Maybe an 88 with a transplanted 84 crossfire!!!! Guess that KN filter is a little too tall to work on the crossfire lid!!

I see some MEGA C4 jalopy cars around the San Fernando Valley. Frankly, I rarely see an unmolested, clean C4 around these parts anymore.

I wonder what is going on with that car. It has the newer front and rear ends, but an '84 engine? What a mess.
