Now this is a car! Duramax 65' Impala

this is why living in ita if you buy a used ferrari lambo or maserati you'll be ok: nearby I have at least 5 specialists of these engines.
While on the other hand i'm sure i wuold be in trouble if i had an HEMI

But with the old HEMI, you could read a few books and work on it yourself in your spare time It won't be rocket science like the ferrari/Lambo/maserati.

Lets put it this way---The old America muscle is === to banging Marilyn Monroe.  And the new super cool euro rocket Lambos/ferrari's ===banging Kim Kardashian.

Now who would you really want to bang?

The girl(car) who all the presidents men go gaga for?

Or the girl(car) who all the black football/basketball players go gaga for?

I see Bill, even here is difficult to find someone able to maintain or fix the 12 cylinder boxer of ferrari (the most complicated). I have a 4boxer Lancia and even that can be a bit of a problem.
Don't get me wrong on this, no desrespect but reality: when we're talking usa v8 almost every mecanich here can fix it, they're quite simple

Well, it is a Lancia!

What do you expect?

lol true, i had to buy three to make a good one! Also they rust very very easily, but the sound of the boxer is so glorious (metallic and angry) too bad the shitty mielage (def not a prius)

you know there's an english company producing it exactly like the original one?

I hope Diesel hot-rodding becomes the new trend.  TONS of potential as evidenced by that Impy.  Most of the popular muscle-cars are out of an ordinary person's price range..................1 st gen camaros, 70.5 camaro, 1st/2nd gen 455 Trans Ams, anything MOPAR, Chevelle, GTO, 65-74 Mustangs.  Many of these cars are in the low six-figure range nowadays.  For someone new in the market, a big-bodied car from the 70s like a Lincoln Town Car/Continental, Caddy El Dorado/Fleetwood, Chrysler New Yorker or an 80s "muscle" car like 3rd gen F-bodies and B-bodies are a sound investment.

The future of hot rodding, maybe?

JBG do you know how many HP the Cummins turbo engine produces?

[BILL ANVIL]

Diesel hot rodding is stupid. you put diesel engines in tractors and heavy equipment that pull insane amounts of weight, not meant for muscle cars.
