FNG w/mopar
New here but I've been doing the gearhead thing for 35 years. I have no brand loyalty. I have a 64 Dodge Polara at the moment but I just sold a slammed 57 chevy wagon. I've had two SB 69 Vettes, a 64 Comet Cyclone, an 81 vette, a Pro Street 65 Dodge Coronet, a 66 Olds 442 convertible, and a 64 Pontiac Tempest Custom. The Vettes were bone stock. The others were hot rod fair-weather drivers.
The Dodge I have now was a dedicated race car (not mine) for many years. It was returned to the street about ten years ago by the previous owner. The roll cage was cut out, but the frame ties and straight axle front suspension, and fenderwell headers are still there. It's running a 440 with a single 4 barrel and lots of cam mated to a full manual 727 automatic. It's backed by a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears. The car rolls on 10.5" DOT slicks in the rear and pizza cutters in the front all mounted on Centerline wheels.
That's me. Let's party!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
