A Few Cars I've Seen That Were Modified/built Into Damn Nice Performance Cars

Even with this damn COVID plague going on, you occasionally see a few head turning cars ,out driving around, heres a few Id love to own.

you probably need to be a "CAR GUY" to really appreciate the cars and the time effort and detail work, but there's a few local cars that impress me.
I don,t know the owners but I do see the cars driving occasionally.
I've seen some at car shows or at local gas stations,
I've tried on several occasions to stop and talk to the owners,
with only limited success so far in some cases,
now I did not get pictures of the actual cars, so I grabbed a few similar pictures off the internet,

but these a very well done and very smooth shiny black jag with a BIG BLOCK CHEVY,
and auto trans running around locally thats impressive.
the car looks very well cared for and mostly might pass for stock,
but its sure sounds impressive and it scoots along just fine!

I keep seeing a very impressive AMX ,
that looks almost identical to this other than the green paints almost black metallic green, it sounds stock but the owner obviously spends a great deal of time waxing it and obviously keeps in in a garage and well maintained.

theres a car/truck kit car, made from a factory 5 kit,
similar to this with a modern 392 hemi from a local truck that was totaled,


this trucks both fast and impressive to look over.

some guys got a really nasty sounding AC COBRA CLONE with a serious BIG BLOCK FORD ENGINE
I have no details but he had the hood open at a local car show and its obviously a 429-514 BBF
