"Retro Fest" event in Moscow. Unfortunately, I missed it. And there was something good to see...
And these cars from the "Trump Cars" garage, I've already seen them (on the Autoexotica 2012 event).
The '71 Challenger 440 R/T:
A year ago, on the Autoexotica 2012 show, I took a photo of myself with it. It also didn't have the front bumper lips back then.
And this black Chevelle SS 454.

This is one of my favourite 'rods at the moment. Attention to detail on it is stunning:
I've actually got a magazine with a feature on the car but these are the only pics I can find online.

1320 is how many feet there are in a quarter mile@Slashfan
Aw, really... yeah, only two headlights.
BTW, can anybody tell me what is "1320"? Something to do with drag racing... Also a Megadeth song.

That is a good looking fox for a notch back. I usually HATE notch backs.A pro touring styled Fox body Mustang. I like it!

Probably the baddest ass hot rod ever built. I can't wait to see it finished.
For those of you living under a rock: 32 Ford roadster with a tube chassis, an all-aluminum Boss 429-derived stroker with stack injection iirc, and a custom 4WD system.

Really the only way it would be cooler is if it was twin turbo

I'd supercharge a Boss motor, and fuel inject it. Especially here at a mile above sea level, the engine will be much happier with forced induction and computer driven fuel management. In fact, considering how crappy the fuel is here, EFI is the first thing I'd do.

It looks cool and scream power but there is WAY too much going on there.
I like this better. I like it to look simple and stock, but have all sorts of internal work done and make sleeper stuff out of it.
For example, this is the current junk* motor in my pickup. You wouldn't know it by looking at it that it was anything other than some dirty, beat up stock motor from the '70s, but if you opened it up you'd find plenty of goodies. The only thing that looks performance oriented was the distributor (Ford racing), wires (Accel SSSC 8mm), and Holley carb. You also can't see my ignition in this picture (MSD). If you have a sharp eye, the air cleaner is Edelbrock, exhaust is the fattest stock manifolds you can get, the heads are (I'll let you guess), and the intake is a 4 barrel 16 bolt from 1969. Just a hint.
*the motor actually has 50k on it since we built it and even though it's built moderately, it's a dog compared to the engine I had before it.

They're not specifically made for the Boss but it can still be done. It's becoming a pretty big deal out here. At car shows more and more custom EFI systems are showing up. My father built his own for his '73 Mach 1. QuarterHorse computer and wiring harness, fuel rails from Diablo or Summit, and the intake will have to be plumbed. Most folks buy aftermarket intakes so they don't plumb an original. But basically once the engine is together and QuarterHorse is dialed in well enough to keep it running you take it to a speed shop with a dyno and refine the engine parameters via a laptop and under-dash OBDII port. Also, if you don't want the system running in open loop you have to install O2 sensors, which require plumbing the exhaust obviously. Also needed, obviously here but for accuracy sake, are fuel injectors (aftermarket usually) and electronic fuel pump.

I especially like it when we're driving in the Mach 1, we can reach down to a knob and choose which performance parameters we want (think Ferrari). It makes passing on the highway intoxicating, to reach down and at the turn of a dial add 80 more hp in a car built in 1973 makes you giggle every time.

It just adds an element of drivability, especially with elevation changes and long distance. It also is a good compensator at altitude. If you make 400hp in Denver, you lose 25% of that power say in Vail. With the on the fly adjustable EFI you can add that power back, whereas standard modern cars the computer doesn't add power back, it just is what it is. I see your point though lol.
