Unhappy Bye bye beloved 480 Celeb! A moments silence please.

Well I have sold my pride and joy to a guy who is flying over from Ireland to pick her up in the next couple of weeks. Bizarre as though it sounds she is the one thing I would have loved to have taken with me however as house still on the market, financial restrictions (and the fact that o/h hates it!!!! ) mean she has to go.

To over come the grief I have focused on a Dodge Ram SRT10 which I intend to customise via my trusty airbrush, and one day my beloved 480 Celeb I will get one of your rele's over to Canada and love you again.



Goodbye dear friend we had some amazing times and I will truly miss you.

Its got a kick ass viper engine (sorry missed out the r should be srt10) and it floats my boat big style.

It has everything I need and like I say bung a custom paint job on it (nothing too pimp my ride don't want to spoil it) i'll be in motor heaven!

The Chevvy SSR is more fun...its a convertable truck based on the Vette.

mmmmm not too keen, engine not big enough certainly not enough torque and the styling is a little lacking (and thats coming from a 480 nut!!!) interesting tho!

Just looked up its spec and it has an ls2 engine which if I remeber rightly was one of the first green V8's available so the carbon footprint wouldn't be toooo bad (well as much as a hefty pickup could be)!

But the roof comes off and it will leave yours for dead in the (admittedly few) twisty bits

Hey, Im with dbd on this one, if the roof doesnt come off a vehicle thats completely frivolous, then really, what the point? Summer is short here, make the most of it I say.
