Looks like you are in the majority! I like the big Hulks. I've always wanted an L72 Biscayne.

Glad to see so many others who appreciate the big cars. They really stand out in a sea of Camaros and Mustangs.

This was the biggest one I ever owned. It was a Pro Street car. A 502 Ramjet motor with a Pro Charger got it down the street and was backed by 700R 4 with a 3800 convertor. A shortened Dana 60 held the 16 X 32 Sportsmans on the ground. The color was a Green Pearl but as you can tell it looked more blue then green. It had tan leather interior with a 8 point cage. I bought the car complete as you see it. I sold the aluminum GM heads to a buddy of mine and replaced them with Trick Flow heads. I broke the motor in without the blower. It felt like a mid 11 second car and pulled like a bitch in high gear. A friend of a friend heard about the car and came to my shop and bought it with out the blower. I sure wish I had made a couple of passes at the track before I sold it.

I to appreciate these "large" cars. My first car back in '83 was a 1968 Plymouth GTX convert clone. Car was built by the guy who crashed his 1968 GTX 440/hemi 4sp, Dana 4:10 and swap everything even suspension out. Loved that car, best off both worlds. Space, style and performance. Sold it about '86 to get an education. Knew where it was till about 2017. Then the owner passed away and car was sold.

CURRENT owner contacted me last fall and car is still mostly the way I had it, but turned it back to Sport Satellite.

When I sold it pic and current owner picture from last fall. NOTE grill changed, wheel-well chrome removed as well as GTX badges.

I thought this car below fit the bill of this thread pretty good. I enjoyed checking out the pictures of it so why not share.

After posting that chevy, I found a big boat muscle car I wish I owned. It is likely the best one I have ever seen. Someone got real lucky as its sold.
