Don I didn't know you had a charger too. Jeeze
That is a beautiful Chevelle SS Ray!!! Very clean!
I have a 66 in the works (wish I had some pics) and I have this.... I was looking for an old shoebox when I ran across it and couldn't pass it up. It is a 1970 SS454 El Camino (Wish it was a Chevelle) with a cowl induction hood that works. I have won a couple of awards with it, but unfortunately, I can not take the credit for the resto as I bought it that way.
Hey, a topic I feel qualified to chime in on!! There is something about Wisconsin country boys, beer, and muscle cars that go together.... never owned Mopar though always wanted a Cuda. Favorite 3 cars:
#1 '73 Javelin AMX - 4 speed, 4 barrel, posi, 4.11 w/custom cam, lifters, headers etc. Car would get all 4 gears solidly on those old bias-ply tires!
Last time I saw the car, I was going to jail for draggin in downtown Green Bay, Wi.... I went 1 way, the car went the other... never got 'er out of the pound (was in college at the time - no $$$).
#2 '66 Cutlass (pulled out the stock 6 cyl) and dropped a 425 V-8 out of a Vista Cruiser stationwagon :lol: - wanted to go 455 but the 425 was the biggest engine that would fit.
#3 '66 Mustang (My first car - only $900 in 1982!) w/302 BOSS and 4 speed, pistol grip door handles (was told that was a California edition thing???). I bought the car used. Previous owner had switched from 3peed auto to 4 speed manual but didnt change the gears in the diff.... and I wasnt told. Went thru 3 clutches in 1 summer
trying (unsuccessfully) to do burn outs. However the car would go 50mph in 1st gear, 90 in second, 3rd 110ish and 4th never found out - got scared at w/140mph speedo buried in a rust bucket w/worn out shocks and springs
:lol: Parents sold for that one on me for $300 when I racked up a slew of speeding tickets and ended up in jail... ah the good ol days! :huh:
