The December car of the month discussion thread.
This month's entry is a thumping great ZT 260 muscle car story courtesy of stevestrat. Many thanks for submitting the article Steve, it's always nice to see a V8 featured |

Well done, good looking cars, and I am envious of the fact you have a V8.
I have been in a 75 V8, and am certainly impressed with the performance. An MG version would be even better I guess! I hope you can get to your events soon to show off your car again. Graeme

Great story. Totally agree with not wrapping up a V8. Built to be used.

My wife has never taken that much of an interest in cars but first time in the V8 I got "Oh, I like this!" |

Nice write up. Your right, you only live once, so why not treat yourself
Nice to see the V8 driven year round, and look forward to seeing the car at a future meet next year maybe |

Gorgeous car and a good write up.
I totally agree that cars should be driven and not moth balled in a garage as it's such a waste. Get out and drive them, weather permitting of course!
