Hi Everybody,
I have been a member for a long time, but this is my first post, so here´s a little intro! Im huge fan of Muscle cars, specially MOPAR, and vintage racing. Im located in Argentina, were Dodge made a few models back in the day, including Valiants and these GTX´s pictured here. Valiants came with Slants 6 engine and the top of the line GTX´s had the classic 318. I believe they don´t share any body components or accesories with the american version, so I makes eveybody wander why Chrysler designed a whole car for just this latitudes. We also have a Race category -Turismo Carretera- in wich these big GTX´s, Chevy Nova´s, Ford Falcon and a Rambler based local design called Torino, race every two weeks at fully croweded tracks (there´s actual one Oval track with a total distance of 4 km = 2.5 miles, but the rest have plenty of slow and high speed curves)
Now they become really sought after vehicles here, and there´s a few guys tuning them. Here are a few images!
I hope this post is not too boring for you! But these is one of the reasons I posted today:
Im planning to go to Good Guys Columbus. Im visint a friend of mine who lives in West Virgia and I don´t want to miss this event! Any body can help me by giving tips and advices of were to stay, the show program, etc?
Im not going to have a car... Does anybody goes there Motörless?????
Thanks for this great site! Its definitively and inspiration to keep working on cars!!!!
