Post by 75COLT »

its a 1975 dodge colt gt. it currently has the 1.5l 4g32 w/ 5-speed. it completely guttless. this will be removed soon for the goods. Its going to be a total street car. just something fun. I was inspired by peregrine's ride.
No major mods yet other than wheels.

the 75 is literaly a transition vehicle. it looks like the 76-77 in the front and the 71-73 in the rear. i actually think its the best looking year for the old colts.

I like the flat gray 75 Colt surrounded by new Jaguars, 350z's and Land Rovers. It fits right in to that parking lot :lol:
You guys make me want one of these things!

It's not running yet. It is making a nice lawn ornament though. I am going to leave it gray w/ dust for a while. I am currently working on it, just not enough time as the saying goes.

This is my intercooler sleeping behind my grill.
