Day 2 or 3 cars. Photos

[StriperSS]

Well, I hooked up the scanner to my new laptop, and went round in circles for awhile. I figured out it works a different way on this computer.
Anyway, here's the next one. This car was owned by the guy a few houses down from me. He had a string of Hipo Pontiacs ending up with this one. This photo is from 1971. He went through a few Pontiac motors with this car and finally ended up putting a 435 Hp 427 in it. He bought the engine from Lincoln Auto Wreckers just north of Seattle and put a big Holley carb and Edelbrock manifold on it and headers. This car had power everything on it and ran a 13:00 on it's first pass. It was a 4spd car. The custom paint was by 'Boots Pinstriping' in Vancouver BC, and was pretty wild for the time.
I'd have to say that this guy had a huge influence on me getting into cars. There were always nice cars hanging around his house, and guys going through the gears as they left.
Back then the high riding look was in vogue.
