It was my every day car but was also my street racer & drag strip car. With some tweaking & some aftermarket parts (suspension, headers, slicks), I was running a consistent 12.7 seconds in the 1/4 miles at around 105 MPH. This was a pretty good time for those days.
Today I Cruz in my 1965 Corvette with 425 HP ( my avatar is my Vette motor) or my 55 Chevy with only 350 HP.
Had the '69 SS Chevelle 350HP all # match and now have the '65 Corvette coupe L79. Milano maroon, 4 speed all # match. It's faster than the Chevelle but I bet that big block is a blast. Coupe or roadster?
