Detroit race car
This car was purchased new by 2 friends in Detroit, Yes Detroit not the burbs. Here is a picture of the car after leaving Tony's (Scuncio). Tony got the car mechanically sound but it still needed a trunk floor and had a crushed quarter panel. The car was stored in and outside for 30 years.The original owner is still around and I do talk to him. He raced the car at the Detriot Dragway. I did replace the floor and fix the quarter panel, I also added a straight axle and tear drop hood. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...7-1964_f85.jpg

The car was a record holder in 1970 with a 14.61 https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...964_f85_16.jpg

Re: Detroit race car
Tony can you add the interior picture? I don't have any on my computer. The interior has new been changed, the blue carpet was out of the original owners house. When they replaced his sons carpet the old carpet went into the F85.

Re: Detroit race car

Re: Detroit race car
Correction, I did not change the interior, it is just as the original owner left it.

Re: Detroit race car
Hey Dan!
Just to be clear, I think the 14.61 quarter was with the original 330ci engine, correct? |

Re: Detroit race car
The interior still looks just like that.
Yes he did get it as fast as 12.55, how cooler are these old time slips. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...964_f85_17.jpg |
Re: Detroit race car
When I find old race cars, they are rotted to the ground. You guys get lucky with the solid ones.

Re: Detroit race car
Love the Olds F-85 and I wanna more about the Chevy II also!
|
Re: Detroit race car
I'll start a new thread on the Nova. Not nearly as cool or trick as the F85, though. Just an old war horse with a straight axle and a 427.
