Hi all I'm Jason i live in Mackay in Queensland in sunny Australia. I don't have a car yet but looking at a few at the moment. Probably looking at selling my current 4x4 ute at the end of the year and buying a muscle car. Looking forward to talking to you guys and gals.

Welcome aboard jason, so what sort of muscle car tickles your fancy, what ever it is, it will certainly put a smile on ya face.
cheers chris.

Just as long as your not thinking of taking a muscle car 4 wheel driving, although.....

Love alot of cars too many to mention really ( holden ehs, monaros, novas, chargers, darts, impalas, falcon gt, toranas, and i still have a soft spot for my first car a gemini coupe). I'm looking and hoping at getting an Impala 64 to 69 model. Looking at spending about $20 grand RHD 327 or 350. Mildly worked but still streetable. Neat but not a trailer car. Will be my cruiser and get to shops as i have a work van. I will need the car to drive at the moment but in the future will go for an overhaul and turn into just a weekender.

It was a 1600cc bored out 100thou, flat top pistons, ported polished, blueprinted and balanced, extractors and a 55mm sidedraft webber. The thing was quick for what it was but drank like a fish.

Hey there, I also had a 1979 Gemini with a piazza turbo motor that my lovely husband built and installed. It was pretty good back in its day - won plenty with it, like fastest female 3 years in a row at the 4 cylinder nationals, and most powerful 4 cylinder at the summernats on the dyno thingy.

Man I miss that car - I should never have sold it!

But I do love American Muscle Cars though.....

Hi Jason!

I suppose the Gemini was close to being a USA car as they also had a variant of that body
