It's big, 19' 8" long, 4600 lbs dry. I'll drive it maybe 100 miles a month. I think my biggest gasoline problem will be old gas in the tank. These old boats are really cool cars to drive. I enjoy it & have pretty much already sold all my putters except a handful.

The ghetto boys at school all want 22's on it. One of my gear-head students offered to install hydraulics. I told them I'm an old white guy...no dubs for me.

The asian Honda tuners, can't believe the engine displacement...particularly when I was about to drop in a 455 (I told them 8 liters & they were pretty incredulous). They don't understand torque.

That's because they've never had their head slammed into the headrest as a result of stomping on a V8 rear wheel drive car!

327, 396, 400, 427, 454, 455...the magic numbers!!! (I'm sure I left one or two out..you get the drift)

Yep, great engines, I was just never a Mopar guy. Mainly GM, Ford for the Mustang only...hence the ones I did list.

Don't forget the 421. My dad had a 66 bonneville with one of these beasts and was the first car I ever drove. Still can't believe my dad turned me loose with that thing.
