This SUPER clean torino 429 cobra came into my work monday





Thats right he specifically asked for 5w20 oil. I dont know of ANY car made before 1997 that actually recomends 5w20.

It is horrible I just remember in high school my friend had the same accord in champagne color with pretty much the same kit but it was unpainted.
Did you happen to see if it was an auto or stick?

It could be the fact that it is shaped like an aquarium light. Or it could be the white and black lines being so far apart. Either way...

I sure hope someone with an ebay account reports or contacts him before some sucker bids on that thing. In the description he says it make 238hp and that it is a paddle shift automatic 4speed!

I give him credit for the front mount though. I've never seen a turbo'd Accord like that.

I like how the 5w20 oil said that it was great for Honda, hahaha. The guy is just crazy about saving gas and if he knew anything he would change his own oil jk!

Oh.. I do have this.... Pay close attention to the road.. It was taken with a phone, sorry. Friend had footage of it but I never managed to get it off his iPhone (stupid things..)

That was in Miami about a month ago

I was in a Kia Sephia, a normal sedan, for height comparison

Someone else took the pics.
Someone who drives a Toyota.

Unlike our true performance machines, Toyotas can run on just about anything. Even ARCO gas
