It's 1977 and this is the all out best performance car america can come up with at the time.

With a 488 cid v-10 it puts out an earth shattering 316 choked out hp and 372 ftlbs of torque. Because this is the performance car of the future, it has a FIVE speed manual transmission.

It's got a 3 speed auto and you know it.

I've never understood the desire to make a FD look like a Porsche. It just... not my style.

Some company made a kit for the Toyota MR2 Spyder which looked like a Porsche and it looked really good. Though let's be honest, the Spyder isn't really a looker as standard.

Here we go, Gemballa kit:



In other news, for some reason I didn't think these actually existed...

Maybe back when the FD wasn't Porsche level yet, same thing with the SW20 MR2s, they hadn't hit their desirability stride yet.

I think it has something to do with the whole Japanese tuner style that brought us kits like the Pandem Boss.

The "problem" with the FD is that it has exceptionally good bones, anything you do to it will probably look good, everyone who modifies one thinks they're a genius

They have a naked shell, which are rare but not impossible to source. It's CF so doing buzzsaws and brackets like on Binky is a no go.

Finding an original mg xpower/detomaso mangusta drivetrain is nigh impossible so i'm curious on what they'll do in between novaxx rants.

I have vague recollections of Richard buying an X351 Jag XJR to daily drive with the intention of using that supercharged V8 when the Jag rusts enough?

Since watching Harry's Garage I've really come to like his Espada. Wiiiiiide and low and long with a spectacular amount of glass, especially his with the custom roof.

Somewhat related, I want a Falcon XB/XC van down up Black Interceptor style. Or a Ute. I mean, I want the coupe, but those are getting rare, and it’s been done more than a few times.

The Hot Wheels Legends car show was in town this weekend. I got to see some cool cars so now you get to see some cool cars. Unfortunately it was packed so photos were a bit limited but here are my favorites.

The P1800 is such a drat good looking car and this one was flawless.



I have no idea what this is (there was a sign but I forget) but it sure was neat. Look at those tiny little doors.



My best of show was this '49 Ford body swapped onto late model BMW underbits. I have a total hard-on for vintage metal with modern touches like aero, wide body and deep dish wheels, so this was right up my alley.









Runner up and honorable mention to this rad bozu kei truck.





No honors or recognition for the pretty sweet Chevy OBS with an amazing interior. You seemed cool until I met the owner and his Three Percenter tattoo. Instead you can piss off.

My son has joined the world of automotive insanity by purchasing a vehicle with his own money for the first time today.




$300 Inspected ‘97 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the venerable 4.0. We drove it home on a borrowed battery because I didn’t have one that wasn’t backwards as far as the terminals, and tomorrow he’s buying a new battery and serpentine belt.

It will be perfect for going camping/hunting and hauling crap up to our woods property.
