What am I?
« on: August 29, 2013, 09:01:37 PM »
I'm a car manufactured in the US
I have four wheel disc brakes and independent suspension
I have independent wishbone and coil front suspension
I have transverse leaf rear suspension and positraction diff
I have been fitted with various big and small block V8s
I was marketed through GM dealerships in continental US
I have a full chassis and fiberglass body

I am NOT a corvette :banghead:

Anyone want to guess what I am?

Hi there Gran Dad
A truck in America is not a truck
but a tractor

Wasn't this discussed over a few draughts at the convention

Chassis heavy enough for a truck, but definitely a car

I thought the Phaeton was by Chrysler and only a concept car?

In the garage next to the C4. Another eBay (Jakki placed the bid) purchase. This time I checked it out first. Only one bid so I picked it up for the opening offer.
C3 underneath with even less luggage room than the C4.
Not the sting of the vette but very cruisy.
Getting used to LHD.
I'm sure there'll be pics if I get some issues fixed for Burrawang.
Does chev running gear and Vette suspension allow me to convoy with club cars?  :drag:

Very cool.  :thumb:

If my Dodge is allowed to hang with them on occasions  then I'm sure the Excalibur will be fine, if it can keep up  :bouncesmile:

Nah! Only 305. Hard to justify an upgrade at this stage as it only has 5000 miles on it. Money tree will also need fertilizing.
