Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Yea Charlie,

I'll have my guys watch it...while I watch the auction https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Or you can leave your purchases at my house. I promise not to tell your wife what you bought! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

That 68 Biscayne AWB is probably the one from St. Louis. I had heard that it was sold to someone in Arizona. It was parked in back of a repair shop about one block from my house about 10 years ago. Anyway that car is a real 427 425HP L72 car when new and the wheelbase was altered very early in the car's life. It used to be yellow with flames and was quite well known in St. Louis as a street racer,even ending up on its roof one night during a race!

Charley
The Crowd at Barrett-Jackson has agreed to watch over one of your purchases.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

I believe I have pics of that AWB 68 Biscayne back in the late 70's at one of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals where I was a participant...as I recall, it was yellow with red flames or something....

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Oldmobile

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

I knew I had a pic of that Biscayne...August, 1978 NHRA Street Machine &amp; Van Nationals in Tulsa, OK...I'm sure it's the same car per the info that Mark provided in an earlier post.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Good Picture Bill!

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Yep...that has to be the same car...notice the wheelie bars on both cars.

Totally https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Bill!

Belair...are you looking?

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Yeah, that's the car from St. Louis. It was originally built by Hollie Swindahl(sic). He was well known as owner/builder/driver of the Backup Pickup in the sixties. It was an early Ford truck exhibition vehicle similar to Maverick's Little Red Wagon, only it wheelied backwards down the dragstrip! He still owns it to this day. Back to the Biscayne, a friend of mine owned it back in the seventies and then it was passed around quite a bit around the area. He said it was quite a rough ride but it would go on the back bumper at will.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Cool Stuff Mark... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Any chance you may post a pic of your AWB Chevelle?

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

I sold the Chevelle several months back. It was a modern project car that never got very far along. I was searching for a real car with race history and ended up buying the ex-Braun Bros. 1955 Chevy C/Gasser last summer. Straight axle, magnesium 5-spokes, and lots of engine setback.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

The more I look at the Biscayne...it looks like it needed a tad less rear altering and maybe a pinch of front to look more "even"...that sure is a lot of overhang un the back !

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Cool Mark....Thanks for the info on the Biscayne.

We wouldn't mind if you wanted to post pics of the gasser https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Yeah cut loose with a pic of the 55 Mark !

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Attempt to post.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Yeah I know, not really a supercar but still a load of fun to drive on the street. This car was raced by the Braun Bros. with a Hilborn injected 301 from 1964-67 then stored for many years. It has the original magnesium wheels put on in 1964, Kellison Car Co. 'glass tilt nose and doors, 57 Olds rear, lots of engine setback and a tranverse spring straight axle up front. I'm currently trying to shove a really nasty rat motor and 4 speed in it. Really tight with the motor next to your legs!

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics

Speaking of totally sick '55 Chevys. Note driver position.

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

Bud that looks like a pic from one that was sold on Ebay awhile back. Wonder where it went. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

I don't think it hit e bay??? or did it??, you have a link to it???

I bought my '68 Camaro from the guy and he had this up for sale on a local classified add a couple weeks later..I posted it up incase someone wanted it, maybe that's what you recall??? cool car but man it was rough it sat out in the rain up here for a long time with no cover over it...
I planned on asking the guy where it went..I just have not been by to see him....

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

it was on ebay quite a while back.. I know I got the pics somewhere.. link is long gone I'm sure

Re: Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics
 

missed it...I thought the local add would have sold it right away...like I said looks cool until you looked inside then you shook your head and said do I really want to tackle this car....there was nothing inside but the pedals and the columm...the floor boards were that real dark rust color..I didnt even want to push on them with my finger for fear the whole thing would hit the ground..
