Then I guess my car is not a hot rod:
Foreign,
Chevy 302 powered
4 wheel ind suspension
big 4 wheel discs,
goes straight, turns and stops better than most modern cars
Oh well, guess I should call it something else.
Gotta love Wikipedia, always entertaining.

It's now a Pandora thread!
I'd call that 914 a hotrod! Yeah it's a highly modified foreign sports car, but if it was a Fiero with a 454 you'd be more inclined to use hot rod, or a mustang with a 460, but I'm with Dave I hate making a tight definition here. Just look at all the builds that cross the board on this site. IMHO.
I think the Austrailian's might think a Holton modified with a big block constitutes Hot Rod, just as much as a zooped up 57 chevy!Last edited by stovens; 12-13-2009 at 01:06 AM.

I consider anything from the 60's and up a muscle car.
Street rods are 49 and older. Hot rods are what ever you want them to be. I use the term more when I'm talking to a non-car person. I don't know that many. But then I'm quite old and.... what were we talking about?

Sorry don't mean to be picky
Don't mean to be picky but I think you mean Holden not (Holton)
And yes I call my 1977 Holden Torana,1970 Holden Monaro and the wife's 1964 EH Holden Hot rods. Some clown at work told me the other day that there not Hot rods. I told him thats his opinion . And he's welcome to keep it to himself. Originally Posted by stovens

Sorry about the typo. You got the gist of what I meant! Spelling isn't my greatest strength! Originally Posted by manky

My Dad told me a loooong time ago that opinions are like ass-holes, everyone has one but it's usually a good idea to keep yours to yourself. So I agree with you 100%. The Holden as well as the 914 are "hot rods". Just my nickels worth. (And my Dads). RIP Originally Posted by manky
