1952 Chevy 2 door sedan, currently undergoing a motor swap (350 with fuelie heads, Edelbrock performer RPM cam and intake combo, hedman headers and full x pipe 2.5" exhaust, 750 cfm proform bodied holley double pumper, and topped with a dual stage Nitrous works plate system, mated to a muncie 4 speed via a Shieffer aluminum flywheel and clutch assembly putting power to a ford 9" wearing Firestone wide whitwall DOT approved "slicks")  I'm hoping to run in the 11's or better with that car. 


 


Then there is my daily driver, a '99 Cavalier Z24 that has a K&N drop in filter, H&R springs, custom fabbed 2.25" cat back exhaust, spec clutch, and BFG drag radials that runs 13.3 in the 1/4 at 105 mph.  And I just had the car in for a front end alignment (it was way out after the spring install) and put on an OBX stainless header and going back to the track to find a new personal best with that car (hoping to break into the 12's this year with it on the stock engine).

I have a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis. Nothing special, does have a High Output 302 in it. Car is in nice shape for a north east car, no rot on it.Plans are to eventually make a sleeper out of it.Just driving the way it is for now.Also have 98 Blazer LT.Loaded up just the way I like them sunroof ,and leather interior.This is my daily driver.Both of these vehicles have been reliable and trouble free.The Merc has about 200,000 miles on the car itself,slightly less on the engine.Previous owner maintained the car quite well as he drove long distance for his job.I have owned 5 of these cars and have good luck with them.

This is the first time I've tried this here so forgive me if I do something wrong.
Considering the fact that you started this thread then I'm going show you what's in my garage.
She is known as "The Enforcer" simply as a nod to the Diplomat's that served as public servant's for around 15 years. She is a 1980 Dodge Diplomat S Type with a 318 and a 727. I've stepped up to headers and a 2 1/4" exhaust. I've got a 391 rearend that's waiting to be put in and the the measely 1 barrel is being replaced (mid August) with a 360 cast intake and a Thermoquad. Right now she looks mean and sounds like the angles are being cast from heaven! This is the second S-Type I've owned but this one is being kept.

I just figured it out myself. Browse your PC to find the photo and then hit the green button marked "Upload". That's all there is to it.

'67 Fairlane 500 hardtop, garaged all her life, yanked the 289 and C4 and now finishing installation of 800 hp 514, built C4, etc, etc, etc.  Has ladder bar and coil overs out back with a Moser 9".  Street legal.  Hope to have it done by the end of the month.  Computer says she'll do 9.80's, which should be interesting, because my fastest car to date was a '66 Corvette coupe, built 454, 4 sp, which would have done some 12's if she would have hooked up...
