Post by: Captain Virgil Hilts on August 04, 2008, 02:18:50 PM: 64 Impala SS, 409/425 4 speed. Was a clone, not an original car, the original small block and automatic were gone when I bought it. Absolutely bad car. It only got about 6MPG, because I never let the two Carter WCFB carburetors close. Sold it to my brother, and bought a brand new 1980 Z-28 4 speed car. It got about 14 MPG, but between the payments and the insurance, it cost more to keep. I sold it 18 months after I bought it. My brother had already blown the 409 up. Or I'd have had that car back.

Post by: Mustaine on August 04, 2008, 02:48:21 PM: Diablo I got the middle one, but I colored the hood vents with a black permanent marker DOH

personally I LOVED by first car, 1980 Monte Carlo Custom. White with blue interior, console shift, bucket seats, wood grain console and dash, full gauge cluster. Only thing it didn't have as an option was power windows, and the 305. (It ha a 267 V8, i know WEIRD size and way underpowered). If I ever win the lottery I am going to find one, rebuild it to look factory stock, but beef up the drive train and make it a kick-ass sleeper :aok

My father had the '79 version of that exact M.C. Whenever I drove it I'd flip the aircleaner lid over and it sort of sounded like a low compression Ferrari, lawlz.

I had a Chevy Impala with that same engine. I would go into parts stores and they would laugh at me when I told them the engine size. Told one parts guy to go look at the sticker under the hood. Only then did he look it up and was surprised there was actually an engine that size listed in his books.

I called him a moron after I paid for my parts, thats something I would apologize for if I ever saw him again.

Same colour, and probably in a bit better nick than mine was.
(http://www.a9xclub.org.au/web%20car%20images/063.jpg)
Darn thing only cost me 18 grand back in the 80's it's worth a chitload nowadays. COPIES sell for almost as much as what I paid for mine back then.
I've owned three other hatchback Toranas, one with a wild 208 red motor, one with a mild 350 (second favourite! :D ) and one UC with a blue 202. None came close to the A9X for sheer class.

Post by: SD67 on August 05, 2008, 06:19:27 AM: No, because they only made 500 of them each year to qualify for racing in group 3 competition.

chitload is an under statement:

A 1977 Holden Torana A9X sedan that had sat neglected behind a block of flats in Melbourne for 12 years sold for A$192,000 ($221,136) at Shannons Melbourne motor show auction, a record price for the model.

i never much liked the toranas always prefered fords, but i did had a 265 hemi/4 speed cl charger back in the mid 80's for a brief time that i wish i had kept.

Post by: SD67 on August 05, 2008, 06:58:42 AM: I had a nice Ford Hardtop with a worked 302 and rock solid suspension. It was one of the first XA hardtops off the line but the previous owner had done it up like an XB GS. I sold it once I stripped it down for repainting and saw the condition of the front pillars. I wish now I'd taken the time to repair the rust and restore it, they are worth a pretty penny nowadays too.

9 motorcycles before I had to leave Townsville... one Titan 500 with power pipes that would tear arms from sockets in powerband.
2 Motorcycles in Adelaide, (well not sold but "lost" by a junkie ex :furious ) one highly modded CB900 hill racer and one suzuki 1100 EFI turbo straight line beast from psychopathic hell.
Just for the record I'm going to shoot you down now for reminding me of it :p

Post by: crockett on August 05, 2008, 11:07:32 AM: I used to have my used car dealers license so I bought and sold a lot of cars. However one of the first ones I bought was a Suzuki Samurai that I bought out of a backyard for $200. Funny thing was it was about a block from my shop, it started right up after tossing a battery in it and I drove it to my shop. I cleaned it up right away and sold it to the guy that lived across from my shop for $1,200 the next day.

I would have loved to have kept it a bit longer because it would have been a fun little 4x4 and was cheap. I needed the money though, because I was just starting out but I always wished I could have kept that one to play with for awhile. In fact I wish I had it now with the current gas prices..

In 1996 I moved back to Oregon from California. I sold my 1993 Corrado then bought a 1996 Pathfinder for all the skiing, fishing and stuff a Corrado couldn't do. I still have and love my Pathy but I miss my Corrado. :cry

Post by: Reschke on August 06, 2008, 03:19:56 PM: 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais! I got it used when I turned 16 in 1987 and it had about 25,000 miles on the car. I hit three deer with the thing within 6 months of getting the car. My dad traded it in on a 1990 Nissan Hardbody 4x4 Ext. Cab and then gave me his 1986 Honda CRX Si to drive. I loved that little ride.
