Two Lane Blacktop had a flip front but a 454...it was also used as Falfa's car and provided the sound for Bandit's TA

Bwahahahaha! I tried to get a buddy to re-market his CL ad and told him to add a hot chick looking pissed and a nerd looking at the car then...

No hot rods (with mirrors) rolling right now but previously was a drum key on a chain. When I was a kid it was fuzzy dice. [IMG] Sent from my...

7 Minute Car Wash Tyler, TX. I always liked the Neon(not dodge) wheels
