I just discovered this new forum! Like another member, I would like to post some pictures of my first car which I bought this summer from working.
Sorry about the BBCode photos, but I couldn't get the forum to embed them for some reason?
Its a 1978 Datsun 280z With a chevey SBC 355 that started out its live in a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

That thing must haul ass :D

The photos come up oddly because you tried to embed links from a slide show. You need to embed them as .jpg files or just upload them to VK.....

It sure does :D although its not too great on the highway here in Texas since it has a TH-350 three speed in it. Its wound up pretty tight at 65. I'm not very far from SH130 where the speed limit is 85 mph, but I have yet to take it over there yet since it still has old tires on it and I haven't gotten to do much work on it... I do wonder how it will do cursing at 85 mph for the 120 mile stretch of road I just don't think that will work out very well with that three speed...

The old hot rodder's saw is SO true-"If enuff Cubic Inches are Good, Too Much are even BETTER..." The 280 was a NICE car, but emissions crapola, & increasing weight, & all the "Goodies" they tended to get loaded down with, meant their Tongues were Hangin' Out a lot of the time..

Amazing car Joseph. Up here they turned to rust dust after about 5 years in the salt. Very nice.
