    Hi KC and welcome. I have owned a couple of "donks" as you describe them although I've never heard that term applied to heavier new cars. I have owned a 65 chevy S.S., 67 S.S., and other large cars and I'll admit I like the older cars as this was the time of when I grew up. My present 37 chevy truck(love trucks) is neat but I'm looking into a 1960 chevy impala which is a big car. I think most people consider there cars as atime when they first saw something they like. I was 14 and saw a 41 ford truck and knew I had to have one which i did. Nothing wrong with your 70-76 cars. It all depends on what you like and I think most people on this club would feel the same way.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    I thought a Donk was a car that had been raised like a monster truck using extremely tall tires and hydraulics ?????

    i personally do not like the raised look but I can see the amount of time that it takes to get it that way. How did the term "Donk" come into being. does it stand for anything? Also because I own a 71 monte is mine a donk?

    I learned everything I know about em off of "Livin the Low Life" just last night.
    Hey wasn't nuthin else on and that Vida Guerra is pretty easy to look at .
    Any way Donk stands for Donkey ??? and the lowrider crowd has a very low opinion of them,as do I.
