    I keep seeing some posts about 50 Olds. I was just wondering how many HAMBER's have a 50 . I have a tudor. Not running but hope to put it on the street soon. Mine was left outside for several years and needs lots of stuff. All things come to those who wait or rust away.

    one of my top 5 had a coupe in school and always wanted another one was why i got my 50 chevy coupe
     
  8. I'm looking for a fire engine red 50 Olds coupe for a book cover.

    And still looking for someone living in Santa Barbara to answer a couple of research questions.

    As well as a Marine - ex or otherwise - who trained in Southern California and went to Vietnam in the early 70s.

    Just to set your mind at ease, the Marine Corps will be presented in a good light.

    I don't want to highjack the post, but I've posted these requests before and they didn't go anywhere.

    The pic is the main thing I'm looking for and the other stuff would be a decided bonus....

    there are two guys in the southwest streetrods club, who have red 50 post coupes.

    Either would be up for setting up a photo for you.

    pm me with what exactly you want, and I will talk to them.

    got a 50 olds 98. SMOOTH RIDE! Runs real good, only weird thing is that hydramatic starts in 2nd in both DR and LO. Can get 1st by flooring in LO though.

    This guy we met at the nostalgia race at Bradenton last year. Caught
    my attention on his first mid 13 second run.Its his high school car and
    he had swapped in a 454 out of a wrecked Chevelle in the early 70's.
    after bolting on some slicks(57 Olds axle) and uncorking it he
    proceeded to rip off some 11.80's:eek:. Old guys RULE, what a beautiful
    ride and quite the sleeper...

    Just picked up a 4door that I'm building into a LaCarrera Panamerican racer.
    Running stock cl***, so it'll be 303 with a 4 bbl, hopefully headers and a cam, full suspension work, gotta be able to go around corners fast!!!

    This pic is of my last one; a '52 Chevy 4 door, running a balanced 261 truck engine with a 235 head, Clifford 4 bar and headers, ran very strong, till I went off an "S" turn at about 80, Ouch!
