Kiwi, It was big of you to admit that you bounced the car a little to get that effect. I was wondering about the traction as well. Doesn't matter. That is a BITCHIN shot of you and the car. I saved it to my collection!!!!!!!!!!

Last ran in the 9's w/ 427 BBC and modified Hemi 4-speed - one pissed off car.

 

Imitation is the finest form of flattery...

What shade is that? Mines just gold engine paint out of a rattle can from *duh* Carquest.
Sure is mighty purdy huh? I think all of my engines will be that color, like a signature.

I had originally planned on going candy apple red and cream on mine.....but now I'm thinking black and gold.
Think I'll go back to red and cream.

 

Mine:



My dads:



My Grandpa back in the day:

 

its Universal Gold Engine paint from the rattle can as well. looks awesome, made that engine look ten times better. forget the candy red and cream, black and gold with cream pinstriping is the wave of the future....

 

Same damn gold! **dies**

Hahaha black and gold is a new wave, we could be twinsies! I'll learn to wear button down shirts and you can learn to wear my leopard print high heels.

Lengthen your calves, but MURDER on your ankles.

my Dad's car that we're putting on the road,he's had it since '69.

 

some i have on the computer

 

Tony,

Who makes those valve covers? I ran across a pair of those and the guy thought that they were Corvettes from '69 up. They are similar but not the Chevy part. I may buy them just because they are unique.

Tom

 

SB, T400 - great old car!!

 

Tony's are either cal custom or camaro/corvettes from the early 70's

 

I've got a set of Cal Customs.....minus the breather holes and with no provision to punch them out either.

Those look like the later models but who's to say.

 

I sold the black magic car two yrs ago and shipped to new york now its back for a little repair and ill ship it back once again ..........here it was and is ...

 

ok who has more pictures of this one. the boys from Dice magazine cruised this one around from California to Vegas...it RULES!!!

 

Some day they will run again.
