A guy I lived by four years ago, had something like that, with a 360 in it. Here is a photo, my car is behind it. Fast car, drew much attention...he kept it like this for about 5 years. I moved almost 40 miles away three years ago, he finally painted it a two years ago, then sold it last year to a guy who lives right by me! :beer:

lol that's great haha...it's a small world after all.......i just think the flat black cars with a lil chrome and the solid centerline-type wheels are bad ass...i don't like those wheels on anything but flat black cars tho

i've been pondering it, though, and i think when i get done paying off my mustang, i wanna build a deuce coupe, but with a 354 or 392 hemi in it - and of course in "piss yellow" lol

:haha: (Piss Yellow)

My brother has those solid centerline type wheels on his maroon 68 GTX 440-6, and I have to say they look great on his car. :D

This is you thinking about the car you will make :stirpot:

That is the ultimate bad guy car!

The primer black muscle cars always remind me of the gto that was in the Punisher movie.

In the 80's there were a lot of low buck muscle cars in the hands of the youth. We could not afford all the aesthetic niceties that go on today. And of course street racing was just as popular then as it is now, maybe even more so. performance, if you could call it that over shadowed aesthetics.
The fastest cars always seemed to be in primer!

The ones in primer are the ones to watch out for too because,they have no expensive paintjob to worry about ruining,they are balls out and black!

My '71 GTX is about to look just like that. Someone started to strip the paint about 25 years ago for a repaint that never happened. Thank goodness it was stored inside. Anyway, I plan to hit it with a coat of flat black primer and get it back on the road. A show quality paint job is planned, but I've got other cars to finish before this one, so it will be a driver for now. Might have to keep the slot mags and N50s on it, too.

My first car, way back in 1990, was a '73 Charger. Originally it was Petty Blue but, I stripped it and spray-bombed it with rattle can black primer. Looked pretty cool with black vinyl top and opera windows. And, of course, I wish I still had that car. It was Ziebarted to death and only had a little rust in botton quarters (New England car). If only the internet was around back then...I would have known a lot more... :cry: I kept the engine (440hp) and tranny (727) from it though, both non-original to car. I have a picture of it somewhere around here, I will look for it.
