Default my 944 ls1 just got a big brother

been drooling since I was a kid, and suddently got a link for the add from a friend saying "why dont you have a 1969 camaro" and I wonderd myself.. so now I do!

we will see what happens in the future, but new front/rear subframe with corvette parts is tempting.

damn american design from late 60's is awsome.

Sweet.

I like it when Europeans buy American-made hybrids.

I only own v8 cars now, in misc forms, twinturbo diesel v8's in the merc daily driver though.. something about the sound and layout I just can't resist.

it's supposedly a 9 second car, we will see once the snow and ice clears the roads..

I bought a dodge ram 2500 hd hemi in texas btw, weird to have car salesman strap guns.

to bad fuel costs 3USD per liter here now.

it's very very very rare where I live sadly. I love a lot of the american designs until the 70s there were alot of awsome stuff. My boss who recently sold his 997turbo and E60 m5, is looking for an eleanor replica to add to his car collection, sadly now only all euros, but he built a ****** with 302, 30 years ago and want something with the proper sound again.

Im getting a NOS wing with the car, and it will be put on, think the rear end looks weird without wing.

our DMV has cut importing on theese things, meaning you can barely get it registerd even with matching numbers and smallblocks, so 1 of 3? in the country approved like this.

can look a bit anonymous from this angle

but when you see it from lower down.. it gets interesting

F1 is a BIG huffer! Bet the 496 loves it.
Have the 496 in my GMC 2500HD tow rig, what a torque monster.

would love to see a dyno on it if you have one to post.

and for the record you just moved up another class in my book Anders

there's no replacement for displacement Old school muscle cars aren't too rare to see around here... but it still turns heads. I can't imagine how it is in Europe..

Nice butt-shot.

I went through quite a few sets of Sportsman Pros myself, during my straight line days...
