Yank Illness,

[pacerpete]

The only vett to have is the 1963 split window Stingray Coupe.

I'd forgotten about that shape Andy. Your right. They are a gorgeous peice of art.

However, I've never realy "got" small coupes. Evem the Z3M Coupe I always think if your gonna have an impractical 2 seater, then you may as well have the convertible. Those thoughts were originally kicked off with the Triumph GT6 and the MGB GT. While pretty, they always seemed claustrophibic in comparison to there topless breathren.

Therefore, if it has the be a Stingray, then I'm afraid I'd take the "benders" route with this:

Why anybody would take a belly button E type over one of these , god knows ?

[Felix79]

What's a belly button E - Type Pete?

I've seen some right sick yanks today! I've been to Hellingly Festival of Transport in the e30 and boy! There are some weidos down there!!!

Norway is on the 2nd place when it come to US cars in Europe, just behind Sweden. To see a product from Detroit is quite regular here and mostly you see US.Vans and US.Pick ups and plenty of cars from the 50-60 and 70s.

I must say I dont have the biggest interest for them tbh - but there is one coupe from US I want in my garage, and here is a picture of it!

You are right there Eric, the '65 -'69 Corvair coupe is a truly stunning looking car . And very worthy underneath the pretty face. You could even get a turbo engine when Saab were still dreaming of ford V4s
The 60s really was the golden era for Detroit.

[B7]

Here we go then. Don't know (or care) what half of them are but a good selection.

We'll kick off with one I do now (or think I know) 59 Coupe de Ville?

I kinda like this square jaw Caddy look. As above, real Coke dealers ride of choice.

And where did it all go wrong? Some Chevy of sorts!!!


By b7tmw at 2011-08-28

[Jhonno]

I'd rock that 'Cuda for £3.5k..

[e30topless]

that is dirt cheap, !! trev i don't spose you got his number?

[B7]

Derrrr! I've just zoomed in on the photo and he's selling an Audi 2.6 Convertible NOT the 'Cuda.

Sorry!

If it seems too good to be true, it normally is...................

The top Cadillac is a 1960 with the lower fins. As a four door with the long chrome lower strip it might be a Fleetwood or a Deville, but not a Series Sixty Special. Coupe Deville's are two door, as was the cheaper Series 62 Coupe.

The gold one underneath is a 1966, either a Calais or more likely a DeVille.


Both stunning cars. Never mind the belly button Tri Chevy crap - those things were the American equivalent of a Hillman Minx. Cadillacs and Lincolns can be had for much, much less.

The 66 was a sedan de ville. Big man from iror reckons the black was was also a Sedan De ville and agrees its a '60. God we're sad fookers!

[nickso]

This was on Gansta suspension but looked mean as fook!

That's a Plymouth Fury, one of my favourite yanks.

[e30topless]

So much yank scrap ! it's awesome

I have managed to get my grubby hands on some LHD Detriot action, pics to follow

[E30BeemerLad]

I've properly got the horn for Fox Body Mustangs at the mo as they are cheap and can be made to go pretty quick for not too much



I'm fighting with myself whether to bid on this

[E30BeemerLad]

hell yeah

[capri_rob]

I like them but have never been interested enough to own one.

One of my mates has a big interest in these turds and has these models ( not these actual cars - pics just pinched from photobucket )


El Camino - his is green on Magslots - V8 Monster 7 litre I think )

Saw my mate last night - its not an El Camino he's got its a Ford Rachero like this :


Pinched from Photobucket - he's gonna send me a proper pic of his
He's just had a new exhaust system made up - straight through pipes with just a cherry-bomb at the back on each side - coupled with a mahoosive V8 he isnt too popular with the neighbours first thing on Sunday mornings

[e30topless]

I ended up Buying a Camaro,

sadly it's the V6 and not the Z28/Iroc-z, but it was dirt cheap and local, I have enjoyed tinkering with it the shitbox sounds awesome !





since buying this I have been offered a GMC truck, something I have always wanted and of course I need a 4x4 where i live in winter !

[Jhonno]

When's the V8 going in?

[B7]

Look at that! Proper rock and roll!

Tip on those hideous fog lights. Convert the right hand reverse light using red LED bulbs. Keeps the tail lights looking "in unison" but complies to MOT standards. Plus you still keep one reverse light and one THAT SIZE should be ample! An old MX-5 Eunos trick I have used.

Agree with the tie wrap king though. Get the IROC block in ASAP.

[e30topless]

When's the V8 going in?

I'm on the Lookout !
this one sounds very well for a V6 and pulls quite nicely despite being only 170BHP ?

I simply love American cars (sorry!)

Anyway we recently competed at Prescott Stars and Stripes weekend

Next year will host La Vie en Bleu on 24/25 May 2014 which will be as spectacular with crowds/stands/etc.
Talking to the organiser Sunday night I ventured an entry in Herman- well it is sort of French Blue and Buchloe is fairly near Alsace & Lorraine (?)- which I think was well received.
If I do get an entry - I will let you know how we get on- as well as comparing times (I got down to 52 seconds in Butch whilst not getting out of second gear). Should Herman beat Butch around this really twisty event?

[tcbracing]

Sorry that Charger is simply awful IMHO!

wrong year and superficially customised- has wrecked its value!

[Speedtouch]

^^ Now, that is nice. Sounds pretty quick too - 8.1 litres FTW!

From the Ace Cafe last night

Enjoy
