Some of my friends rides
« on: December 17, 2008 - 10:31:13 AM »
I have a couple friends whom are older than me and we hang out alot. So I fugured I would share their rides with you all!

First up is My buddy Branden Howe, he is 20 and we always go to car shows and hang out..He has 3 Cars here they are..
His first car.. It is a 1975 Dodge Dart Sport that he named 'Darcy'..It is powered by a modified 225 slant six, he blew up the original 6 that was in it..He bought it for $400..

His second car.. It is a 1968 Plymouth Fury III that he bought off of ebay for $1200...It was in a major accident years back and rather than find new metal for it, he straightened all of the original metal and repainted it! Is shows just a little over 12,000 original miles. It has a 3:23 Suregrip readend and a 318 2 barrel backed up to a 727 Torqueflite..The interior,enginebay and underside are unmolested and he has ALL of the paperwork that goes with it..It is a pretty fast car..

Branden's little Brother Dustin is following in his footsteps..He went out and bought a 1970 Dodge Dart custom.. It is in pieces right now, but here is what it started as.. He got it for $250!

And the last one is my Friend Justin's 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS.. Justin is 26 and he has his own detailing service, his work is AMAZING! His Nova is powered by a highly modified 350 backed by a Muncie 4spd and a Posi rearend with 4:10 gears.. I have watched him race it and it took down a new Shelby Mustang, so that gives you an idea that this car has balls!

Cool rides, but I have to say you got the best one LOL!!!  Also that Dart is a great buy!  What is he doing with it?

Nice rides!  I had a '71 Nova SS that was stolen, it was always one of my favorite cars.

Don, Dustin is taking it down to the bare shell and completely redoing it.. It will be midnight blue with a white interior and white tailstripe..And the Slant Six will be replaced with either a 318 I found for $75 or a 383 out of a newport..
