Nice picture nicked from a MOPAR site over here. God help me, there's a nice one up for sale at the moment too! *slams fingers in drawer to prevent credit card swiping* :)

So... anyone else got some minor automotive obsession they care to admit to?

Normally not into these American cars.. but since I'm living in the US they are getting to me.. here at my apartment there are a few nice old Mustangs and some Chargers, and I'm lovin' them! This one is seriously beautiful as well :D

If you look at the prices they are asking here.. better import one then. A lot of nice ones are near the LA harbor so for 1200 euros shipping it will be yours.. who's stopping you? ;)

very nice, but to drive mostly in a straight line...

mostly they do fantastic on TV and picture's but in the real world...I rather go for an old school TVR Griffith (also a bit USA)

I realy love those with their big V8 :oops:

Late 60s / early 70s muscle is getting soo bloody expensive . . .

Nice call: Ford Torino. The 460Cod had THAT block in. Looks like a bag of shit but is the bizz perfomancewise.

Not much beats the Charger though: Bullitt bad guys!!

" . . . '76 Ford Torino powered with our 460 Cid / 510 HP Engine . . ."

With a big Holley Dom on it'll return 400-ish without the expensive bits . . . and last forever ;)

Wowzers: looking badass this '72 Torino . . .

Also late Chargers come fairly cheap and have the 383 in. Most are auto's . . . Neighbour had on, they look odd and lack the Real Thing-presence but boy WTF! It's muscle allright.
