Is that A Gremlin?pretty sweet.

 

 

Sorry, no Gremlin, we are Bowtie and Yamadog peeps.

 

The car is actually a 1980 Chevy Monza, with a 355ci SBC, TH350 tranny, 373 gears with a posi rearend, just don't shift over 7 grand or the fan belt likes to come off....guess I need to work on that.....its still a project but alotta fun to drive....

 

Only problem is when the car is shaking and the mirrors are rattling at the light it kinda gives it away..... :cool:

I know what you mean about giving it away. my mustang is/was a decent sleeper and even has a slightly louder than factory exhaust... well i changed cams again and it runs like a raped ape now but the rump rump rump at idle kinda gives it away.

 

i always wanted to do a sleeper pinto... maybe with another 2.3turbo? :D

I have a buddy with a pinto that you can be rolling along abou 20mph then floor it, and it will wite smoke both back tires. It's got a 351 winser stuffed in it. It's nasty. Last time I saw it I was like "damn Jonny, it would run good if you could ever get the beast to hook up".
