Time To Build Another Car
 
It's time to plan out another car. Planning and seraching for the car alone will take 6 months. I cringe at the thought of doing Power Tour. If I need to go that far--I'll take a plane. But there are a coupla cases where I might warm up to the idea of cruising across the country:

My gut reaction is to build a pissed-off Smokey and the Bandit 77 T/A Blackbird--With a CB radio. That should make the miles pass more quickly.

My next thought is to merge R/T Magnum wagon underpinnings, interior and new Hemi to a 1973 Dodge Coronet station wagon. Video Screens, Built in fridge, and four fat tires with lots of sidewall. 9 Passenger!! One car and a bunch of us do the long haul together. Gonna need some serious springs.

Either car could be purchased cheaply. Which would leave money for customizing.

Your thoughts?

I love t/a's,but I really like the wagon idea :D Big fan of mean looking wagons.

I like wagons, too. I'm so sorry I passed on a Vista Cruiser at Carlisle two years ago.

Anyway - big block, killer suspension => cruise king!

Smokey and the Bandit all the way. As a kid I must have watched that show 20 times. Buford T. Justice was funny. Love the T/A stance. Build both!!!!!!!

"The god damn germans got nothing to do with it" :D

The T/A would be cool.

Both sound cool, but I think if you really want to stand apart, customize the wagon and make an awesome car to cruise in.

The T/A would be an awesome theme! Especially if we power it with a sick GEN3 motor! :)

Let me know if you need a hnad with the powertrain!

Yeah!! LS-2 with a single throttle body up top with a shaker. Keep it coming. I will hire an artist to pull all the ideas together. Wheels?
