Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Bought a 57 Olds in 1962 went to the strip and ran in the 16s! Thought I was hot stuff until those GTOs came out. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] and no smart remarks Mr.70 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Some of you that post at Team Camaro might remember this so play along and lets see if any figures it out... This is fitting here as my first car was a 1963 model and was equipped with an alum block, alum heads and was an 11:1 compression from the factory V8. I'll check back and see if if anyone figures out this super car!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

You guys are too good!! '63 Olds Cutless, 215 cubic inches of alum power, 4 bbl and all!! The car cost me $300 and came with a 4 track mounted on the hump. That little mill had 100K on it when I got it and I put 60K more of pure abuse and not a problem. The mill was way before it's time and if GM would have pulled it out of the closet when the import craze hit it would have altered automotive history... Here's a '64, there wern't any major body changes that year... http://autohobbypage.com/cgi-bin/ima...l98/all048.jpg
