You can also drop a 350chev in them :P

Hah, a friend of mine at uni had one and they're insanely tough.

Yeah, I used to have one too. First car I ever drove. Taught me everything I need to know about driving (which explains a lot).

I checked the VSI's for modified cars when I had it, and with the car's kerb weight you can legally fit a 5.0L FI engine (Holden 308 twin turbo, anyone?) or a 5.7L NA (350 Chev, LS1, etc). Got sleeper?

And mine was tough too. I drove it hard, and drove it into a few things, and the thing just kept on running. I also once had some guy in an EA Falcon mistake his throttle pedal for his brake and shunt into the back of me. The Falcon's front bar was smashed, radiator mounts broken, cracked headlights.

My Volvo's rear bumper was scuffed and marked with the Falcon's paint, and with a KFC moist towelette I got rid of that.

Last lunatic I knew with a 240 coupe threw a 350 in his and used to drive it all over the place getting whacked on by Sydney traffic for a few years, sick bastard also used to put little flags down the front quarter panel on the drivers side.

They where not for drags won... they where for cars and bikes the damn thing had run into it, killed and kept going :laugh:

About the only thing comparable in 'sedan' toughness I can think of off the top of my head is the old W123 mercedes chassis, those things just keep on going for a half a million miles, hit with clusterbombs, antipersonel mines, sprayed down with 7.62mm rounds and keep on rollin', ride of choice for 3rd world gangstas! :)

You could probably have a beach party and V8 under the hood with one of them!

Silver- colour code aka as 'Battleship Grey'

Burnt Orange- colour code aka as 'Felony Orange'

White- colour code aka as 'Crusader of Mass Justice White'

Cola Brown- colour code aka as 'Bikers Pants Brown'

Red - colour code aka as 'Slaughterhouse Red'

Beige - colour code aka as 'Suburban Ninja Special White'

Black- colour code aka as 'Mall Gangster Black' fairly rare though this one.

Volvo is also latin for "I Roll"

they are heaps expensive for what they are.

ideally I'm just looknig for a shell, but seeing as there aren't any, I'm looking for a car that's cheap as chips so I can tear everything out of it and put my gear in!

not that cheap but you could probably get it cheaper off them without stereo, wheels, etc and then you have a shiny blue paint job to look at

how about a datsun 1600? a mate of mine has one that he would be willing to swap for a set of nismo 740cc injectors for a s15 ($500 from nengun)

    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system  
    • I've seen these as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/395822887806?chn=ps&_ul=AU&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooak9PFJJwwNDusr8TrZ5lsminTjComhJr-Z4dJ52Tt35T1hBPl0wk&gQT=1 but always seemed a bit dodgy lol
    • Yeah same with the GTR but in practice that is pretty easy because the car is so high, and the stands only go from sill end to sill end so you don't need to wriggle far
