It's an LJ Torana very well known in Australia but probably no where else.

Good thread Boo. Look what you started.

I loved the muscle cars of the 50's and 60's. I used to race at the strip every. Saturday night.....until I went broke. Costs a lot to build a fast car. Breaking parts is what got the best of me.

Is it just me or is that not the coolest intake ever put on a production car?

gotta love cars from all over...I was checking out the master cylinder on the right side of the car, that made me look twice...the '32 ford is stunning...

I bought a 69 gto in '75 for $1500 and it was setup for the track/quarter mile, was my daily driver, looked like it was going 100 mph sitting still. Pass anything but a cop or a gas station. Dumass me wrapped it around a 12 inch white pine tree driving on black ice.

The 428 has power, mine was out of a corvette.

don't beat yourself up too bad, we all love a ride thruout our life that is the "one that got away"...that 428 was a good motor but it was a ford piece...mebbe a 427...I got a bunch of those motors in my camaro collection...

73 or later...

If I had to guess I'd say 77 because of the stacked headlights

agreed, I stopped caring about american cars after '71...they gutted the power on them...I do have 1 ride from the 80's...it's a GM car that was a limited edition that was the quickest GM vehicle from that decade...anyone willing to guess what it is...they produced 3 variants during that model year...can you rise to my challenge...the guess has to be the right model

Me too for the most part but Pontiac kept it alive for as long as they could and still offered the super duty trans am with a hand built motor,maybe the best they ever made,after that nothing came for 30 years

Is it a gsx?

It looks like you like them black tog1.

The GSX was a 70s year edition. Mine is late 80s.

It looks like you like them black tog1.

It’s not a choice I make but happenstance when I find the car… I’ve got five black rides and it’s quite difficult to keep them all looking pristine when you want to take them for a drive. I’ve gotten pretty handy with a clay bar.
