Even the names sound great with the classics, be it model or the engine. Like that pic posted had a ''440 Magnum'', just sounds intimidating, almost makes me feel insecure. Same goes with our muscle from all players. Pontiac's 'The Judge' always made me laugh.

Not sure if you are being ironic, but "The Judge" moniker came from Laugh-In comedy show sketch. BTW: 440 Magum was Dodges version ..440 SuperCommando (Plymouth) 440 TNT (Chrysler) |

Cheers for the info. I wasn't being ironic. I just pictured someone waiting at the lights and hearing a rumble, then looking over and seeing 'The Judge'

The coupe picture I wanted to place in my post was the same colour as my mates, but the picture was way too large for this thread and was unsure how to resize.
This is the link of the pic I wanted to post: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Chrysler_by_Chrysler_CH_Coupe.jpg Shape does look the business in white too though! |

This is one older car I would love to own even though it is far from standard:

Now of course when you look back you realise they are a great design, and really stand out. And that's probably why there's so few around now. |

i used to get a ride to work in a not all that old(about 10 year s) totally standard poverty pack xw falcon, 3 on the tree factory, off white, and it was good car , even bog stock the old 3.6 falcon 6 used to go alright, the bloke that owned it was a front end mechanic and a good bloke, (hello Kevin ). The old cars where much better in a lot of ways than people these days give them credit for. |

I bought an unlicenced green VG coupe in '94 for $845 as a young fella, 245 column shifter, fixed it up then got the special permit to drive it about 150kms out to the farm where I could use it as a 'farm rocket'. It had been driven down from Darwin in a real 'fear and loathing' type run by 3 guys who had left the floors covered in bullet cartridges and beer bottles. I didn't care - it looked so cool!
The day approached and my girlfriend took a tow rope and her 253 WB ute to tow the old Val when it would inevitably die on the way out. Then something amazing happened, the coupe with it's 245 left the V8 ute in the dust for the whole trip! I loved that drive, no licence plates, bomb of a car, every time a road train went past the windscreen wipers were blown right up to the top of the screen and I had to turn them on to bring them back down. This is as close to the Road Warrior as I've ever done in my life. Only in the '90's... Awesome fun, bring on the Wasteland!
