I had that same car for a coulpe weeks. Got it for $25.00 and it lasted one weekend a blow up on me. Then I took it to a place down the road and had to take the wheels off and the battery out and the radiator out. Got paid $35.00 for it so was thinking wow what a great deal. This was about 1971 or 1972 that it happen. I wish I never did that because that place I took it too smashed it flat. :( It was so pretty and it was the red and white just like this one. Worse thing I ever did but I did not know better back then. If I just keep the car till I had the money to rebuild that engine I would of had me one great car and would still have it.

Slick set of wheels Ken, dig the white-walls ! I guess the Aussie designer's ripped this shape off for their Holden FJ series, great lines ! Cheers

Now Kenmo, no one would ever call a car with fenderskirts a muscle car. Now see the Beetles came over from Liverpool and in Liverpool there was these two groups, see, the Mods and the Rockers and they did not discourse. So In America, the hairhats (who had hairdryer and hairsprayed doos)who drove new medium price cars with factory duals to the driveinns began to get down on the rodders and there had to be a show down and from that was born out of the pony cars which were forbidden to have the full size motors of the long low, and the intermediates which had a sort of tag along fullsize built undersize, and the former compacts, the muscle car which varied in a sort of domino effect that intermediates got full size motors and the ponys got the under size full size and the compacts got what the ponys were getting as they had supplied the platforms for the ponys. Thus were parts per million preserved by the same smog in a bigger dispalcement exhausted at shorter duration and without vacuum advance, See?!! Now a Thunderbolt is a muscle car because a Fairlane with a 390 was not. Also a 454 El Camino is a muscle car because Chevelles with one four barrel were forced to race Olds and Buicks with two and not just amke applesauce out of GTOs which were long of tooth. If you want to tell me this is a muscle car because the trainer at the local gym drives it I will believe you. Not everyone wants to soup up his Hummer like Arnold.
