could any old American iron come close to matching the reliability of the old Toyota 18r ? my 72celica was north of 300k when it went to the scrap yard then to 20r was unstoppable unlike anything ford could build in the mid 70s or 80s

from a guy who buys snowmobiles lol

But I use my sleds and not sit and look at them. A lot of these cars get pushed around from show to show with well over 1000hp. They don't drive them because they don't want to scratch the 30k paint job.

My buddy bought a 69 chevelle from a guy a few years back that was a show car. He got in it to drive it home and I swear the guy was going to cry. You can't drive this car on the street he says. He even offered to deliver it in his trailer! Fuck that.

Burning rubber the whole way home...

Jesus.  What a bunch of nice vehicles fucked up.  The last car is pretty nice and looks good

You can't appreciate what has been done to those cars in a picture. It is a lot more than shiny paint & big rims.

Most can't in person.  Sections have been cut out of them, sections put in them, hand made panels and roofs. Custom hand fabricated frames. The last car was incredible in person. The bodywork was phenomenal on it. Look how the door fits.  Most people don't realize how poorly 50, 60 , 70's cars  were built. They are so used to seeing them restored beyond what they were when new.

On all the cars, besides the bottom car and the flat black mopar looking car, I'm waiting for 50 or so midget clowns to start pouring out of them.  Great craftsmanship of course, but in the end they fucked them up.

oh I would be proud to pound the shit out of any of them

Problem is, most of them are trailer queens, that never even get started    Some of them have engines in them that don't even have any internals.  Fuck that

They are like women. Ask 10 different guys  get 10 different opinions.  I don't care for the huge wheel craze.  Now it has just gotten crazy , ike you said, makes them look like clown cars. 

There were Harleys down there with front wheels so big they looked like those old fashioned bicycles you climbed up on and road with a top hat.
