Apparently car ads are done one month before the mag comes out & Just Cars put the ads on their website, not the seller. I believe there are some cars that have been sold for over a year or two that are still listed on the Just Cars site

Really ?
There's not a lot of difference in technology from 65 to 82 (except wider wheels, EGR and "missfire injection")

O yea i forgot plastic rear spring, thiner and lighter glass, larger half shafts, alloy diff carrier, larger luggage area, cornering light, cruise control, better seats.Just off the top of my head .

OK but hardly "leaps and bounds" in engineering, basically same car, different body, with low compression and HP

bfit · « **Reply #29 on:** March 27, 2014, 01:50:02 PM »

IF you can't have a C3 then you could settle for a C2.

And there was major techo injections.
Like disc brakes and BB engine in 65

lower compression yes that allowed for the owner to fit his own blower or turbo
the early 70s were the times when hotrodders lead the way,
So GM worked with the goverment and the custom industry to present a product that would suit both the hot rodding fan and fit in with governmental pressures.

it also promoted employment in the custom industry.
thats why GM was way ahead of ford and mopar

Sorry, but had to put my 10 cents worth. . that's like saying that there's no difference between an Fj Holden and a Vk commodore . . lol

bfit · « **Reply #32 on:** March 27, 2014, 03:32:29 PM »

FJ Holden or a VK chev ( Vk they are principal a chevy car )
the FJ has charisma nostalgic appeal and fitted with a 350 and 4 speed
it will scare the shirt of most people.
and the pants of some girls.
Oh then there is EH or HR ohhhh with a Big block Muncie and 9" rear, 9 inches.
NOW we are talking about real hotrods. 10 second street cars

I can't say that about a VK, all dolled up with dressy wheels and no muffler

65-82 shared the same chassis (dimensions) same brakes, same steering, same suspension, same engine blocks, gearboxes
(BW then Muncie, then BW again) same diff (till 1980)
So, really, that's your comparison ?

Bfit, you are way too funny buddy. Yes very true, but not practical for daily drivers. You have to admit that you can't beat technology.

Try driving an Fj or an Eh with a 350 Chev that does 10s on the quarter daily, or even beta from Sydney to Melbourne . lol

All good anychev, I know that a lot of the parts were carried over. Hey my C4 shares generally the same chassis with the C3, with some minor mods to accommodate the body above. Corvettes were renown for doing that...

Mate the HR in that post is a very brief description of my car.
owned 67 to 85
it had a SB in 69 and BB in 70.
drove it to work every day and track every time I had the chance.

It went 127 at Castlereagh ( that MPH in the early 70s )

if you have been told it would work the do it and make it work
if its bolted down. then it can be modified

be careful if the cutting touch come out to play
