ROTTING MUSCLECARS

[Bunglebus]

UK "Muscle car" (in looks anyway): Vauxhall Ventora



















This doesn't seem to be rotting as such but hasn't moved in years now, my knowledgeable friend who used to have a '78 says it's a full-size (8 litre?) V8.

Don't think any of these are V8 Tigers, likely the Alpine version:

Looks like some decent bodies to deal with Russ! An A/c and non.

All Alpines. Tigers had 'flat' vertical tail lights while Alpines had these swept-back versions. This blue one looks like the one Sean Connery drove in &quot;Dr. No.&quot;

The gray one is a 71 ss floor shift/console/auto car, but is being used for parts for the blue one. My father in law started working on them but they've been sitting in the same spot for 12 years. He passed away in january and my mother in law gave me the cars and about 20K worth of parts, with the promise to finish them.

Oh don't kill the SS.

[russgt]

It wont get killed, I've got enough parts for 3 or 4 cars, but since the blue car's body is in pretty decent shape, I'm going to use the best parts on it. I dont have the original motor for the gray car but I do have the trans and 12 bolt.

I would love to finally do an SS Russ. Shadow grew is not a bad color on a Nova either. Plus the fact that it's an A/C car is nice.
