    Looks like he is hiding a dead body in the back seat under the blanket too.......:)

    Is that a Chrysler? 200?

    Hell of an exhaust set up too!

    New member, ex-lurker, first post.

    Hi all. :D

    Pretty commonly available adapters to go from wide 5 or the smaller 4 bolt pattern to either Chevy or Ford 5 lug.
    Beetle based kit cars of that era had very few wheel options.

    Heading into town last weekend to get some lumber and ran across a car show, it is getting to be that time of year. These are what caught my eye, had to stop and take a few shots.

    Meant to post these earlier. Saw this at Columbus Cars & Coffee on Saturday. Some of the MoMers might recognize the guy who brought it out.

    Very nice car. I like the Cortina in the background too. I had a Cortina GT when I lived in Japan.

    I believe it. Thanks for the pictures. IIRC mine was pretty quick. Not as fast as my Skyline GT, but plenty fast for Tokyo traffic. Some nice cars were very affordable back then. I could have had a new '71 Fairlady Z (240Z) for 1200 bucks. The dollar was worth 360 Yen back then.

    Not my pics, my buddy B.A.D. took them. I have seen that Cortina at many events in Columbus, over the years. Driven behind him a few times and damn it can move. Always surprised by its speed.

    My dad owned both a 240 and a 280, US market. I don't remember the 240, but have fond memories of the 280! Shame they are so damn expensive these days.
