Bulacan Muscle Cars part 2

[woodfire]

Nice to see that this thread is alive again. Am also looking for a nice muscle car na pwede gawin project to keep me busy. However, since my time and technical knowledge are limited, sana semi-restored na or at least running condition (even if engine is not orig). So if anyone knows of a mustang, charger, cuda or 69 camaro that's for sale, would appreciate letting me know. Thanks.

The key is to scout something running but still cheap. As such, try the outlying provinces particularly north of metro manila (pampanga and bulacan). Also try scounting in davao, bacolod and iloilo.

If you're in a hurry, just send a PM to Turbo. He can help you source one.

hmm 6-9 in hi-way isnt that bad after all... i was thinking maybe 4-6 hiway and 2-4 city driving hehe

its time to start saving up for one

ay dapat me gasolinahan sa loob ng kotse? ka lakas sa gasolina niyan... pero ka ganda...

[woodfire]

given the high cost of fuel nowadays, vintage classic muscle cars are most likely to be relegated to be weekend cars, car show cars, or club fun run cars

pero tama si Turbo, a well tuned well maintained muscle car can give you 6-9 in the highway...

One thing, if you want to own a Muscle car, do not complain of gas mileage. It is a given, but mind you, my Benz 109E 2.3 consumes more gas than my Camaro.

Furthermore, it is gasoline that makes power. the more fuel you burn, the greater the power. But you must keep your car in the best condition to reach maximum efficiency or else you will just be wasting fuel.

You should experience the feel the accelertion of a well-tuned V8, it is excillarating. But it is not the only thing that matters, getting thumbs up response from the young crowd and the old crowd is the real ego booster, that is what we get when we ressurect these cars.

Muscle cars prices are on the rise all over the world. Most are into the $30k ranges and those are not the show cars!!!

hmmm. looks like thread suddenly got quiet. Hi group. fan of restoration here too and more than willing to help out newbies here. am also in the process of restoration and have had some very interesting stories in the field involving theft of classics in bulacan...fast talking salesmen...and the sort that would be of benefit to the group...would like to hear from the new muscle car fans see if my two cents worth would be of help

[Flagg]

Muscle car theft?! Deym! What cars were stolen?

[turbo]

Funny, it is the first time I heard of classic thefts in Bulacan.

Could be the Bote-Bakal people thinking they are junks.

The agents, they are a given, if they can fool you, they sure will try.

So you have to know your cars!!

[midinite]

let's just say there was this car someone tried to sell me...won't disclose who or where in bulacan and when i asked for papers he said nawala. further investigation revealed kaya pala wala kotse ng iba yun. diba parang theft na rin yun. the original owner had not seen the car in almost a decade and it was indeed stolen pala from under his nose...then there is also the rumored story of the couple who took someone's "K" code mustang from the hapless victim's own garage...

[midinite]

unless of course it is a shelby or some noteworthy car that can be resurrected...but for everyday muscle cars...diba parang maganda pag ma kabayo na?

[hotrox]

Muscle cars! Am home!

[SNAKE V6]

Woodfire, binenebenta mo ba yun or do you collect those? Wow! Love to own one, mahal nga lang gas...

[midinite]

yup...saw a hemi charger and a 69 427 vette in visayas. used to be campaigned during glory days of the camwreckers, hotrodders, et al. they were with their first owners and in garages waiting for an intrepid restorer.

[Flagg]

Was that a 426 hemi on the Charger?

[midinite]

yup...

[Flagg]

Hmmm, time to save up...

A friend just towed away a 440/RT 70 Challenger last Monday on my tip. I was keeping the car for myself, but I cannot get the owner to sell. Luckily, my friend who is also into Muscle Cars, is realted to owner. So he was able to get the car for himself. Sayang, it was the only car I need to complete my collection. Pero ok lang, atleast it will stay here in the Philippines and the owner mite let me use it, hehehe.

Last car he got from me was a 72 440 Challenger.

Gosh, how I wish I will have a MOPAR in my garage.

[hotrox]

Turbo, keep me in your list in case you have tips on muscle cars for sale in future. Thanks.

Hi Sirs!

i just got a 1965 fastback cloned into a gt350.

im still in the exploring stage trying to figure out what the heck the former ownder did to her.

as far as i can tell, its been resto-modded with an offy intake manifold. different headers and lord knows what else.

there are also three switches underneath the dash and i have NO idea what they do cant find a NOS bottle so at least that rules that one out.

i know it needs some work to get it into a nice condition but it is in running condition.

im based in makati and wouldnt mind meeting somewhere nearby if either or both of you are in the neighborhood. i'd love to hear what you think as well as know about the care and feeding for such a hot rod.

i'd take it to bulacan but im noooot quite sure if can make it back
