"Cop brakes, cop shocks, a 440 plant and it runs on unleaded premium."

I say that because, when I was younger, I bought a 79 Nova from a cop auction in Atlanta for $210.00. Ugly as a runt over Possum, mind you, but that thing would handle. I had a set of black center Trans Am GTA 16 inch wheels(huge for the day mind you) that I installed, cut the springs, lowered it all the way around. With the cop package (Big brakes, sway bars F/R, fast ratio steering box with lots of coolers for oil,steering, etc.) replacing the 305 with a basic 300 horse 350 and that thing would haul a$$. Heck it even had factory dual exaust and the headers from a camaro/nova fit great. It came with bucket seats and a buttload of cop stuff. I bet I had 500 bucks in that car and I loved it. All my car buddies made fun of it but loved to ride in it and drive it. I smoked a lot of hot rod cars in that thing. I called it my "Birth control" mobile because no female I knew of would ride in it. Shame, because it had a cop back seat that would hold a Caddy engine and turbo 400 that was bolted together. Don't ask how I know. LOL.


That, in my opinion, is the bottom of PT. I sold that car to a cop when I was done driving it (about a week after I hit a deer going 100 mph).
