OK, seeing as i'm a bit nOOb here and as i'm snooping aboot for a project vehicle, I thought i'd post up a couple of pics of my old car - a peachy little '76 LS.
It started off by being my friend's dad buying this neat little low-mileage 1-owner original & immaculate car, which he used for the next few months to drive to the mines up here. I bought it for $500 after it started running like a dog... The oil pump had siezed.
No matter to me, as after a couple of phone calls I landed an overly "warm" rebuilt GTI motor. I never was told 'exact' specs on it, but it idled like a V8, was a pig to drive in traffic & would quite happily light the front tyres in 3rd gear if you booted the throttle to the floor at 4500rpm...
Don't ask the top speed - I was never game enough to test it with stock suspension & the stuffed brakes...
I had it for a few more months until the drivability-in-traffic issue caused grief - I stalled it in the middle of an intersection & a old sh***ead in a mitsubishi van was reading the paper while driving...
