I don't think so, but who knows? Cool car though. We scoped it out closely at Monmouth and LaHarpe last year.

Maybe his AC would work if he unplugged all those "necessities!" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Power Tour 08

What a bummer - even the Griswalds can make it, and I can't!

Thanks for the cool shots! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Power Tour 08

I feel your pain Glenn.

God we're sick! I find myself looking for cars I know in the parking lots. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

.....No Tailpipes and the exhaust would eventually heat up the Gas to where there was a Vapor Lock Problem.......Went to a Parts Store and put some Turn Downs on the Mufflers .....Hope that solves the Problem.....

If not, maybe take what you had on Charley's car and turn the exhaust outward and away from the fuel tank (if there's clearance.) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Power Tour 08

Left Springfield, Mo this morning in a Pouring Rain Storm (Traveling Pic's to Follow) and drove in the Rain for about 150 miles,

Wow nice car but is it my eyes or is that a survivor car it doesnt look like a restore to me? Looks like a less than shiny rear bumper.I don't have the best eyes so...... lol. Looks like you guys are having a blast! Stay safe.

I talked to the young lady who owns it. YEP, a girl! She even has a license plate frame that says "No, it isn't my boyfriends car". It is an older restoration of an original A4 Silver 440 Automatic Daytona, one of four built.

She told me she had to sell her 4-speed 440-4 Superbird to move up to the Daytona several years back and that she has no intentions of selling it OR restoring it. Just wants to drive it and enjoy it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

All kinds of great stories out here! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Power Tour 08

Got up this morning in Lincoln with a "Brisk" breeze blowing thru town......we had breakfast and left for Ames, Iowa and it looked like it was going to be a Tough Day driving in the Weather........we drove thru some light rain with the Dark clouds with Lightning just in front of us....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...8/DSC09596.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...8/DSC09597.jpg

as we were about to get into the "Bad" stuff, Scott called on the Radio and said something wasn't right with his car and we should stop and take a look....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...8/DSC09601.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...8/DSC09603.jpg

It ended up that the Disc/ Emergency Brake set-up somehow engaged and the pull arm broke, so Scott and Charley dis-connected the system so we could continue on.....Only now, most of the Bad Weather had gone off to the North so we didn't have to deal it at all.......Perfect Timing for a "Little" mis-hap

Flooding along the way...........

Pulling into the venue.....
