Nice cars! I really like the 50's Chev! Very nice!
Is there a thread for pics of our "other" cars a.k.a. non hot rods?
Looks like you've got some more gallery fillin' to do.....
I really like the 65 CTO, the 55 Chevy, and 67 Camaro. I like them all. All of the cars are very nice.

A few more
The 49 Chevy coupe was built in 1958, it had a 56 6 banger with a 54 Vette triple sidedrafts and ran 16 flat at 84 MPH, the 55 Chevy was put together in 5 weeks in 1989 to go to my wife's 30th high school reunion, the 55 pick up was built with a 75 firebird front frame section and a blown BB Chevy, the 65 Vette was a 396/425HP car. The 69 Chevelle SS was a 396/375HP and the 73 Vette had a 454 (are you seeing a pattern here?) The GTO had a 389 tripower, 4 speed and 3:90 posi and ran 12.90's @ 106 MPH. The cad is powered by a 454 + .030 that makes just north of 550HP and 585 Ft Lbs.
It's a real joy to the Mustang crowd to get their doors blown off by a grey haired old guy in a Caddy!!:D
Oooooo....like to have that '60 Biscayne, Lancer caps, and tri-power 348!
Thanks Mr Big Block Lover, (Geezer2)I love then all also but the one that had my heart is the '59/'60 2dr Chevy with 348 or 409 tri power car. Man if that is still alive number matching car it must be worth a $1 or $6 million.:cool:
it`s a real joy to know a true hotrodder ..:)Quote:

The Camaro was running 9.90's at 139 in 1970
Enclosed is a picture of the 56 Vette I traded in when I bought the sixty
Was the photo of the Camaro taken at New England Dragway in New Hampshire?
I was a "pit bum" in the early 70's and that car looks very very familiar. I think I have a pic of that car runnin' against my buddys maverick.
That picture was indeed taken at New England Dragway.
I ran that car there from late 69 thru 1972.
I had a 427 bored 1/8" over (452 cubic inches) and had only a set of Lakewood slapper bars and a Lakewood bolt in three point roll bar!!
My how times have changed.
I'd love to see the shot you have.
Yes, I knew that car! One friend ran a whie 66 gto called it Brat. bbc powered (427). Another friend ran a 71 Maverick w\ boss 302. Team of Baptiste & Fernandes. The Maverick guys and myself pooled our resources (meager,lol) and bounced between old bridge, lebanon and NEDW. I'll see if I can find some pictures from them days.Quote:
