Learned to drive in a '67 Dodge RT 440 Mag. Then I bought a stock '51 Ford Victoria. Went from the '67 RT to a '69 Super Bee SixPack. I think I still hole the speed record on Main St. in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Unfortunately I don't any digital pictures of any of them. I did find a picture of a '51 Ford Victoria with the same paint pattern, only mine had two spotlights whcih I had some real fun with. Moosetrot

A friend of mine (now deceased) holds the record for White st here (25mph limit) Doing 120mph with 2 witnesses (one in car) with a late 60s' T-bird. That record may stand for a long time or forever , White st is now so congested even late at night to make a run like that nearly impossible.

We don’t have any fancy cars but we do have a place for when they aren’t feeling well. Nice shop , plenty of room.

My ride I built up 2 years ago. Bought on line from Connecticut. 1979 Chevy Caprice Aero Coupe. Stock it was a 305 V8, 3 speed automatic w/2.76 gears (a dog). Then I proceeded to build it. Replaced the rearend with an 8.5 posi. w/3.73 gears. All new hub to hub. Replaced the engine w/headers and dual exhaust. It was a 350 stroked to 383 w/aluminum Corvette heads. Purchase a 700R4 transmission and installed a special crossmember. New HD driveshaft. It still needs work (as usual). But as always a project in the works.
