My "NEW" DD and it wears a bowtie...

[Co-brat]

I just picked this up last weekend in Portland Oregon from a female that owned it! Anyway its a '78 and its probably one of the cleanest ORIGINAL ones I've ever seen. No rust anywhere, not a dent or a ding in the body. It's got a mildly built 355, 9.5:1 compression, Dart iron eagle heads, highrise dual plane edelbrock intake, Holley carb, "small" comp cam, headers, dual 2.5" all the way out, rebuilt trans with shift kit and 2500 stall, 3.73 posi rear. I will be cutting the Z28 tails off and running Nova style turndowns behind the rear tire as well lowering it with Eibach springs and swapping out the wheels for some Weld Draglites

Crappy cell phone pics (its all I've got for a camera)

Idle vid: coming shortly

Sick! nice find for sure. Can I ask how much?

 

[RSbeast]

Sick 'Bu!

its pretty much screaming for a turbo 5.3.

 

[1Bad04Mystic]

Pretty cool, I agree, I think turndowns would be perfect

 

[Sn95Snake]

Sick DD!

My grandfather still has his '77 Monte Carlo he bought brand new. Red on Red lol.

Car is mint!! Not the most efficient DD, but who cares as long as its comfortable and reliable. Turn down pipes are an improvement....I prefer the pipes that come out slanted behind the tires. You MUST post pics when you are done making changes!! Good luck with it!

 

[VirtualSVT]

That's badass.

 

[OH3BLKSVT]

Damn that's clean!

 

[hoamskilet]

This.

Or a balanced and blueprinted small block with a 750 double pumper and a 3/4 race cam.

It's a DD guys, no need for all that in a DD. :nonono:

All I'd do is the turn downs like you said. Otherwise the wheel/tire combo on it now works good!

 

[Gravik]

Nice. Also curious how much you scooped it up for.

 

[C-Tidda]

Nice purchase.. I would love to have one of those.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It really is as clean as it looks. I forgot to mention that its only got 61,000 original miles on the clock!:banana:

I got it for $4000 and I feel that its worth every penny.

We might be talking about the same exhaust style. The ones I want are pointed toward the ground and then the sorta kick out at a slight angle. I was
contemplating doing a 2.5" steel cowl hood as well but the original paint is so nice that I just can't bring myself to doing it. And yes I will be posting pics of the updated look in a few weeks.

Here's an idle vid:
