you know a car is Bad A$$ when it looks good on a wrecker.


Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

The Mighty 351 C. Great motor and cool car. Correct me if i am wrong but aren't they about 3000#? A healthy Cleveland and a light car makes for long black stripes in the road.

I am a car nut! You running a C6 trans?
