My Dads "Toys"

[chevybrat]

Thought you guys might be interested in this. My dad has a 70' SE Plum Crazy Purple Challenger that he has been rebuilding and fixing up for years now. He also has a 75' Chevy Vega that is his little hotrod fun car that he completely rebuilt and is still working on here and there. He has taken it to car shows and won quite a few times...it's not your average vega! haha. Runs about 500HP now and he's planning on doing an engine swap shortly. He also plans on adding a roll cage. In the process of getting new tires and wheels. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. I will try to get some better pics of the Challenger soon...

hehehe.... wow! My dad drives a mini-van.... *the shame*

[chevybrat]

lol my dad drives a 95' ford ranger for his daily driver...these are just his fun cars. Vega doesnt get too far on street as it's more of a show/race car. Challenger isn't running quite right yet...They both sound AMAZING though. He starts up that Vega and people turn and look from whatever they are doing.

[Tink]

Awesome! Lovin the Vega... I'm jealous... wish my Dad had some cars like that!

[87wildside]

Do you need an older brother?

WTF is up with that boat?

[Mikz86TA]

That car pulling the Vette-Boat is nice too. Looks like a rare Cutlass T-Top...maybe a Hurst or 442?

[87wildside]

Good eye Mike. Looks to be a '74-'77. I would guess it to be the 442 because the Hurst would have gold rally stripes. White on white, now thats pimp.

[Mikz86TA]

Pimp X2. A guy here had an Olds that body style. It was primered gray and in need of TLC. But it had a unique hood. There were inset louvers above where the air cleaner would be with the angle backwards. It was a stock hood. Mightve been a 442. IDK, it was a long time ago.

[20Xtreme02]

Cool cars. Now we know where you get your "auto" gene.

[chevybrat]

haha pretty much.

[chevybrat]

Got some new pics of my dad's cars today. He is talkin about possibly sellin his Vega someday for a first gen. s10 and trickin it out to race. I told him he should and let me help him an learn somethin :D Anyway here are the pics.
