No Grey Poupon stains in that interior!
Yet. Depending on who drives it, there might be some Grey Poop-on them seats soon.
I really like that car.
Car pics too cool not to share

Both purchased by Somali daycare owners.
A yellow Enzo ??? no wonder they sold it .
If I'm honest, I don't find it a particularly appealing car in any color. The 250 GTO, on the other hand....that there's a 5 Burgundy Boner car, for sure...

It was an LA based build.
Once the 7.25 blew up I put in an Abody 8.75 with 4.57 gears. Those are hard to find, and pricey!!!
Eventually, I bought a low mileage 75 Imperial with a 440/727 combo. Stroked it out to 528”, built the 727 with GOOD internals, and put in a Strange Dana 60 with 3.73s.
Bulletproof combo in a lightweight A body.
Anybody seen this?

Between just starting the engines, gas leaking out of the expansion joints in the fuel tanks before they heated up at speed, primitive avionics and probably a hundred other things, its amazing they got those planes to fly.

Cool story from when cars were really ingrained into society . Another one I've heard of is U-2 spy planes need assistance when landing , a chase car was used to be the pilots eyes and keep the wing tips off the ground . The Air Force had 1968 SS-396 El Camino's originally for this . Later Camaro , Mustang , G-8 , and Chargers were used.
They still do this, only now they use Teslas.
I've posted this beore, but the EPA even got in on that action back then.

The Superbird That Killed Leaded Gas Found at a Government Auction for $500!
Used by the EPA to chase commercial aircraft, this 1970 Plymouth Superbird is an important part of history that was nearly lost.https://www.hotrod.com/features/1970-plymouth-epa-superbird-aircraft-chaser
That looks like it would be an incredibly good time!
@Squatch I watched these two from Steve Mags today. He's seems to be doing fine here, back to his squirreliness. I think crawling around in the junkyards or a day gasses him . That, or maybe he's like me and can't walk by the espresso machine without making a stop.
Yeah, that's the biggest representation of the "Steve of old" that I've seen in a very long time. Good to see!
As for choice of cars represented, you did that for my benefit, didn't you?
Thanks!!!
My favorite Russians are doing more cool shit. These guys come up with some interesting things, and I love the see through stuff.

He's an interesting guy, isn't he? I swear that some of the stuff he tries actually qualifies as an improvement to some of those vehicles.
When in doubt....
.... throttle out. Man that 4 cylinder sounds angry. I bet that thing is a blast to drive.
