    like I said, other than lowering the suspension a bit, that thing is amazing!

    Yes, this is THE Legendary "First R&R" record from Jackie Brenston with Ike Turner's Band. Ike & his band, later to add Tina, was a St. Louis mainstay for decades. I met him and saw them many, many times through the years.

    No matter what you've heard about the personal side of their story, "on stage" they had one of the most FANTASTIC shows you'd ever see !!

    And, "Rocket 88" is still one of the coolest Oldies to Cruise to !!

    Definitely an underappreciated car.
