[Closed] Photos now posted of two FM and two DM beauties...

And here is one more FM beauty (PIC)

What looks like smudges are reflections. This baby REALLY shines!

Very nice ! That one looks great.

Ah yes, the purple version. I love mine! I'm really happy they correct the stance.

Me too Bob.

I cancelled the pink challenger after I saw the stance.

Tony, Is this the turquoise version? The pictures make it look more blue.

Twilight Turquoise

Great work as usual Tony! I really love the 71 El Camino in this color combo!

Tony, awesome photos as always. I can't tell you how many times your pics alone have convinced me to buy an image. I say no I don't want that car then see your pics and say I gotta have it. Nice work.

Great pictures as usual Tony.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Reviews, especially the 48 Sportsman.

The In-Violet color looks good on the AAR....

...on the down side, I'm disappointed in the Camino. They put a 14" tire on a 15" rim. In '71 Chevy intro'd the Sport Wheel which was a 15x7. The F60-15 was the shoe it wore.

Yeah Tony, my wife says you cost me too much money. 😉

Thank You For The Great Pictures

Since everyone is talking AAR's in some of this thread, I thought I'd share coincidentally While we have all been seeing pics of the new FM AAR cudas,
My father in law passed to me a collection of old Road & Track magazines
from 1970 thru 1978. R&T Usually covers a majority of European cars, and
they are all in these, but there were some very in depth articles about the
first 1970 season Trans Am race, and in another a report on the last race of
the season.

In these there was lots of info not covered in any of the really good books
about
these races. It appears that experience and having systems dialed in wins
races. Imagine that. the 1970 Chevy teams did not win a race, nor did
Pontiac. The Bud Moore Mustangs dominated most races, and won most
outright. They had three years to dial in their cars, and they also had the
more powerful engines. AMC/ Penske won a few, but they were not fast
enough, And AMC was not equipped to provide Penske any tech assistance
with no performance office.
likewise for the Camaro's and the Pontiac Firebird Without the Penske team
Chevy was way behind on money and support for their remaining teams. The
cudas were very fast,
and could best the Mustangs except they had at first, issues with the A833
fourspeed tranny's. Apparently Chrysler told AAR and Gurney that the A833's
were bulletproof, as they were used in NASCAR without any issues ever! Well
in NASCAR, you don't shift much, in Trans Am you do regularly, the
transmissions always seemed to be a problem early on. After the tech team
consulted Mopar drag racers, they found that, yes indeed the linkage used for
NASCAR fell apart in the quarter mile runs requiring fast regular brutal
shifting. Changing the linkage, and shift parts to those reccomended by
NHRA Mopar teams solved the problem, but two races were over. Next, The
AAR's kept
blowing connecting rods through the block. The Keith Black preparred 305"
engines were fast, and given no restrictions, they could catch the Mustangs.
Problem. the wet sump oil system. at high RPM's and hitting minor bumpes,
or curves, would starve the engine of oil pressure, even a second or two
without oil, and the high
strung engines would blow. The AAR teams never did completely solve this.
AMC and Penske had this issue too. The Ford guys had worked this out last
year, and for this season NEVER had an issue, that is a big reason why they
won and did so much better than anyone else. AAR teams had an excellent
proven dry sump system, but the rules did nto allow this. (For 1971 this
would have been allowed with new rules for next year). For the Dodge
Challenger T/A, the issue was rear
end problems. they had a very creative design that just did'nt work. after a
look at the Plymouth AAR design, in a Chrysler mandated info trade off
between the Plymouth and Dodge teams (which neither team wanted to do,
and was very strained, and difficult for both) The Challenger was fitted with a
rear differential setup like the Plymouths. By the time these issues were
getting understood, Ford had won all the races they needed to claim the
championship, and it was just a matter of watching Parnelli Jones, streak
across the finish line in his bright grabber orange #15 Boss Mustang.
