  • What kind of exhaust is on this car? Can't be stock, sounds like glasspacks.

  • @tbirdboomer05 Dual 35 year old glass packs about 36"...

  • Very nice! Reminds me of the '66 Cyclone GT I had in '75 when I was 16 years old. 390 + C6 tranny. Cardinal red with black interior. Buckets. Floor shift. It even had the factory chrome valve covers that said "390 Cyclone GT" on them! It had 47K miles on it when I got it. Garage kept and looked showroom. Had dents in the back from getting rear-ended but was cherry otherwise. 500 bucks. Kept it for four years & sold it for 400. Gas crisis... Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia!!

  • @localcrew Thanks for that GREAT note! Those were the times - $500 would get you a helluva COOL ride! I'll mention the nice Judge cvt or Boss 302 a co-worker had for a summer back in th late '70s - $3000 apiece...

  • you are really good at riding the clutch.

  • @MangoSmoothie16 "Riding the clutch" is the act of neither releasing the clutch nor engagaing it fully. I may "double clutch", and I do "cover the clutch pedal" Ride I do not.Ck out my vids again. Enjoy!

see all
