Car Crazies in here? Tell us what you got...
« on: August 06, 2018, 02:42:48 PM »
Finished a 77 Jeep restore then bought a 73 Corvette for restoration next... Drag raced fuel altered for years too. Thus the name.... (No, it's not because I wear high heels and a bra, 27th, even though you dream of me in them)

Got an old car, truck?? Let's hear about it.
I was abandoned as a child and raised by feral weener dogs. To this day, I can't bring myself to eat a ballpark frank.

Model 3 Performance Edition. I have only had it for 1 week. Absolutely the fastest car I have ever driven.

Well, first time I REALLY drove it,as my truck was in shop, I took it to my buddies BACK Country-Hide from everyone drinking/Smoking zone. It was nasty...had rained for a week..BUT THAT LITTLE car....went where those 4x4's got stuck..straddled the ruts. So I was the "Shuttle" car :cool:  Was a just fine, after about $10 in quarters as the the Car Wash.....UNTILL that DAY :uhoh   Dad...changed the oil :confused:   Forgot to clean EVERYWHERE  :rofl

I drag raced modified production in a 56' Chevy Bel Air back in the 70's at the now closed Raceway Park, in Englishtown, NJ.  I sold it and bought a new 76' Corvette, drove it for 34 years, but never raced it.

How I miss the 80's and my stock 5.0.  Never found a Vette for less than 40k (back then) that could beat it.  Dodge was no where to be found in those days.  Just a bunch of 30 something's reliving the past talking about their uncle's old Roadrunner.  I think I paid 9k. for that Fox body.

We used to destroy Five-Point-Slows in our Chargers and Road Runners.    Buddy of mine had a ‘68 Charger with a six-pack 383.   When I drove that thing I felt like I got launched off a carrier in a Hornet.   

Even better was another friend and his Camaro (‘68 or ‘69).   I think it got about four gallons to the mile.   Ain’t a modern Mustang I’ve ever seen that could touch that thing.   It was unbelievable.   I am lucky I didn’t get a detached retina riding with him in that sucker.  Whew.

The Mustang/302 was the best bang for your buck, most envied small block performance car of all time.

This is Big Blue during a typical day at the office:

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
