Title: Yanks Cars
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 12 February 2010, 16:57:15
Just been scanning some old pics in and found this.

Belonged to a mate of mine.  Typical yank, seriously quick in a straight line, noisy, bright and did'nt go too well round corners.

Just noticed my Pontiac on the drive, sorry about the poor pics.

Hmm coke bottle shape doesn't really ring any bells.. :(

Dunno how you would tell the difference to know between a ss and Z28 from the body..
For some reason the Z28 rear looks flatter than the one in your photos??
Must have been a lovely car to drive and hear running :)
Would love to get my hands on one of these one day!!

I grew up in Oregon and owned a 77' Chevy Camero and a 87' IROC-Z (International race of champions) with a 5lt V8. My mate had an old Pontiac Trans AM witha 6.6lt V8, that was mad! ;D
