Black on silver.
Very nice, and not bad for your first bit of US Muscle!
How about under the bonnet?

Very nice velle mate, now you got yourself a "real" muscle car :D well done.

Nice purchase... Are you 'Oldmate' from over on fordforums.com.au?

[Oldmate88]

[RAW454]

Man that's awesome Russell. Too cool :cool::cool: CONGRATS!!

Even sounds the business. You won't regret the extra coin - Is an 'investment' not an expense ;) Two days,in, eh - Gotta be loving it.

[Oldmate88]

Yea thats the way I looked at it. I paid more then I planned but I shouldn't loose a cent either aslong as I don't play with the motor to much. Mind you later down the track I wouldn't mind slapping a procharger under the bonnet :D

Unfortunatley(?) I didn't think about investment or resale.
I just wanted one (US muscle car that is).
Doubt if I will recoup what I've spent, but I don't really care, especially now I can actually drive it.:D

[chevguy]

Thats one nice car mate, bought the same motor off greg from geezers, was a little worried about the small cam sounding too tame but yours sounds nice, congrats on the purchase.

[Oldmate88]

Yea the cams pretty small and the idles pretty tame but it just has a sweet as deep note and sounds awesome. Its a great motor I've been giving it a hiding and it does everything right plenty of torque, 1st gear is great fun :D
