't be built strong enough to put up with what we were doing to it. We were incredibly stupid bullet proof teenagers who had no need for brakes or steer ability we just needed to go fast!
They were very much bubba builds but put 5 teenage kids in a house no supervision what can you expect. We all had just barely enough money not to starve an we spent it all on building those cars wow we were stupid!
I still the love the original late 70s pontiac sunbird it is a 1/2 scale firebird!!

While I do remember those days, I never cared much for those types of custom paint jobs. I'm a boring single color kind of guy 
That Vette in the OP would look really cool in just the gold without the graphics IMO. Love the 10" wide Mickey T tires on the Camaro... Just
I remember when N50-15's were all the rage - couldn't imagine anything cooler than those massive things lol
