Dedicated Day 2 Thread

[Keith Tedford]

I bought this '68 Ram Air 400 automatic Firebird with about 6K miles on it. The original owner had the car done up then fell in love with a new L71 Corvette. The engine was balanced and blueprinted and had the Royal Bobcat kit added along with headers. Trac bars, and shackles were added to give tire clearance. The rear rims were widened for big M/T tires all around. The Camaro spoiler was added and painted in the black paint scheme. The car was done before it ever went on the road. Can't get any closer to Day 1 than that. I kept the 'Bird until a certain COPO car caught my eye. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2583...01686729SNDbca

Sam and Bill, thanks for the compliments. The car ran great for 1968. Even with the COPO car tuned and headers added, I think it would have had its hands full with the bird. It's hard to tell because automatic cars never seem as strong as a four speed one all things equal. There was a guy around with a '68 4 speed Chevelle that he had a 427 transplanted into. Beat him by about a car length. The weight difference probably made the difference. They were close. Wish I had the car back but after seeing it in September '68 the car just fell off the earth.
