I had a 74 260z when I was in high school. Fun car. The small block is too much for these. You'll have it spun around backwards when ever you turn a corner in the rain.

Grand national. Badass. But it only came in auto. Gay.

Basically all other 80's cars are worthless. Everything from 72 on pretty much is.

Right now working on a 79 Bronco. I don't have alot of time to put into it which sucks. Only advice I have is make sure you enjoy it. My little brother treats it like work and always wants to knock it out. I like to take my time and just have fun with it.

A little off topic but I have a friend that restores old Mopeds and he can do three a day. He's pretty nuts.
