Re: Mark's Long Haulin 65 Belair
I liked posting this one...not only is it a big car but he is a buddy of mine and many others. He's the go to guy when you get stumped by something you're working on. He's also about 9 ft tall and about 700 pounds and eats hubcaps for breakfast ! A better guy you couldn't find. He's been into big blocks for as long as I've known him. Met him thru my cousin...walked outside his garage one day and there was something blocking the sun...it was Mark...or as I know him by..."Gorilla". He is probably winding down from his second year of long hauling it on the Hot Rod Power Tour...he loves this car and drives it everywhere with his wife Barb...about a hundred years ago he had a 396-350 horse 69 or 70 Nova and I had my 61 Impala with a 409 in it...we pulled out on Lake Cook Rd and had at it....I looked over and we were side by side and there was this giant dude banging away at the 4 speed in that little Nova and here I am pounding away in my giant Impala....I was laughing so hard I was crying...what a blast...but I kept a fender on his ass !!!

That car is "friggin' cool" as those "chicago-ites" say!
Looks like he's driving it like the parts are free! I love those 427 Turbo Jet flags on big cars...  Thanks for posting the pics, Bob!

Re: Mark's Long Haulin 65 Belair
If I had known he was a buddy of yours I would have given him more crap on Power Tour. They had a couple very nice cars. I heard something about adding AC though....
