I think an LS class would be cool. A lot of the daily driver cars had LS engines in them... Not sure what rules would need to be applied. Maybe LS-whatever,...

[Rashy]

Period correct... I love the concept, in fact, I am working, ever so slowly, on as period correct a 60's custom 59 el camino as I can get. Trying to keep...
