Is there such thing? I recently just bought a beautiful '78 SA 4 speed L82 survivor. It's so original I want to keep it that way for future generations to enjoy and for my wife and I to enjoy.
But at the same time I enjoy fast cars. I now find myself wanting a sugar scoop C3 4 speed small block car to modify. Is this normal? I'd go small block stroker with carb style EFI, aftermarket overdrive transmission, lots of suspension work and really sticky wide tires and wheels in 17" or 18" and abuse this car at the track sometimes. I'd be shooting for 400ish hp and doing all the lightening mods some fellow member listed in tech forum.
I was thinking I'd like to get a 40th or 50th anny to go with the 25th, but I've honestly owned enough '80s, '90s, and '00s cars with EFI to know what that's all about. I really dig the old school style of the C3. It has far more in common with the cars of the '60s than anything from today.
It is a sickness. Not as bad as other but my stock 72 LT1 was boring. It is now a 500 HP LS3 with a T56 6 speed and coil over suspension. The other car is a Shelby Cobra replica with a 408ci 540 HP Ford with a 5 speed and fuel injection and countless mods and upgrades. Enjoy it while you can. It is fun.
The problem is it seems that todays teenagers are immune to this sickness.
They just my not have been exposed to the virus enough yet....
One of my co-workers comes in to show me the carberator body off his jeep, that he proudly power coated himself. The kid that works at the desk next to mine says "what is that?"
I sat there for a second dumbfounded and then said " Oh yeah!! You probably have never seen one if those before!"
