I can't believe all the "Mustang lovers" around here. So many aliases with "mustang" or "stang" around.

So I thought that it would be cool to see members special rides - not every day drivers.

To start things off, here is a "real" muscle car. :D:D:D

A numbers matching 1969 Plymouth GTX with 440 engine. As the ads used to say back in the day: GTX - That's short for "Adios!".

That's a nice looking ride, but this is a Model railroad forum & not a car or hotrod forum.
Sorry to be a an old fart, but I put a pc. of my metal art on here a few years ago I was shot down.
I don't know what the other people are going to say about cars on the forum, maybe a few police cars, but, that's all.

Well this is General Discussions section :confused:
 
What the heck, some pictures of people's cars are not suddenly going to overload the forum. I don't think picktures of metal sculprute is so bad either. As long as we know what the the thread's about, we can read it or bypass it. I think it's an interesting topic. This used to be my ride. Now I just have a boring Suzuki Grand Vitara, although the Mazda Miata is still pretty good. :)

Didn't mean to rock the boat. I saw a few other "off topic" postings and thought it would be nice to see some "special rides".

I'm a member of a lot of car forums and we often post "off topic" postings for "variety". One of the ones that pops up often is "other hobbies" :D

With a 50+ RT daily, mileage is important. But I still want it to look good. At least once a week some kid thinks I would want to race him......(it isn't an Si)

So here's one on day 1 as delivered and another with some p'shop tweaks. 3.5 years and 62k miles later, my overall average is 30mpg.

Well here's one of my four, a 37 Chevy. No clear coat paint. No computerized engine controls. No air conditioning. No automatic tranny. Just something I built myself and drive it an average of 6000 miles a year. My everyday car is a 68 Ford Custom 500 2 dr sedan.

Full house 250+ Chevy 6 backed with a Muncie 4 speed and 57 Chevy rear end.

To keep this train related I'll add that I have the Sylvan Models hump back sedan which is this car and I am building it to match the full sized one of course.
