Default Some old school muscle

My dad got the cars out the other day and cleaned them up a bit... it was a really nice day, so I snapped a some pics and recorded a few vids to share. These cars are full frame off restored, everythings been gone thru. Interiors look showroom stock, but the drivetrain and suspension's are highly modified. Enjoy!!

The camaro back in 2001 went 9.5 @ 146, that was with the 468 that is in the black chevelle currently, but on a 200 shot. With the new setup it should run low-mid 8's being there is another 400hp on tap. The Nova weighs in at 2800, so it "should" run low 10's. Were still debating a F1 blow thru setup on it. The chevelle I would guess to be high 10's.

Thanks everybody for the compliments! Im sure dad will enjoy the read next time he is on the computer!!

It'd be real nice to these cars out for a cruise. I'm ready for some rides! Glad you posted up the vids though. Nice pics...I love them all but I do favor "small" tire cars so the Nova is may favorite but not by much. The White car is just so badass though.

Yes it would lol! I do think the nova is more up to date per say. The camaro was done when "pro street" cars were in. Ill have to get down to the track when you go next time and watch your ta make a 9sec pass.
