One word: Badass.

There was a '79 Electra sedan in the GS club that was turning 11s, IIRC- looked bone stock on the outside except for tires.

A fleet of cars like that would be just soooo awesome for filming a car chase scene if you could paint them in Black and white and put lights on them....

Seriously...like Darylo said....badass...

Very cool.. I love those late '70s-80s B-bodies also..great potential to build 'sleeper' cars.

I wonder what country that is... doesn't look like North America. Also, the speedo looks like km/h, so they're not really going that fast.

It's certainly quick... but I don't like that they used the same footage over and over.

There are so many of these old B-bods in the 11s and 10s that its no longer that unusual.

the comments some new port in bahrain thats yet to open up.

LOVE. IT. Shame it's over there.

When I worked at the GM dealership in MD, some Middle Eastern guys used to ride through very slowly from time to time, looking to buy Chevy B-bodies to ship over there. Scary stuff. They were aggressive about it, too. I told them to get lost.

Might have been there since new. The Middle East has long been a major market outside NA for large American cars... there were tons of B-bodies in Riyadh and Kuwait City when I was there briefly as a kid in '79.

Duh. Everybody saw the pictures of burned-out Caprices en masse after the Iraq-Kuwait conflict back in the day, it was THE most popular car over there because of its ruggedness, simplicity, and excellent HVAC system. The Caprice name remains a best-seller over there to this day, as a Zeta.
