By today's standards maybe, but back in the 60's they weren't slow.

They still aren't all that bad. I mean they aren't slow by any means. It's not a 9 second fire breather by any means but 14.5's in the 1/4 are still pretty quick. I'm happy with that.

Low-mid 14's in the 1/4 and 0-60 of 7 seconds or less was pretty good in '65. This car wasn't built for the drag strip either.

I consider anything 7.5 seconds to 60 or lower to be "quick". Anything slower just gets boring, though that depends on the car.

New Accords and Camrys can do that... come on.

So what? I don't need to go blazing fast to be entertained.

But "quick" can't be an Accord or Camry. Like, that just defies the laws of car knowledge.

 

[Slash]

Quick enough for me.

Now exciting, that's another thing entirely

Hotness.

 

[Sage Ages]

I hate that thing.

 

[Slash]

I'd like it better if it wasn't slammed.

 

[Sage Ages]

I hate the flames. The ride height doesn't bother me too much, although I'd prefer it a bit higher.

Actually, more than a bit.

I actually read about that exact car a while ago.

 

[Slash]

Flames are a tad much but it still looks pretty good IMO.

 

[Sage Ages]

Wait, isn't that Ferd on air bags or something?

 

[Slash]

No idea. I thought it might be but not sure. First time I've seen it.

 

[playnthru]

More than likely, yes..

It's awesome..me like

 

[Sage Ages]

Yep. Bags.

It was apparently a bit of a turd.

@Cano what do you think of really bright turquoise?

Nice color, generic, outdated street rod. Great stance, though.

Hotness.

Cars like this always make me think about how close the Kustom and lowrider style are to each other.

Yeup. There were, in my opinion, two... maybe three deffinitive steps in making a difference 'tween customs and lowriders in the mid-60s/early-70s: Dayton wire wheels, gold chrome, and years later the murals. Whereas the customs kept on following more "traditional" styling trends.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Exactly. Sometimes I like lowriders but there aren't much that I like. The customs is where it's as. crars with tasty colors, glow, fancy vinyls on it and at times, sweet wheels and car quite low but low enough to make it look good. Depends on the car really.

Fully agree with you there.

Same here even with Lowriders being a HUGE part of the culture here there are not many I like.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I can probably try linking some here if I fin some, but inb4, Cano will diss me for anything that he don't like. lol jking he ain't like that always.

EDIT: Found one. Here goes nothing, since I found it decent enough.
