I mostly just use it for hauling stuff around for the house and for my car addiction. Including the cars themselves sometimes, haha! It does what I need it to, so I can't complain. The 360 hauls it a bit more easily than my friend's old 318 did, but both Magnum V8's have done me well over the years!

My best friend's old 2001 Ram 1500 with the 318 pulling home one of my previous projects:

Some of the other projects my 360 has gotten home for me:

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it though. It's a highly optioned 1973 Firebird with a Pontiac 350 and a M21 close ratio 4 speed. It's a one owner car, my friend's dad ordered it brand new in 73 and picked a bunch of options, he even had the dealer install a posi rear out of a 73 Trans Am before he picked it up. The one option I wish he DIDN'T check was the vinyl roof. I wanted to remove it and just repaint it all the factory blue, but when I removed it there was rust EVERYWHERE under it. Two holes in the rear that I can put my hand through and both a-pillars up front are gone. I think the windshield is the only thing holding the front of the roof / a-pillars in the place. They make a roof that I can put on that has the front a-pillars included, but where it is rusted in the rear means I would probably have to put new rear quarters in it too since they don't make patch panels for the upper quarter. I'm on the fence with it. I can tack weld decently enough for what I need, so I could always get a bit better at it, find a donor 70-74 and cut some patch panels, and then do it myself. I'd then have to recover the roof with another vinyl top. It wouldn't be what I wanted originally, but it would hide my not-so-great welding skills and get the car back on the road, haha! If I did go that route, I'd probably put on a black vinyl roof and repaint the car in Florentine Red. It wouldn't be original to the build tag, but it would still be a 73 color (and a color combination that I like a lot and could live with if I did the vinyl roof again). Decisions, decisions...
