Fly a 1964 Cessna 172, with the O-300 six.
Probably already been pointed out, but (in my humble opinion) the '37 to '48 flatheads are to me the most asthetically pleasing, with their...
Wow! THAT is one of the coolest things I've seen on the HAMB!
Got a '60 Impala 4 door Hdtp. When I got it it had a 2 bbl 283 & cast iron Powerglide. Since it had under 65k on it when I got it, I decided to...
