Holla!nah, steel wheels, maybe as big as 18's but nothing rediculous.the keys here are RWD, 400HP, 6 speed. things the eldorado never had.always FWD (since 67), always automatic, and rarely north of 300 hp.

Bad324 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 If you want to be able to basically build from a catalog, you can do that with just about most popular Muscle cars. My Dad has spent the last year restoring his '65 GTO. Him and I have never really been close but helping him out has been a great bonding experience. I'm a sucker for most GM muscle cars but give the Mustangs a fighting chance. If I had the time or space for a project I'd get a Fox Body Stang or late 80s IROC and drop an LSx in it and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 How about a peak torque that starts at 2300 rpm and goes to 5500 rpm? Low end grunt of an N/A V8 my ass...body kit with fiero chassis.http://www.usedfieroparts.com/bodyk/zorbag40/I know where there are 2 Fiero's that could probably be had for a reasonable amount! Both V-6, one auto trans, one 4-speed (which is an overdrive, btw.) Both run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have always thought the Factory Five Shelby Cobra repicas were cool. Find a totaled 5.0 Mustang, get the kit then "some assembly required."what does the kit cost w/o the donor car? I REALLY like this idea.

RSVDon Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 what does the kit cost w/o the donor car? I REALLY like this idea.$13k for the base kit.$20k for the full kit.http://www.factoryfive.com/rdsterhome.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 ^ ya, i found a company that says $18k for the full kit, but none use a donor car; at least none that i've seen so far.I think fox body mustang convertible might be the answer. That's assuming the money man like the idea.I just like the idea of having a high horsepower noise machine with some cool factor. Something to take out on special occasions, and never let the dogs inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'd like to build a GTE. alot of work for something that is basically a sleeper...That thing may be many things... But a "sleeper" it is definately NOT!Looks like something ZZ Top would drive... Or Marion Cobretti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I think the Bandit's Trans Am would be killer, but they're expensive.My friends joked one time that they would pay me $500 to get the trans am firebird tattooed on my back from shoulder to shoulder. So when my neon died last week, the joke was that I should replace it with a trans am.I (semi seriously) looked into it, and the nice examples were in excess of $33,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm with you guys, before my days are numbered I will own a '77 Trans Am just like the one my mom had, though I will get a black/gold oneIf you wan't to put a little work and time into building one though they are pretty inexpensive to build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Turbo's on a V8 would be a bit tight in an S series.not if you ditch all the useless stuff like heat, ac, abs, and relocate the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 not if you ditch all the useless stuff like heat, ac, abs, and relocate the battery.Removing the inner fenders frees up a lot of space as well! I did a V8 swap on a 4X4 S-10 not long ago. It had a 2 or 3 inch body lift that made it a really nice fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 if it weren't my dad's money, I'd give up by now. Cars are cool, but bikes are cool AND CHEAP. if i want a noise machine that accelerates, i may as well look into cruisers instead of muclecars.

f4isvt Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 you could build my dream ride. One day I will start building one, a older 2 door camry not the solara a true two door camry 94 i think was the year. Tub it, 4 link, rwd, 6spd manual and a 2jz supra engine under the hood.

Strictly Street Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 My dad has two of these. A 60 and a 61 Willys Jeep. Not very common and I don't think they carry a high price tag. One of them was his first vehicle and the other he got for free for parts. Probably not what you are looking for but thought I'd throw it out to you.BTW, this is not his, just a pic off the net.
