Thanks, you've got a pretty nice car yourself. I love black cars. They're a PITA to keep clean but once you're done they're beautiful.

Nice car,

Hey Sunblitz, I dunno if it's the pic or what, but I swear that your car looks like it has a clear hood on it.......tell me it's not....otherwise, I know that I'm eventually going to have to buy another hood, cuz that's sweet.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Especially yours Chuck. For Jim and everyone who is wondering it's a 305 TPI, auto, 10 bolt 2.73. This winter I'm planning to port and polish the plenum, cam swap, and a 3.42 disc rear.

It has 88k miles on it. It was just painted four years ago under the delamenation recall. The guy who painted it didn't do a very good job. There are small spots on the hood and roof where it looks like he didn't get even coverage of the clear coat so it looks dull.

So what's it got under the hood?

Nice, but the front wheels need to be turned the opposite way in pic #2 & #3...just my opinion...also I LOVE the color. As they say: once you go black, you never go back!
