    Looks great, congrats. Very cool car there.

    I can see those valve covers and that M1 intake. Cool. Do you happen to know what the rockers are, and maybe the ratio?

    Nice, I'll bet it moves just a bit faster than a stock one.

    If it were mine, I'd want to get chrome bumpers back on it, but I still think it looks pretty sharp.

    Im not sure about the Rockers, its my first car and im only 15 haha! But i like the white bumpers, i saw pictures of one with the Chrome and i have to say i think it looks alot cleaner with out the Chrome! The speedometer goes to 85 and on the way home from Carlisle we hit it the pedal not eve 1/2 way down and the needle was burried!! It goes like crazy and the tires light up very quickley haha as we have already done three burnouts in my driveway

    If anybody knows where i get emblems, i would greatly appreciate it! There a few emblems that are faded, and also i could use a new backseat cover, if you look in the pictures you can see that is cracked! Other than that the only big thing i have to do is find out what is wrong with the coolant gauge, hook the cruise control back up, put the new stereo deck in, and fix some little rust spots! The gas tank was brand new, the exhaust is Flowmaster's 40 series, let me tell you it sounds AMAZING!

    Looks very nice. For a 15 year old you picked a good first car. Shame you live so far away I'm reasonably sure I have a lower back seat sitting around.

    i bought my first magnum when i was 15 too (not that long ago) but mine is not even close to as nice as that one. lets hope you stick with the classy ride. there are very few younger people that have even the slightest interest in these cars. i agree with you about the bumpers i dig body colour bumpers on these cars im gonna try it on one of mine someday. congrats on the purchase

    I checked this car out at Carlisle and I would say you got a nice ride. It doesn't get much better than a 79 300, congratulations.
