Modified Classics / Retro Appreciation Thread

[Cub.]

My next car purchase is likely to be a modified classic. So, I feel CS is remiss not having a thread dedicated solely to, in my opinion, some of the best cars in the automotive world. It's time to start posting those pics of the modified classics you like the best. Only rules;

- Needs to be older than 1985 (I don't want roll caged 172s in here )
- Needs to be modified

I'll get the ball rolling;

1973 Camaro F-bomb, 1540hp 406 small block. Built by Hotrod mag;

Singer 911 - 425 bhp

Alfaholics GTA-R's

A couple of years past '85, but I love this car and consider it a classic.

Lol! Whilst that is true, the thread isn't necessarily about what I'll buy (I stuck up the f-bomb and a singer, neither of which I can afford ). Keep the pics coming guys, some great metal in here already.

Does it have to be 1985? If you stretch to 1986 we can get some three door Cossies on the go! :clap:
