Results Pt.1
With his computer in front of him, Ricky opened up Craigslist to browse the large number of muscle cars in his general area.
LLA TP 5.5 @LinkLuke
“Looks cool, like a Corvette but with more curves, and that engine seems right. 5.5, OHV, Twin 4’s, with 250 and change out of the rear. but, it says here “5 speed 'box”. dammit, it’s been messed with. pass!”
BM Piranha @TheElt
“OK, this looks GOOD! every inch a classic. Engine is a little strange. Small block DAOHC, oddly european looking. but, a cammer motor is not gonna put me off just yet. i’ll have to see it for myself.”
BKOO Cesta S-400 @conan
“GOD THATS BRIGHT!!! well, aside from the retinal assault of that lime, it’s a looker, and all the specs check out. looks like a factory fresh HiPo coupe utility. I’ve gotta see this one in person!”
Sinistra Meteor @Madrias
“OK, so this car has a LOT going on, i just don’t like how it looks. way too busy. and those tires look worryingly small on such a big, heavy beast. shame, since the engine looked so good. sadly, i’ll pass”
Fleet Industries Wolf @abg7
“what a boring looking car. nothing too terrible, but just bland. specs are fine and all, but it doesn’t excite me at all. pass.”
Gasril Hustle @phale
“this has potential, looks aggressive in a '70s way. 5.0 with just under 250hp is pretty enticing in such a small car. i’ll have to take a look!”
Solo Harrier 400 @thecarlover
“OOH this is really rad. it looks so good and that color screams late 60’s. 400c.i. Cammer motor under the hood is a touch worrying if anything should go wrong, but i’ve gotta see this one for myself, it’s just too cool!”
Burnelle Torrente S355 @bastormonger
“OK, this one is a real looker. classic muscle through and through. And with a 355c.i. with 300 horses and change, I’m in!”
Cresge Skipjack @BobLoblaw
“I’M BLU DABADEDABADEHHHHHHHHHHH, anyway, it looks quite bland. again, nothing wrong with the car, but there is no flair. the motor is good, but i’m passing because it just looks boring.”
Valos Debandade @DoctorNarfy
“looks very 60’s, but i wanted a muscle car, not a cruise ship! and a 3 speed slush-o-matic is not helping matters. pass.”
LMA 640 @AdmJDL
“5 speed 'box? 3 valve heads? OEM tail lights? this is a 90’s restomod. hard fucking pass.”
Bogliq Brutus 427 @HighOctaneLove
“Moldovans in exile sure know how to design a muscle car. looks A grade. performance figures look a tad lacking, but i’ll just have to try it to really call judgement.”
Znopresk Z235 V6 Corsa @NormanVauxhall
“V6, 4 valve, 5 speed, and rear engined. not a muscle car and its been molested. get it out of my sight!”
Stamford RS V8 @stm316
“It’s so ugly! passing this on looks alone, not to mention that asthmatic engine.”
DMV Galleon 415 RS @SkylineFTW97
“A muscle wagon! that’s a first! again, more of a cruise ship than a muscle machine, so sadly it’s a pass”
NCC Zephyr 222 @TR8R
“Ok, looks fairly promising, but the color scheme will have to go. wait a sec, 32v? Double wishbone front and rear? it’s another restomod. pass.”
Townsend Templar Super TA @VicVictory
“another early 70’s pony car. looks very purposeful. 5.5 with 276hp is good, a 3 speed auto is not. but, i’ll leave judgement as to whether that’s a dealbraker for this yellow machine for when i drive it.”
Scarab Meteor 342SC @gridghost
“WOW! this looks amazing! specwise, its a 5.6L cammer, which may prove expensive, but boy oh boy i’ve gotta experience this”
AEA Barracuda FSX @findRED19
“not bad looking, not great looking either, but not enough for me to discount it. specs look very good, i’ll have to give this one a closer look.”
and with that, he had a short list.
