slpwlker Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I get a kick out of people today who wonder if 500HP is enough to get the job done???Thats true. But it is nice to be able to keep up with traffic grossing 140k plus. Or pull the mountain and only drop 2 or 3 gears and maybe top it still in high range. But back in those days those where the king of the hills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 the one on the right looks like they took a b model horse collar that holds the radiator and used it for a grille guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
