73 Astre

[59imp]

here's my 73 Pontiac Astre GT. it's a 350/350 combo, mini-tubbed with a narrowed 12 bolt and a 4:56 posi. 2500 stall converter shift kit and B&M shifter. the body is a little rough and the paint is faded out but i kinda like it that way. N50 15 tires on 15x10 American Racing 200S rims. it's a mild small with a gear drive, so it's pretty snappy but sounds a lot tougher than it really is.... tons of fun though.

That really does look god and in a way it looks like a mini Camero! Especially in the front.

RustyBeerCan, I was thinking the same thing, it looks like a mini-Camaro!
That's a really cool ride, I bet it's a blast to drive.

My first car was a '77 Vega that I swapped a 327 into, back when I was 17. Kicking in passing gear would do "interesting" things to your direction of travel, those puny 13's just didn't hook up! [ddd

I'd love to build another one some day. Yours is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pics.[P

Shea, I don't think you would be "highjacking" this thread if you, at this point, posted a pic of your Vega. Listen, man I miss my first car so much, anyway, c'mon dig one out we want to see it.

Geez, I'll have to FIND one!!!! Then, scan it. No digital photography back in the late eighties, remember!

I'll see what I can do...I'll tell you this much, 59Imp's is MUCH prettier to look at![P
