My first car(s). In 1977 I saved my $$$ and bought a 69 Z11 pace car with the wrong motor, trans, etc: I had no clue at the time. I bought it when I was 14. My father was confused at the time due to the large number of children in our household. When we got the car home my mom says to him: "Honey you know his brother just turned 16, he's 14!" Dad looked at me like I was supposed to remind him which kid I was. The car next to it was a 1970 Plymouth Superbird with a 440 Magnum and automatic. My dad and I bought it based on the fact that someone was going to buy the Z11. Of course they didn't and I got "stuck" driving both cars to high school. He eventually sold both of them when I moved out to Colorado to go to Diesel repair school in 1980. I tracked down the current owner of the Z11. He's in CT and got a kick out of being called out of the blue by me. It's not everyday that the almost original owner of your car hunts you down to tell you about your car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif. The car in the foreground is my brother's 75 Monte Carlo. He sold his LA-built 1969 Daytona Yellow SS396 4 speed Camaro to buy that disco-clunker. What a dummy.

Of course I still have that fleece-lined denim vest and the 1979 Street Machine Nationals belt buckle. I think I can get some big bux for them on eBay. Let the bidding wars begin! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

This was the beginning of the Mopar Muscle Magazine Project Pit Viper circa January 1993. The car is rolling down the assembly line. I got an insiders press pass as I was the Tech/Managing Editor of Mopar Muscle and Musclecar Review at the time. The guys at the New Mack assembly plant were great but extremely security conscious about where my camera was pointing. I have about 500 slides of the whole assembly plant process. Maybe I'll publish them someday. Anyway, this car, VIN #00102 was mine and I must have spooked them so much that they left a brand new Snap-On 1/4 inch drive ratchet set in the trunk. It was there when I took delivery! The car was sold to us (me) at a deep discount as we were going to use it as the project car for the magazine. It was great time. For months after delivery the guys at Team Viper would send spare parts to us in unmarked boxes for the various articles we were writing. I took delivery in Jan of 1993 and we immediately disassembled the body for repaint. The car was going to be the "Bonzai Blue" of the GTS Show Car, only Dodge had no way of painting the prepainted panels prior to delivery. I remember a funny phone call to the Viper guys when I asked for the paint code for the show car's paint. They said: "Well we can't give you the paint code because it's secret...but we can send you all of the paint and all of the emblems and decals, etc." Not being one to argue, I said Okey Dokey! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Here is the assembly line build sheet package. They wouldn't let me keep any of the paperwork but did let me take a photo or 2 of it. No build sheets of any kind ever were left in the cars. They were completely sanitized prior to delivery.

Here was the finished car at Sebring International Raceway in mid 1997. The car held the lap record at Sebring in the SCCA ASP class for a full season. The car was featured in Mopar Muscle from 08/1993 to 05/1995. After the Gen 2 Vipers came out in 1996 my car became pretty much obsolete as it was placed in the class with the newer 450 horse Coupes with the updated suspensions. The car now sits in the middle of my garage with 7,800 "Sunday only" miles, and my kids play in it. It also makes a great work bench too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Maybe in another 20 years it will be worth something as the first Viper magazine feature car in existance.

Rat Tuned, I love the stance on the Chevelle! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Very wicked! How's the engine and drivetrain setup? What kind of time did the blown-injected vette run? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

hi scott,
the chevelle is running a 454 backed by a T-400 and 10" 3500 stall converter. rear is a 12 bolt with 4.88 gears. the vette is owned by a 80 y.o. friend who up until this year would drive it to NE dragway and race it. he would run low 12's at anywhere from 119-125 mph on mickey thompson street tires. car has a super t-10. even though he has a bum left leg don't ever suggest he put an automatic in it!!!a friend of mine drives it sometimes and runs at about 11.40 at 130 granny shifting. we are not serious racers and just like to go up and T&T and help the guy out. he is running a tripower on that blower. very cool guy and we have a blast hangin with him. mike
