Hey guys i'm new to the site and I thought i would post up some pics. As is says its a 1976 4 door torana, me and my father started this car about 7 years ago. I bought it off an old guy who had it since brand new. Had 76,000k's on it when i bought it. Only has 114 on the clock now. has a 383 chev in it, 9 inch, turbo 350 transmission, flare kit, 2800 stally, 14 inch dragway 5 spokes, new suspension, new front end, converter to floor shifter, black vinyl interior ( one spot on drivers seat needs attention but isnt bad), MSD ignition, new iron lightning heads, twin 2 and a half inch exhaust. I spent around 12k on building the motor and getting it put it. The motor is still being run in at the moment so i dont know what power it is making. Tell me what you think

Great looking ride. With all that grunt you may need to upgrade the brakes too.

Looks great!
I really like the look of the dark green, flaired 4 doors.
Sounds like it should go alright too :rockon:
