Mike, that is Barney Purple, not urban aubergine. But with a V8, I think it can get away with the dinosaur association :p

Drooooooooooooool
Can I have a ride? CanI CanI ?

Hehehe, very cool.

is "G R A P E N U T S" too many letters for a California license plate??? :D

Thats not Barney or Urban Aubergine.
I grew up in LA, that's the most popular color at Earl in Compton, its "laverdine"
Great car Mike!!:D
Congrats, nothing handles like a 914.

Congrats!! :D

What kind of V8 is it? Give us some specs on that little beastie. :cool:

I see "I LUV U" plates in your future.

very cool....needs a louder exhaust though.

That reminds me of an outragious 1970 MOPAR color ... from the short-lived Peter Max ad campaign ... pre-dated Barney by a few decades!

<b>InViolet!!! Let's see how many Dodge-hating morons this one draws out???</b>

hhuuuh? happy birthday! that car is over the top! V*8? that is going to be one hell of a tuneup. i still miss your yellow one.

That's a fast California raisin

Happy B-day Z!

Nice car! I have to ask: How quick is it compared to the 3.6?

It's a 283 with an over bore to 292, Rod Simpson conversion parts. Aluminum heads, Rochester spread bore carb, Borla exhaust.

It's quick off the line but needs a little tweaking.....Summer Fun that starts on the 21st of June....God, I'll be 47......

cool. sounds like a hoot.

Is first blocked off or has a 915 been swapped in there? I thought the 350 was the standard on these. Is the 283->292 better suited in terms of gearing?

Man, I want a V8 teener

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!

Okay, so can I come by and take a look see?

!st is Just NOT used....%^B....two schools of thought, you can use a Sporto ring and pinion and adjust the gearing THAT way....or go in and adjust the 4th and fifth to give a lower freeway rpm. Right now it does abour 3,000 rpms at 65mph in fifth......

So I will probably set up another box soon ans swap it out. Standard 901 boxes and plentiful as are sporto r&ps....

Dan....c'mon bye....see the mess....my contractor blew out his ACL and is hobbling around....stuff is at a standstill.....
