from my treo,

It's got a Chevy v6 in it... (the red 73)

His name is Willie Moon (that's him with the yellow shirt) & I'm hoping he will post on this thread more info on this car..
Jim can't get enough of it!

Hay! Willey,  I was just wondering if you have a zipper in your cars? I guess you just unzip one motor and zip in another? Ha! Ha! I got my pony running this weekend 9/2/06 and I took her for a drive. may I say, sweet running car. you can hear the turbo singing when I'm driving down the road. She's ready for paint now, see ya around town!

i would like a turbo or pro charger on my red pinto.. i`d like something with huge power yet still quiet and not overly cammed up as my other cars are..
