Who are you, and what else do you own?

[RICHARD PAYNE]

Very. Very. Jealous... Mainly of the Charger and the Firebird, but those are all right up my alley.

I love chargers and owned a 1969 SE with a 318 when I was in my early 20s.

Yes the S/D was an after the fact install made shaker intake functions ram air 4 heads with hurst shift kit on the manual tranny and of course no ac lol. It was originally 455 with 4speed no ac with black interior. Was the first car my dad bought new in 76 sat in a barn for 12 years and then I pulled out and restored. First car I ever had was a 69 SS 396 Camero that I bought for 6500 restored and sold for just under 30k which paid for the vette and the charger. Kicking myself though thing would have been worth so much more and I loved that damn thing. There up in the machine shed at the farm now but I think I have some pics laying around the office here that I can scan somewhere.

my dads 1969 firebird 400 convertable with factory hurst 4speed positraction and factory hood tachometer...is still in the family and nicely restored...my brotherlaws turned down many a 50k offer for her

YUM! I have some friends who restored a 1968 Firebird a few years ago. The black paint job is so over-the-top perfect and glossy that it's hard to photograph. Once they finish their '78 Trans Am SE, they will probable convert the '68 from "original" to "slightly modified." They rarely drive the '68 because a black car in Oklahoma isn't really drivable without air conditioning during much of the year (oops). Plus they kept the inline 6 with the 2 speed Powerglide transmission. People often look at it say, "I bet that does one heck of a burnout" and Edie's response is "Uhhhh.... no, it's almost impossible to break traction." They have a spare 400 & the appropriate hood stored and waiting for some TLC.

Keep that OHC motor in there! You can hop those puppies up pretty good, throw a 4spd behind it and shock alot of people. Not sure if the company is still selling products but there was a stroker kit out there for the Pontiac 250ci OHC motor, they make camshafts for them, headers, intake manifolds etc. I loved my old 250, plus I like that "WTF" look when you pop the hood They had provisions for cross-bolted mains, a super stout bottom end stock. I want to build a turbo version, there is a supercharged Sprint 230ci motor on the web, minor mods (all things considered) and making 411hp!!

He could have went with a better blower, efi, better camshaft would EASILY gain some power. Just shows the potential of those engines. I think it'd be neat to shove one in a 3rd gen

pops was white and still is...but the rarer convertable...his does and always did sit much lower than the one pictured

The bike averages out my owned vehicle mileage to about 38 mpg lol. First tank in the VX got 15, all short trips around town so far.

I've had my VX now for just over a week and have polished the headlights, fixed the driver window slow/seal issue (widened the track and lubed with silicone spray), added a small piece of felt to the larger recess in the center console (in front of the "cup holder"), cleaned the Dragon air filter, mounted my cell phone for nav and music access, and had just a blast driving it. Also, every day someone asks what it is (it is debaged) and some have been very disappointed that they can't get one. All have been impressed by its condition and styling. Next weekend I am taking her up to my brother-in-law's cabin in the mountains north of Silverthorne, CO. My first chance to take her off-road!



I would like to paint or otherwise redo the front of the hood. I've seen some nicely done jobs on the pics on this site. Need to think about that some more. If you're in the Front Range of Colorado and want to meet up for a VX meet/off-road run, send me a message.

It may not line up very well with the black painted around your headlights, but this may be an option:
