Yeah they are big on the sharp edges thing.

That means PA might be a place to check out cheap vehicles. Let's be real, this guy paid $600 for this 91 K2500. Fuggin 3/4 ton 4x4 cuz it wouldn't pass inspection. He says it needs rockers on the passenger side, and inner and outer from fenders. From the looks of that pic, the rust can't be all that bad, that it's not an easy fix.

And here is what else this guy in PA is saying.

Im mainly buying them for part i want the 4 speed for my stepside and all wiring bc mine is tbi. But the k5 has new 700r4 3 in lift pretty decent interior but body is rotted away in back

And my friend just called me his boss has a 82 4 speed 205 t case long bed 1 ton with blow motor for $350


Seems there are some cheap squares in PA. I'm sure it's cuz people can't get them to pass inspection without work, so once something goes wrong like a trans or motor, they're done, sell it cheap.

Like a 305 is going to do 223MPH without a damned high gear.

Not to mention no cage, and not nearly the aero effort to keep from lift off when approaching speed.

That 305 would have to be seriously built, and he would be touting it if it was. I could get out a Sharpie and write on a picture that my Monte went 180 mph.

Hot Rod Magazine does alot of land speed racing coverage, I was never even remotely interested in it myself. After reading a little about the sport its really interesting what they build.

That Camaro most likely has a 305 to keep it regulated to a certain class it competes in. If you think 200 mph for that thing is crazy look at the vintage stuff people drive. There is cars made out of bomb shells, aviation fuel tanks, Ford flat head motors and all kinds of crazy ****.
