Not only neat but my cars registration said 2500 pounds with a v-8. Look at pics of a 64-65 sedan with post and then compare it to the future hardtop. They are just bitchin. I love the 65 comet cyclone. Some came with a real hi-po like my mustang. The difference between a solid lifter cammed engine and one with a slush stick in it are like night and day.
Do you have a gear drive or a blower or something> I hear that whine coming out of it and it is mechanical music.
Is it a boss 302 car or a 428 cj car or what. My brother had the 69 boss car all numbers matching. He even went so far to obtain a trans-am test manifold for dual quads. Fastest small block car I have ridden in to date.
That CJ Fairlane I had ran really good on the Sunoco 260, until......………….I discovered down the street was a Texaco station, their premium gas made the 260 seem like cheepo regular. Even though I was working at a Marathon station at the time, I went to the Texaco to get gas for the Fairlane.
I was about five when my dad (wooden legs) slipped off brake onto gas in traffic and rear ended someone in Ambridge PA. I had been on the front seat of a Rambler (color black)...moments later my cousin who was next to me was on top of me and I was looking up into the bottom of the glove box. Bonked my head a good one, and that Rambler just fell apart. Sad day, as dad liked that cer.My old 68 Rambler American...cheapest car they made...no charge for radio delete, hahaha. Less than 25000 original miles and original paint. Now a Dart block SBC @421 ci with a 990cfm 4150 Holley in front of a Coan TH350 with 5500 stall converter, Ford 9 inch, spool...blah, blah.
Runs 9.75@ 137 really fat. She puts a smile on my face when she starts
Some verrrry nice rides here
Love that 72? Cuda. Had one, sold it...kept the Firebird. One of many stupid things I did...
Classic photo (top one) of how it really was. Rusted fenders and quarters, doors too, hopped up suspension, ragged out interior and PROUD of it! Saying nothin of those late 80's jeans, sneakers and haircut...you look like every guy I wrenched cars with! Great stuff in these photos.I just seen this thread pop up.
Car I had in 1988-89 it was passed back and forth between my uncles since 1974 when my uncle bought it. My dad bought it in 1987 I think and I ended up with it. It was bought at the local car lot along with another W30 for the sole purpose of drag racing. When my uncle bought it the original engine had already been blown up along with the read end and was replaced with a W31 350. By the time I got it it was rust out pretty good on the bottom side.
Here it is in 1974 when my uncle had it.
My distant relative Hilbert Milliron had one of these, new in the day, and brought it to a family reunion. I just remember how huge it seemed (I was 6) compared to dads 64 VW. I guess it made an impression because I can still see that big 454 decal on the engine in my mind.
Has been in our family since 1995 and is my sons car now. It took us 10 yrs to complete...70 El Camino
Just turning 50 this year....but now sporting a buzz cut...well as buzz cut as I can get with the covid crap.
