I have a 1970 Challenger Rt 440 4 speed. It’s something that takes a lot of attention to drive. It’s 500hp and the engine and carburetion are always changing. Heat, cold humidity or turning on the ac! You definitely get lots of attention! And they truly are a joy to drive you definitely are connected to the car!!!
56 year old dude here... Grew up with these muscle cars when I was in HS (Fords, Chevys, Mopars, even AMC).. Gotta admit, I can appreciate your 1000 hp Camaro, but got kinda bored with it... Now, you have a 69 Camaro and damn... I'm watching every one of them! I wish I could get me one now.... Just not in the cards, but will always dream of it and I'd be one of those old dudes that hits you up to talk about it at the ATM.. ha, ha! Thanks for the ride!
MitchF150 - I am 64 and my first car was a 1970 Mach 1. Had a lot of buddies with Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs etc. I totally relate to everything you said buddy. I also am not in the position to own a classic muscle car but I still love em.
Man I’m happy for you I just got a 77 camaro “retired drag car” now I like your Chanel more with the classic and the original car from the Chanel freedom rocket
Absolutely love owning a classic. I have a 65 mustang convertible, 170ci 6cylinder, it's a cruiser but it turns heads and starts conversations like you said. I love taking the family out and just driving. Easy to fix and maintain.
Classic cars are good the novelty will wear off. Have to 67 fastback Mustangs one for the street and one for the strip 86 Fox and last of all 14 GT500 that I drive all the time like the air conditioning in the new cars reliability now the 67 definitely a head Turner. It's nice to have both. Freedom rocket and that twin turbo ZL1 we're both nice cars also we need to have them all the 69 Camaro is badass my all-time favorite from a Ford Guy. 👍🔥😎
But she's a yank, which is bottom of the barrel copared to other nationalities and in terms of feminine traits, character, family values, over 50% divorce rate..etc etc..
Boy do I miss my ‘70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. Neighbor had a ‘69 Camaro Z28 302. Love them era of cars. Goosebumps galore every time I see these cars still on the road. Enjoy brother!
I have a 65 mustang convertible. The only thing I hate is I always smell like exhaust fumes/gasoline after I drive it. Other than that, no complaints .
Bros reaction to other dude doing a burnout in his 2020 pos was priceless literally exactly how I look in my 82 Firebird with the stock 305 like bro relax it’s no power house but will still pull more girls than your car ever could and still gains me x10 respect in anyone’s eyes who actually likes cars
As a kid I can remember my dad always holding his beer or mixed drink between his legs even in a manual car. Guess none of the old cars had cup holders!
Buy one life’s to short A 67 Chevelle is a great choice Make sure it’s a SS with a 396 and has a 4-speed transmission Having owned a few classic cars myself I want to get another one myself
53 year old guy here. I also grew up with these in HS. I had a 67 Pontiac Firebird then with a 326HO. Today I have a 67 Pontiac Firebird 400. The best part about these is every time you go somewhere people want to see the car and talk to you. Getting a tank of gas takes an hour because people keep walking up! I would love to have a new TransAm from TransAm Worldwide as well. But I don't think I would get as many looks as I do with my 67. Good video. Thank you!
I love the conversation part. Just got a 66 Chevy Biscayne 383. Fired it up and two older gentlemen came running out the house. I though something happened. They had seen it before and wanted to chop it up. Cool vibes
I’m a 28yr old female living out in LA and my dream is to own a classic vehicle!! Preferably a 66 Ford Mustang or any hard body sport drop top with good bones.. I just think it’s so fly and really speaks to who I am - I truly believe I was born in the wrong generation; I’M GOING TO STAY ON MY SEARCH! Thank you for sharing your love for this ride it definitely seemed like a vibe - I felt like I was there with you guys lol ALL LOVE & CHEERS TO TIMELESSNESS ✨
There’s not many females who really care for the classic cars, and it upsets me cause they don’t understand the passion we have for them, the work we do to them. but you are a dime! I wish you nothing but the best for your search! Keep on searching Queen👑!
Classic mustangs are really great cars and you’ll be guaranteed at least 2 people will stop you to talk about it or compliment it anytime you drive it around but classic cars require a fuck tone of care and maintenance plus even with all that maintenance they can still be unreliable so make sure to stay on top of everything when you eventually own one, good luck on your search!
Tips from a former 'Cuda owner. *One* : have a reliable daily driver for when your precious won't start or the weather is crummy (or both!). *Two* : get vanity plates that say something feminine or slap a girly bumpersticker on it, because if you are out with a guy - you will cease to exist because everyone will assume it's HIS car. Plus, it's fun to watch their reactions when they see the sticker/plate and realise the car is YOURS. *Three* : your precious is a fussy baby and demands attention and most of your paycheck. Also; if you are doing your own maintenance - forget fancy fingernails, and say hello to scrubbies and grease remover for skin care. *Four* : be prepared to say, "No, it's not for sale" for-ev-er....until you get old and finally do sell it, because it's easier to drop down out of a classic CJ7 than to open doors heavy enough to be on a bank vault and haul your butt out of bucket seats about a foot off the ground. *Five* : wouldn't trade the experience for the world. 🤣
So much cooler than everyone just buying the latest and greatest stuff.. my dad had a hugger orange 69 camaro as 350. One day I’ll have a hugger orange camaro also.. beautiful car brotha🍻
Kameran Spahn my uncle has a 69 hugger orange coupe that he swapped either a 427 or 454 into, thing has like 5000 miles on it... would love to buy it from him one day
Im 58 and cant go anywhere in my 67 Cadillac convertible . Same thing happens to me ,people in modern cars wont leave me alone . They nascar me all the time on the road lol ..
I have owned a classic car as a daily driver for 21 years and I love it. What you describe is to the T. The biggest nail on the head you hit was about people starting conversations over the car. Great video. Great description!
This is from hard hard work. Congrats on getting one of your dream cars I'm almost done restoring my 1941 Willys 427 Brodex heads & 2 Dominator street car I'm just waiting for my flywheel & maybe next year I'll meet you & drive up from Toronto
When is Lauren getting that ring bro! She's supported of you, been with you long enough to feel the ultimate Love and commitment from you? JS is time 👍🏾
When you get headers, run them open for a few days. Give us 30 seconds of video of the car in idle with open headers. When you record, position your car in a place with good sound resonance, like in an alley between buildings.
Classic would be awesome but the 5th Gen ZL1 is my dream and one day it will be in the driveway. Dreams come true when you put in the work to make em so. My dad wants a 66 Chevelle.
You will noticed the reactions of others. Flexing from the young, Pouty Faces, The look but don't get caught, and then the nice ones when I drive my 70' Nova, The thumbs-up, The rubber neck, Jaw drop, The yelling out "nice car", I get filmed with cell phones.
It made me so happy when you couldn't really think of things to hate about the car. :) Great video! As a fellow Camaro enthusiast/owner I enjoy seeing someone who is just happy with their cars.
If you change the muffler I recommend flowmaster original 40 series I have them on my 55 and there is nothing like the sound of them paired with headers, it makes the cam stand out a idle!
@Morning star Garage Haha if ya wanna play that game, 26" glasspacks. And no 40's original mufflers are louder than the super 40 series Deltaflow (check their website)
@@danmyers9372 I'll pass on a lumpy cam. a cam at around 490 lift is good. Got some good lope but not all choppy and shitty sounding. 1 7/8" longtubes and either Flowmaster 40's, 44's or glasspacks.
You definitely fixed the throttle! Good Lord! The first clip when you let 'ir eat, the car behind you became a distant memory! LoL 🏁 I have a 1971 Camaro that I'm working on getting going again. I got it in 2004 and while I don't get many miles to the gallon I get a whole lot of smiles to the gallon. Keep up the great work, Bro.
I bought my dream 1965 289 fastback a couple years ago. Like you said classics look and sound bad ass! I never thought people would come up to me with awesome stories about their history owning a old school car. I guess that is a cool bonus. Cheers and enjoy life dude.
I have a '13 Shelby GT500 and yeah, it's not a classic (yet) but with the work Shelby put in, above and beyond, a regular Mustang, it is a pretty rare car. It is the last of the stick shift Shelby's and that is why I haven't sold it. I like the live rear axle and it was the last Shelby that Carroll Shelby had a hand in designing. For the past 6 years we've had it in Germany and it is a blast driving it the way it should be driven. In 2023 we are coming back to the US and, I know, she will hate me going back to "65 MPH." Super video, right on point, especially about driving the car. You have it, drive it and enjoy it!
That 69 Camaro looks beautiful brother infact it looks wayyyyyyyyyy better than any modern vehicle you see on the road today. I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 in it with 209,000 miles on it and still going and it looks beautiful for a 96.
Im 23 and own a 1972 Chevelle, I do agree not having cup holders does suck ha but besides that there’s nothing to hate about it. Always puts a smile on your face when you drive and is always a head turner. Maybe check out black widow exhaust, I’m thinking about there mufflers for mine.
I had a real deal 69 SS 396 Camaro about 25 years ago in my teens. Brings back some memories. Now... currently sitting on Three Chevelles (68, 69, & 72), and a 72 Monte Carlo. I took a hiatus from the "old cars" for awhile and had late model stuff. Now, in my early 40s, find myself just wanting these old classics again. Have no fear though... half of mine are LS powered, the other half old school Big Block Chevy. On the mufflers... anything but flowmaster please. I am a big fan of Pypes Race Pros. Enjoy your car Nick, since I first started following, I had hopes that you would get a 69 Camaro and make some new memories with your dad.
Look up PYPES (Performance Years Performance Exhaust Systems). They are in Hatfield, Pa. They have a variety of custom fit kits for most classic cars. They have a 3 inch system that goes over the axle and maintains the 3 inch pipe all the way through. Most 3 inch systems force you to dump at the rear axle or they shrink to 2.5 or 2.25 inch over the axle. They're prices are very competitive, too.
If you get headers, make sure they are ceramic coated. Big blocks give off alot of heat, making them very unpleasant to drive. Everyone does flowmasters get a set of magnaflow you will love the deep tone.
I never regret to put a Flow Master Force II on my ´68 Camaro. Thou´ the droning keeps unscrewing all Fasteners & Screws on the Dash- board, over and over...... ;-)
I enjoy this video bro. You and your lady are dope. Love the love. Looking forward to riding out with my wife like that when I get my 67 firebird back from the shop! All love
Nice 69! I owned one in the 90's. Looked good but drove like a hay wagon. I began with updating stuff from the ground up: subframe bushings, suspension, door pins, and other hidden things. It came with a good running 283 but that wasn't sexy enough. I had a 327 built with all kinds of cool parts. That ruined the reliability. I had it painted and the body shop did a horrible job. Eventually I lost my fondness for it. I sold it for my downpayment on my house. I have never regretted it, which comes as a surprise to people. I do regret not keeping it a turn-key daily driver. Now I own a 66' Chevelle. It looks nice and is a driver. I'm going to keep it running and enjoy it.
GuitarmageddonZL1 Great Video I definitely agree that your 69 Camaro SS is a Neck breaker and I'm glad you fixed the throttle link and gas pedal so you can get the most out of it
The cup holders! That's one thing I hated about my '81 and '78 Camaros. They didn't start having them until the 3rd or 4th gens. Glad you got your dream classic Nick! Some day I'll have mine, a 1980 Z28 4 speed.
my big block im running long tube headers and just some cherry boom glasspack sounds like an ak and spits fat flames the best sound in my opinion but cant wait to see the flow masters
The 69 Camaro has 2 cup holders built into the car from the factory! Open the glove box door and you will see two round indents in the door. Meant to hold two cups or cans of soda, of course only when parked.
Look at Circle Racing 2 piece Billet aluminum Rallye wheels with disc brake center caps, 17"×8" & 17"×10", I have a '68 SS/RS big block with that wheel set up, it keeps the old school look, but a modern wheel....Your '69 is a sweet ride!
You are right about it being a conversation starter. I bought a 66 mustang and everywhere I go someone has to always to talk to me about the car. Or I get someone with a newer muscle car trying to flex.
People chattin you up is good sometimes, not always - everybody wants to talk! But you didn't mention the doors (watch your fingers), many are thrilled by the solid build quality. The solid sound and feel of closing them. I also like manual windows so that an electric motor doesn't smother me. You're right though, quality is engineered to last the warranty, and only the super hot and mint U.S. cars will be collectible.
When upgrading on the Camaro please keep the stock rally wheels , it's the look or if you want to try something see if 69 Corvette wheels fit the rear being that they are10 inches wide and maybe you want more tire on the road later on without changing the look.
Hey I like my '91 Z28 you know there aren't many 3rd gen Camaros around "91 and '92s all pretty much look the same. I run a 350 tuned port injection engine hooked up to a 700 R4 transmission with a shift kit and a low stall torque converter, also true duel exhaust headers to tail pipe. It's a fun,fun,fun car to drive and fast enough for me. I've had it for 22 years , I'm 73 and probably will own it until I die. RockinRonny Ontario Canada.
You'll always get from people "I had one of these when I was younger....." stories. It brings people back in time to a simpler place. Most 80's songs bring me back to 1988 when I was a teenager (Whitesnake, Poison, Skid Row, etc.). And I own a Delorean too so I can go back to when I was a teenager.
Vacuum secondaires don't open via the throttle linkage, they only open when there is enough vacuum/load to open them. Revving the engine in neutral won't/shouldn't open them even if you put the pedal to the floor. Mechanical secondaires work via your throttle linkage.
One thing I would hate but the same time I’d do it for personal insurance, parking away from other vehicles to avoid door dings. You’re not gonna drive the car to the grocery store and park it right up front with everyone else. You’re gonna park far away and away from other cars.
I built a 1970 Nova, 250 straight 6 to a 40 over 327 Loved it!! And yes they are so easy to work on. No computers or driver nannies you actually have to drive the car. I get the whole technology thing is happening but nothing beats cubic inches and compression.... Your car is fucking beautiful!!
Gorgeous new ride. Classics are easy to work on but some parts are hard to find. I got a 79 z28 black badge I've been slowly building. The big block is definitely a huge improvement for the 69 series. Mufflers stick with what you got or go loud with flow master 44 series or monster series. I ran electric exhaust cutouts on mine with hooker header long pipes 3 3/4 stainless exhaust
Difference between a real car and new plastic one, they are made of real metal, no computer to tell it what to do, its power driven lol. Would love to see that at the shows
I would rather get run over by your classic camaro than own your 1000hp camaro. You sir are one lucky guy. Old school > new school
GARZA 93 😂 best comment
Never sell that beauty bro lots of luck man
How old do you feel like when it comes to driving a 69 Camaro?
@@jonathanriolo2578you will feel the power in the rear, and you almost always have to turn it like a truck🤣
You get more compliments and looks from every generation when you drive a classic than you do when you drive a hyper car
I have a 1970 Challenger Rt 440 4 speed. It’s something that takes a lot of attention to drive. It’s 500hp and the engine and carburetion are always changing. Heat, cold humidity or turning on the ac! You definitely get lots of attention! And they truly are a joy to drive you definitely are connected to the car!!!

Hey mitch, go get yourself a muscle car
My dad got his 67 Camaro in his 50’s for $12k off the original owner, you can get one too just gotta look for it!
Old cars can be a little warm in the summer but if you'll roll your window down it's not so bad, fresh air is good for you anyway
When I got out of the Air Force in 1970 I bought a 69 SS Camaro with a 396 4speed. Garner red with white interior. Sure wish I still had her...lol
Man I’m happy for you I just got a 77 camaro “retired drag car” now I like your Chanel more with the classic and the original car from the Chanel freedom rocket
Absolutely love owning a classic. I have a 65 mustang convertible, 170ci 6cylinder, it's a cruiser but it turns heads and starts conversations like you said. I love taking the family out and just driving. Easy to fix and maintain.
Couldn't agree more with everything you said. I'm a Mustang guy. But when it comes to classics, I don't discriminate. I love them all.
definitely cooler then a supercar.
My dream car is a 67 el camino, I've always wanted one for as long as I could remember.
You gotta keeper Lauren's a easy-going laid-back down to earth girl
We all love Lauren
Classic cars are good the novelty will wear off. Have to 67 fastback Mustangs one for the street and one for the strip 86 Fox and last of all 14 GT500 that I drive all the time like the air conditioning in the new cars reliability now the 67 definitely a head Turner.

Like bro we are not the same muscle car😂
Cars pull car guys, not girls, nice try though.
This is by far my favorite car he's ever owned. I could watch this all day every day.
Hard to not like the 69 Camaro... Goes a lot better now, sweet ride!
As a kid I can remember my dad always holding his beer or mixed drink between his legs even in a manual car. Guess none of the old cars had cup holders!
Man your not lying when you said it actually feels like your driving a car i feel that way when I drive my 84 cutty 🤟🏾
Sounds awesome now you can really tell the difference. My dream car is a 70 chevelle ss 454 ls6
It’s so cool that your girl supports you on having a classic car…my wife rolls her eyes every time I mention that I want a 67 chevelle…😔
Buy one life’s to short
A 67 Chevelle is a great choice
Make sure it’s a SS with a 396 and has a 4-speed transmission
Having owned a few classic cars myself I want to get another one myself

HARD to beat and ol classic Chevy...Looks,price,and durability and they hold there value.Nice video bud.

Sounds cool as hell. Just make sure you have a lot of money. Those old girls will cost you a small fortune in maintenance. been there done that. lol
So much cooler than everyone just buying the latest and greatest stuff.. my dad had a hugger orange 69 camaro as 350. One day I’ll have a hugger orange camaro also.. beautiful car brotha🍻
Kameran Spahn my uncle has a 69 hugger orange coupe that he swapped either a 427 or 454 into, thing has like 5000 miles on it... would love to buy it from him one day

Hey bro mind your business when it comes to those things. Everyone has their own time for that. Just watch these vids for the car
As soon as they marry the relationship will go to shit...JS
My Mom bought a new '69 Camaro a few months before she & Dad split up. It had the 350 /w a 2 BBL. It did at least have A/C
Back when I was ten years old that car came out. It was a quick car. Saw a lot of them at the Saturday night street races.

Have no fear though... half of mine are LS powered, the other half old school Big Block Chevy. On the mufflers... anything but flowmaster please. I am a big fan of Pypes Race Pros. Enjoy your car Nick, since I first started following, I had hopes that you would get a 69 Camaro and make some new memories with your dad.
Look up PYPES (Performance Years Performance Exhaust Systems). They are in Hatfield, Pa. They have a variety of custom fit kits for most classic cars. They have a 3 inch system that goes over the axle and maintains the 3 inch pipe all the way through. Most 3 inch systems force you to dump at the rear axle or they shrink to 2.5 or 2.25 inch over the axle. They're prices are very competitive, too.
If you get headers, make sure they are ceramic coated. Big blocks give off alot of heat, making them very unpleasant to drive. Everyone does flowmasters get a set of magnaflow you will love the deep tone.
I never regret to put a Flow Master Force II on my ´68 Camaro. Thou´ the droning keeps unscrewing all Fasteners & Screws on the Dash- board, over and over...... ;-)
I enjoy this video bro. You and your lady are dope. Love the love. Looking forward to riding out with my wife like that when I get my 67 firebird back from the shop! All love
Should i buy and use a 1969 Cadillac coupe deville as my daily driver?
I wish my 69 Camaro played that guitar riff every time I started it!
Gotta love that big block tork
That face he has everytime he floors a car and concentrates is Hilarious!😂 it’s the same face everytime. Just straight face, little tilt to the left 😂
Absolutely love the car! Love the sound, the shift chirps! Proper hot rodding car!!!
Nice 69! I owned one in the 90's. Looked good but drove like a hay wagon. I began with updating stuff from the ground up: subframe bushings, suspension, door pins, and other hidden things. It came with a good running 283 but that wasn't sexy enough. I had a 327 built with all kinds of cool parts. That ruined the reliability. I had it painted and the body shop did a horrible job. Eventually I lost my fondness for it. I sold it for my downpayment on my house. I have never regretted it, which comes as a surprise to people. I do regret not keeping it a turn-key daily driver. Now I own a 66' Chevelle. It looks nice and is a driver. I'm going to keep it running and enjoy it.
GuitarmageddonZL1 Great Video I definitely agree that your 69 Camaro SS is a Neck breaker and I'm glad you fixed the throttle link and gas pedal so you can get the most out of it
Love the content, you will make many new memories with it, due to health I gave up all but one of mt classic cars. Enjoys it ......
My dream car is a 1969 Dodge Charger
Mines a 1970 amc rebel machine
Decked out like general lee
1970 Monte Carlo
Thing I love about classic cars they are easy to work on plus you can swap out many radios and speakers as you want.
You should look at Spintech mufflers. They sound pretty awesome on most cars I've heard them on. The 9000 series sounds wicked!
I have a set of those on one of my muscle cars, they sound nasty !!
Loving the classic content I really do hope you get a 2nd gen split bumper Camaro in the future
Why headers?
Center dumps will give you adequate flow.
Without all the problems you are keeping it for the street.
Great 👍 show ! I own a 81 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan which I enjoy driving and it puts a smile on my face .
Ive had a 69 camaro model since i was born its been a dream car ever since
Oh my god that has to be one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen
Thanks for not keeping it a garage queen and takin her out and driving it like it needs to be driven
The cup holders! That's one thing I hated about my '81 and '78 Camaros. They didn't start having them until the 3rd or 4th gens. Glad you got your dream classic Nick! Some day I'll have mine, a 1980 Z28 4 speed.
Glad your happy Nick ! I love my 69 RS/SS to and yep your right people sure love classics they wave 👋 to me in my town lol 😆
my big block im running long tube headers and just some cherry boom glasspack sounds like an ak and spits fat flames the best sound in my opinion but cant wait to see the flow masters
Oh hey, just remembered, keep an eye on your fuel line, the old cars don't like the new fuel and eats up lines and gaskets.
Great video! Love your car. I love your girl’s reaction every time you punch it! More videos please! Great job with the car.
One day i will own a 69 camaro that is my dream car. For know i am building my dream truck though.
Project Gearheads i have a 67
@@musclecarsdaily3020 thats nice i really like the first gen camaros but my favorites are the 69's.
A 69 Corvette 👌😌
The 69 Camaro has 2 cup holders built into the car from the factory! Open the glove box door and you will see two round indents in the door. Meant to hold two cups or cans of soda, of course only when parked.
Look at Circle Racing 2 piece Billet aluminum Rallye wheels with disc brake center caps, 17"×8" & 17"×10", I have a '68 SS/RS big block with that wheel set up, it keeps the old school look, but a modern wheel....Your '69 is a sweet ride!
Vacuum secondary carbs... junk flow master blows to. The drone and they kill horse power
Take the ss badges off since the car has z/28 stripes on it, just an observation, still the best camaro ever made
You are right about it being a conversation starter. I bought a 66 mustang and everywhere I go someone has to always to talk to me about the car. Or I get someone with a newer muscle car trying to flex.
lol her face at 12:47 😸She is like you did not just say that!
People chattin you up is good sometimes, not always - everybody wants to talk!
But you didn't mention the doors (watch your fingers), many are thrilled by the solid build quality. The solid sound and feel of closing them. I also like manual windows so that an electric motor doesn't smother me. You're right though, quality is engineered to last the warranty, and only the super hot and mint U.S. cars will be collectible.
I couldn’t find my dream car, a 72 cutlass but we bought my aunts old 66 gto 😁
cool car i have a 68 Camaro... you should install the shoulder seat belts Safety first BRO
Our 68 has the factory shoulder belts, they never get moved or used lol just lap belts
When upgrading on the Camaro please keep the stock rally wheels , it's the look or if you want to try something see if 69 Corvette wheels fit the rear being that they are10 inches wide and maybe you want more tire on the road later on without changing the look.
Hey I like my '91 Z28 you know there aren't many 3rd gen Camaros around "91 and '92s all pretty much look the same. I run a 350 tuned port injection engine hooked up to a 700 R4 transmission with a shift kit and a low stall torque converter, also true duel exhaust headers to tail pipe. It's a fun,fun,fun car to drive and fast enough for me. I've had it for 22 years , I'm 73 and probably will own it until I die. RockinRonny Ontario Canada.
You'll always get from people "I had one of these when I was younger....." stories. It brings people back in time to a simpler place. Most 80's songs bring me back to 1988 when I was a teenager (Whitesnake, Poison, Skid Row, etc.). And I own a Delorean too so I can go back to when I was a teenager.
Nick put borla pro xs mufflers they make it sound amazing
I LOVE your channel and the things you do!!💯
I need some more time with my 85 Vette before I can really come up with a list, only had it home for a couple weeks
Vacuum secondaires don't open via the throttle linkage, they only open when there is enough vacuum/load to open them. Revving the engine in neutral won't/shouldn't open them even if you put the pedal to the floor. Mechanical secondaires work via your throttle linkage.
There's a lot to love right up front.
That goes for the car, too.
One thing I would hate but the same time I’d do it for personal insurance, parking away from other vehicles to avoid door dings. You’re not gonna drive the car to the grocery store and park it right up front with everyone else. You’re gonna park far away and away from other cars.
I'm literally going to ride a cruiser until I can get one of these, your car is seriously handsome!
I built a 1970 Nova, 250 straight 6 to a 40 over 327 Loved it!! And yes they are so easy to work on. No computers or driver nannies you actually have to drive the car. I get the whole technology thing is happening but nothing beats cubic inches and compression....
Your car is fucking beautiful!!
With a few exceptions, modern cars are like appliances.
Life is short. Drive classics and rods!
Gorgeous new ride. Classics are easy to work on but some parts are hard to find. I got a 79 z28 black badge I've been slowly building. The big block is definitely a huge improvement for the 69 series. Mufflers stick with what you got or go loud with flow master 44 series or monster series. I ran electric exhaust cutouts on mine with hooker header long pipes 3 3/4 stainless exhaust
Difference between a real car and new plastic one, they are made of real metal, no computer to tell it what to do, its power driven lol. Would love to see that at the shows
