This site is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of 1960's and '70's Musclecars. I will answer any and all questions about what is original, and what are "Period Correct" modifications. I will also post my personal opinion about what is and is not proper. People are encouraged to debate me or share their own opinions or experiences.

I was wrong....Import guys are insane too!!.......
In some previous posts where I've griped about people swapping modern powertrains into vintage Iron, I have said it's odd that you don't see a 1972 240Z with the engine and tranny out of a 2015 370Z or a 1973 Porsche 911T with the powertrain out of a 2012 Carrera 4. I was wrong-I saw in Motor Trend of all places-a guy spent $250,000-that's right a quarter-million-putting the engine, trans, suspension and some interior parts out of a 2017 Lexus ISF into a 1969 Toyota Corolla!! You butchered a 416 hp, $60,000 sport sedan to put it's guts into a subcompact that's worth what-$3,000 if it's pristine? I've never heard of people fighting with machetes for late '60's / early '70's Corollas. Andi it cost 250K to do it??? What's next? A Nissan GTR drivetrain in a Sentra?? There are truly people with more money than brains.....Mastermind
