only vette i think i could own is a 67 stingray fast back coupe

[hmbatrail]

I had a 2007 BMW M Coupe. It was impractical, loud and rode like a buck board logwagon. And I loved it. Just traded it in last week for a 2012 WRX Sti hatchback. Short shift kit, SPT exhaust, AEM short ram intake and Cobb chip. Just as loud (if not louder) but a load of fun to drive and I can haul four bikes and gear.

Looks like a Datsun 210 wagon to me.

Thanks David. Maybe a different year, like 1970?

Holy crap that is a big wagon. Reminds me of the AMC Matador wagon my folks owned.

TT, I've only been around two 70s Vettes in my time. I only rode in one--a bronze version of your picture. It's nice to be able to stick your head out the T-top when a heater hose pops off at 115mph and fogs the whole windshield. Aside from that I didn't find it particularly memorable. 60s models are much better to my eye.

I'm going to go shopping. She really needs Church Boys Racing upper/lower A arms, rack and pinion conversion, front disks to make her safe for long road trips.
She's a beast stoplight to stoplight but I'm thinking ROAD TRIP!!!

We had a 56' chebby wagon before the Nova that came with non-power boost drums rear, disk front. I added a power booster and proportioning valve and life was good. Look at a power boost kit for that car, it is very simple install.

[dooktruck]

yeah i figure when its time to rebuild the front end
i'll just find some donor control arms from a disc brake car and do it all at once
and make it power as well

I know it has been said. KEEP THE NOVA. I drove allot of miles in 70's vettes, a few in a 64, and a few in an 84. The 64 was special, in a quirky, love it anyway, pretty unusual kind of way. The others, not even memorable. As for those mid 60's GM's. MMMMmmmmmm. they can be built to do almost anything well.

Is it legal to tailgate a cyclist using a bicycle on a public road?

Today's theme: High/Low. I'd love to have either, but couldn't bear to drive something like the Yenko.
