Bulacan Muscle Cars part 2

[kaloi]

my friends vette:




kulang nga lang sa restoration, how much kaya ang selling price ng model na ito sir turbo?

[turbo]

Ok yan, lowest price ng ganyan nagayon ay 700K, going up as the condition gets better.

Meron dito sa Manila, 1979, kalas-kalas, no engine and tranny ang asking 380K pa.

Four months ago, may nabili ang kaibigan ko, 75 TTOP, very bad condition, 700k pa ang kuha.

Ano yang Vette, L82 ba? OK pa ba ang brakes nyan? Hehe, ang bilis nyan pero ang preno ang problema.

Will wait for any development on the 69.

[kaloi]

ok pa naman ang vette, upgraded na ang brakes, 350 v8sb engine, and 3 speed muncie ata, im not so sure, hindi ko inusisa ng mabuti eh. napansin ko lang yung interior, kulang ng TLC. hindi gaanong maselan ang may-ari, ok na basta running yung kotse. ang sarap nga i-restore. pero kung ibebenta nya ng mura ito, malamang ako na ang bibili.

[turbo]

Oo, nga eh. Palagay ko diesel na yon. Sayang pag napabayaan.

Punta ka d2 sa bahay kung gusto mo pa SL. Pag=usapan natin ng maayos. Tinanong ko kasi sa pinsan ko yung A/C. 15k lahat. Pinapapalitan ko lahat ng bago, kasi yong mga 70's na kotse, di effiicient ang cooling ng A/C. Tapos tune-up ko na din, linis brakes ang overhaul ang radiator. Pero kung ayaw mo na ok lang di ko muna papagawa. Hayaan na lang natin na katabi ng Porsche. Hehe. Magpinsan yon, baka magtampo.

Kalaoi, mayroon ako 1 Vette na tinatago pa, ayaw pang magdecide ng may-ari kung bebenta. 1973 Roadster(Soft and hard top). 454 din ang makina. Nasa ilalim lang ng punong mangga. Hehehe.

Kunin mo yang Vette, bihira na. Kaya lang pag Muncie(4 speed lahat), pagbaba mo ng kotse pilay ka na lalo na pagtraffic, tigas ng clutch niyan. Kung functional yung side pipe, ang init sa loob niyan. hehe.

[woodfire]

pwede ipa-convert yung clutch into hydraulic di ba? Meron conversion kits available - Ron Morris at yung McLeod.

Meron din heat insulation na pwedeng bilin dito, yung WURTH heat insulation, the best. Sa Sucat Paranaque yung distribution depot ng Wurth.

[turbo]

Nope, the pressure plate of the Muncie has 12 springs as opposed to the modern day diapragm design. Even the hydraulic conversion will fail. It was designed to handle the tremendous torque of the HO Chevy engines at racing conditions and not stop and go traffiic.

The wraps may work. But Hooker side pipes are designed to show off their chrome finish, so wrapping may defeat its purpose. That is how Americans sacrifice themselves to make their ride fulfil function and form.

[woodfire]

No, not exhaust wraps, but heat shield/insulation that is installed in the flooring. Used it in my E30M3 and old pajero and it works.

[turbo]

Hey, thanks Dindo. I will take note of that. Jack's Eleanor(the 460 with eaton supercharger and nitrous) will surely need it. I am doing a 3" body huggiing exhaust pipe for it.

Thanks again.

[ulrac]

First of all, welcome to Tsikot!

On your query, can you please specify (aside from year) camaro specs you want?

In the mid-to-late 60's the local Yutivo company brought in Camaro's with an inline 6 engine for local sales. There are a lot of these going around in the nearby provinces like Pampanga and Bulacan (PM Turbo).

V8's are a different matter. Its very difficult to source a good old (68-69) V8 camaro. The rarest of the V8 camaros are the Yenko version (high performance big block 427 V8 and limited production run).

Other available V8's you can source "sporadically" in the provinces are the following:

- RS Camaro ('67-69)
- SS Coupe and Convertible (67-69)
- Z-28 Cross Ram with 302 c.i. engine ('69)

The '60s Camaros are the most desired though! You can start by visiting Turbo a.k.a. Deo Concepcion at his muscle car garage in Bocaue Bulacan. He has a souped up '74 Z-28 parked there.

[mini_macky]

sir turbo...what are your muscle cars for sale? my dad's contemplating on getting one eh...he's currently eyeing a 67 thunderbird...any thoughts on this? any comments/suggestions will be highly appreciated

[turbo]

Stay away from the 67 Tbird, it is not a Muscle car. Just let go of a 68 Cougar for only 70k.

I have two 68 Camaros coming in in a week.

0917 5167702.

[turbo]

Ah I have a good one for you.

1971 Mustang MACH 1. 351Cleveland, C6 auto, 9 inch, rear spoiler and NACA hood scoop.
Yellow, very wide tires. only 175K.

[wildthing]

turbo any idea how much carb that would fit a 1961 Chrysler Newport (di ako sure kung v8 o v6) engine?

[turbo]

Carter ang Carb ng 61 Chrysler. Most probabaly 600cfm, mga$80 yan sa ebay.

[zidane21]

meron din po bang pics ng 70's pontiac road runner? late 60's corvette? late 60's camaro? mga pinakafavorite kong mga tsikots -> american muscles!!!

btw, ano po yung name at year model nung muscle cars na nasa movie na "2 Fast 2 Furious", medyo narinig ko yung isa "Yenko" yung name.

[qman]

hows the maintenance of muscle cars mahirap ba mga parts.

Parts, especially concourse quality, are abundant in the U.S.!

The MACH 1 being sold by turbo at Php 175 thousand is already an excellent buy. The 351 cleveland engine is a very good engine with a lot of aftermarket options (cylinder heads, pistons, etc...) to increase power.

[turbo]

The Mach1 is still with me and is rnning and registered. It now has a 4 Barrel Autolite carb and it is newly overhauled. Parts are plenty anf cheap compared no newer Japanese cars. Pretty impressive when viewed personally.

As for the cars of 2Fast, 2 Furious:
1. 69 Yenko Camaro. If it is a true Yenko, it must have the high compression 427 engine rated t 425hp. and a 4 speed Muncie M21 rock crusher transmission.
Yenko is a tuning house not much unlike AMG of benz.

1. The Orange is a 70 Dodge Hemi Challenger, if it is a true Hemi(the close up pf the engine bay only shows a 383 wedge) as they said in the movie, it must have close to 500hp. This car is very expensive, $80k on a beat up example.
