Well try to remember the naming conventions for these types of challenges as some people will outright reject entries if you use the wrong naming scheme.
Usually for CSR, its CSRXX Username (XX being the round number) for the family in the body and engine designer and the trim/variant name is up to you
Also remember to read and follow the rules
Recycling my CSR51 car…with a V8 rather than the V12 because @JohnWaldock doesn’t want V12s…
So here it is…the 1968 NCC Zephyr 222.

i didn’t say i didn’t “want” them, but it may count against you rather heavily!
Quick question, Can I update the trim to 2017 to get better tires and simulate the car having had it’s tires changed over the years? Everything on my car would remain the same as the 1973 version except the tires, the 245’s are killing any performance.
EDIT: Never mind, that sent the cost of the whole car to the moon and back lol.
While the Sinistra 662ci Monster-Block may have been the more well-remembered engine, the 464 Cubic Inch V8 is still a fierce fighter. Arguably the better engine, the 464 is lighter, despite making a little less power. It also tended to be readily available with carburettors, while the 662 was only offered with mechanical fuel injection.
The Sinistra Meteor offered both engines at one point or another, but the 1973 refresh saw much higher sales of the 464 compared to the much-more-expensive and complex 662. Coupled to a 4 speed on the floor, the Meteor is a classic muscle car wearing the skin of the average sedan. This was to dodge rising insurance prices on muscle cars by cloaking the car as just another family car with a shared engine platform. While the 662 couldn’t avoid the “muscle car insurance tax,” the 464, even in this Dual-Quad configuration, remained cheap to insure.
Another interesting thing about the 464, especially from Sinistra, is that it keeps to old American traditions and uses pushrods to control the valves, unlike the technologically-superior 662’s overhead cams. On the other hand, if something breaks in the Sinistra 464ci power-plant, it’s relatively easy to fix.
With the reasonably-low price tag for what you got, and this being the more popular model, they’re not too hard to find, even if you’re looking for one in great shape.
Introducing the 1973 LMA-640!
In 1973 LMA decided it was time for a muscle car with a little bit of tech under the hood. Enter the 640, A mid size car with a mid size engine(although still considered a large displacement one). The body was nothing special, steel monocoque with steel panels. What was special was the 6.4L/391ci engine, making 401HP at 5000 RPM’s with a redline of 5300 RPM’s it was a beast. The SOHC style engines were just starting to become standerd in the industry with smaller cars and even some sports cars. But this would the first time LMA had built one with such a large displacment, or placed one in a muscle car. While on the pricey side for a muscle car of the time, every penny was well spent as the engine was quite reliable considering how new the SOHC style engines were. It also comes equiped with a 5-speed manuel transmission, 265 rear tires/245 front, power steering, and front disc brakes.
This model has remarkably low mileage on it for such an old car, only 23,000 miles! having spent most of it’s life under a cover in a barn up north there is little to no rust on it and the beautiful red paint still looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. For $12,500 you can have one of the first semi reliable SOHC powered muscle cars in the world!!
Yea that doesn’t work because it refits the newest interior and safety materials and technology for every year you move forwards so costs and weight shoot up massively
Yeah I’d noticed that. I found a work around though, by droping to a 14 inch rim I could fit 265’s. Not what I really wanted but it works.
Valois Débandade. Choose from engines up to 6.0L. Find a style for you.
I was also thinking about recycling my CSR51 entry - a plan that was scuppered by the car being over budget and having components that weren’t expected to be on a muscle car (independent rear end, auto locking diff, 4-wheel disc brakes, 5-speed gearbox, etc.) Hence my decision to omit them all from the Wolf - I tried to do the same thing with a different muscle car, with a big-block engine, but I abandoned that plan when it turned out to be too close to the budget limit for my liking.
Up for sale is my '69 Bogliq Brutus 427.
A beloved mainstay in my garage for the last seventeen years after my dad bequeathed her to me in his will, I’ve hit hard times and I cannot afford to upkeep this exotic beauty of a land yacht any longer.
Serviced regularly her whole life, this Brutus has a number of optional extras which make all the difference compared to lesser specced cars.
One: 427ci of prime V8. Yup, she’s a real beast with over 200Kw on tap (thanks to the optional, Leeroy Racing triple twin-barrel carbs) yet she’ll run on 91RON unleaded without any modification!
Two: Four speed manual. This Brutus is no mere boulevard cruiser, she’ll romp to 100Km/h in a shade over 7 seconds, hit the quarter at a bit under 16 seconds then top out at a hair under 240Km/h. Pretty badass for 1969…
Three: Four seat conversion. Trimmed in Bogliq’s sand coloured premium velour and woodgrain inserts, this is one nice place to tackle that road trip you’ve got planned and the optional dual-path Leeroy Racing extractor and sidepipe exhaust doesn’t intrude unless you want it to.
Four: Four wheel disc brakes. As per the Euro spec handling package, my dad went all out and had four wheel disc brakes optioned. While I’m not saying she’ll stop on a dime, this Brutus stops straight and clean and only develops fade if you really work 'em hard. Leeroy Racing sells upgrade packages should you want to hit the track. Speaking of the track; Clarkson tested an identically specced car and it ran a 1:35.42… Not bad, not bad at all!
Now let’s get down to brass tacks. It’s still got registration until Dec’ 2017 so you can drive it home and I’ve done a roadworthy check (it passed) so you can get it registered straight away. My price is a firm $12,400. At this price point this is simply the best specced, condition and priced Brutus on the market, let alone a 427 equipped one. Come get yourself a bargain before a classic car dealer buys it and flips for thousands more…
For sale, 1968 Cresge Skipjack
Cresge: It’s not just a car, it’s the American way.
I simply cannot believe that your entry and mine have very much in common - bright blue exterior paint, pony car body and a small-block V8. Neither car would have looked out of place in CSR51, though (although I would have had to update the trim year for eligibility’s sake).
Did not think of that, only that my previous muscle cars are all too expensive.
Well I guess there`s just not too many variables to chose from when it comes to muscle/pony cars (cough, cough guess who else is going to submit a car with that same body and muscle car rims; I think I’ll make mine red 
)
I’m selling this carefully restored Burnell Torrente S355 (matching numbers) as I need to free up room and resources for new projects. It rolled off the line in late '71 as a '72 MY and comes equipped with the Burnell Sports Division (BSD) package, which includes the racing stripes paintjob (car has been resprayed in the original color scheme), dashboard tach, some BSD badges in the interior and - perhaps most importantly - magnesium rims. Additionally, as can clearly be seen on the pictures, this one has the optional vinyl roof.
The 355ci V8 is the stronger one of the two variants offered in this model, with twin four-barrel carbs and sports headers. It is rated at 365hp (gross SAE), which is generally assumed to translate to just over 300 “real” horsepower and some 380-390 lb-ft of torque, and is coupled to a heavy duty 4-speed transmission.
Weighing in at 3,360 lbs, it’s relatively nimble for a muscle car. It’ll get a 0-62 mph time of just over 6 seconds and do a mid-14 quarter mile time. Top speed is 150 mph flat.
Money-wise, I’m looking at $13,000 o.n.o.
Well, Satlbridge Dealership remember.
Ah, the car that blow away the United States market in 1968… you know? We have one.
Great condition, check by yourself…
12.000$, no low ballers.
Bob and Kenneth say yes.
That is basically the same rear-engined rocket which won a round of the old Themed Car Challenge long ago. It’s a shame the TCC never went beyond a couple of seasons… And I never entered any of the eight rounds that were held.
Hey guys, I’m looking to sell my '72 Templar. Just found out my wife is pregnant with twins, so as much as it breaks my heart, I need to be responsible and change out my ride.
This is a numbers-matching Super T/A with a factory auto and dealer add-on A/C (much newer install, I found a NOS kit four years ago, so it’s in great shape). The original Triple Three was rebuilt by a Townsend specialist just over a year ago, including a full overhaul of all the carbs. Odometer now shows 14,000 miles, but it’s really 114,000 because it rolled over a couple years ago.
Factory Sport Touring suspension package (IRS!). Original mags, scoop, and aero kit. Some scratches on the air dam, and the Sunburst Yellow paint has some fading and oxidation.
Interior in great shape, good glass all around, body straight as an arrow. All the trim pieces are intact, too! Daily driven, but really nice. Great car without the cost of a trailer queen!
Edit: I’ve gotten a bunch of silly questions on this, but since people don’t want to do their own research, I guess I’ll answer them here.
Yes, the scoop and aero kit ARE factory. This is a SUPER T/A, not a Super. They’re all black on the T/A’s.
It’s a 333cid V8 Super TA from Toledo Ironworks. 5.5 liters for you import guys. And if you have to ask what kind of fuel economy it gets, this probably isn’t the car for you.
Yes, I have receipts for the work I’ve had done, including the engine rebuild, since I bought the car in '96. I’m the second owner. I also have the original window sticker, factory build slip, and a bottle of lead substitute additive so you can run it on (premium) pump gas.
Google is your friend. Before you ask me when the timing belt was replaced, look to see if it even has a timing belt. Hint: it doesn’t.
Asking $11300. Will trade for a newer sport sedan, like an Ardent Iroquois.
(And @BobLoblaw, I wasn’t ripping you off with the 333cid engine… I have one in my canon as well!)
