IAmtnbikr Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Just go here: http://www.oldanimotorsports.20megsfree.com and take a peek at the car halfway down that page. Easily the most fun ride I have had so far, bar none! Nothing like a belt-driven hoodscoop.... Hmm.... "Vette"....you must live in a small county if it only takes a 10.96 to have the fastest street car, lol! Just giving you a bad time!!! My old '68 Nova with a tiny little .020" over 302" with iron heads, one 4bbl, 12-bolt and a Glide ran 11-flat on 10.5" tires in the worst summer heat and humidity, and was street-driven. It dipped into the 10.80's if better air, but nothing real spectacular. The fun part was I spent the money on the driveline first, so it looked pretty ratty and surprised more than a few 454-468 guys with Camaros, Novas, and Chevelles in its day. I should have never sold it..... But this post: "My gf has a vibe" takes the prize so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Tom - He's got 25 Porsche's sitting at his place, and he's a one man operation, so they ARE all his! I wouldn't even care if the car did have paint work, the paint is beautiful. But I want to know the history before I shell out the dough. I'm also looking at this beauty.

Allan Songer Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 The most fun I ever had on three (and sometimes TWO!) wheels. The car I regret most selling--it went to Japan in 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtDark Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Love it/hate it looks. Exclusivity (you don't come across these very often). Awesome power-to-weight ratio. Great everyday driver but still can make you soil your pants. When I graduate from Tech I'll be picking up a used '01 for about 25K. Keep dreaming...

Allan Songer Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 BINGO!! 1965 Ford Lotus-Cortina. Mine had a Cosworth bottom end, Venolia pistons, A pair of Weber 45s and was a full 1600cc. 190 horsepower in a car that weighs 2200 lbs (lots of aluminum bits on the Lotus-Cortina). There were less than 1500 of these made from '63-'65. Euro "saloon" world champion as driven by Jimmy Clark. I pulled mine out of someones back yard in '83 and did a full restoration. Sold it for $27,000 to a collector in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
