The Silver BuickI keep watching the video too :D That sound is pretty much why I don't do 4-cylinders. A 4-cylinder and an 8-cylinder making the same HP, and the 8 cylinder makes that sound.... I'm going with that.

No kidding, I enjoy the horsepower my turbo-4s make, but no way does it sound good. Somewhere between a vacuum and and a boat. LOL

Looky!
Drove it to the new house today. This thing is nuts!
I was in a hurry getting things moved today so, no video this time.
A non-car buddy of mine rode over with me and he thought it was the awesomest thing he'd ever seen. lol

Do the T-tops stay in place? I have visions of them popping right out under any kind of serious acceleration. Excellent that it has seen road miles - maybe someday soon my 'Stang will come out of mothballs.

Did you put mufflers on it or was the 1st trip on open headers? Car looks great have you tried to buff the paint? What are you plans? Originally Posted by BigBlockRanger

Re: BBR's 545 83GT..... it is alive
Did I miss something and y'all named this monster mf'er "Bob" ?
James, I am really pleased you got to drive it over there. I think it sets the tone perfectly. 'specially with the aged, err, vintage, no... uh, dammit, what is the craigslist sales term I'm looking for here... "just needs to be buffed out" exterior!
I'm torn. The black sail panels and t-top trim would make me insane, even as bad as I am, I would have to paint them. The rest of it though, man, I don't know. One side says "make money" and the other side says "they can't be that dumb.. just paint it."
anyway, congrats on getting Bob over there. You didn't really name it Bob did you?

Dude, how is this for neat. One of the professional NHRA funny car drivers that I spoke to this weekend lurks here on BS and specifically mentioned your car as being awesome.
(and he doesn't race a Ford
)
