History Skool me...

I've Seen pictures forever...I want to know more...

 

Ok - Its "School"

 

That's a very popular picture. I've seen it hundreds of times before but dont have any info about it. I'm sure someone here knows that car- it's too bad*** to have slipped away without a name to it.

I know but I Kustomized it

 

When I was in the 3rd grade they had this Hot Rod book in the sKool library that was probably from the mid 60's....it had been there for at least 30 years. i would check that book out everytime....to the point where the teacher wouldnt let me get it anymore. There was a pic of this car in it.

 

Ha ha, that's the first thing I thought too!

 

from the rear

 

WOW, I just noticed the turbo set up, that was hi tech for back then? I guess turbos are traditional

 

acctually those are mcCulloch superchargers.

 

There not turbo's, it's got twin Superchargers and the rod is built right,I love it.

 

Thats easy, just go to the advanced search type in B***' name and magazine. Then you get this cool thread from 2005! I don't see how you folks have trouble with the search ?

Remember, odds are if you can think it up it HAS been posted before! Buwahahahahahah!

 

Um. . . . . . . . . ?

 

^^^^ Yikes.....

 

I would have needed to know the name of the car and who built it before I did a search though...Or the fact that B*** posted about it....I dont live on the HAMB dude.

 

The car was in several magazines and some of the special edition books back when it was built but I think that is the first color photo I have seen of the interior. Way ahead of it's time when it was built but very well built.

 

And you obviously don't get sarcasm!

 

Car was built by **** Patterson in his garage in Rialto, CA. Upholestry was done by Tom Sterkel one of the original founders of the Over the Hill Gang. **** is still a member of the club and lives in Mexico, just below Rosarita Beach.

 

be curious to hear how it ran...... those superchargers should have been good for 5 or 6 pounds each . that thing would have been shootin ducks or a bad mofo depending on the tune

 

I'd like to know more myself...d32

 

thanks for the link Tman.

 

No worries. For a while B*** featured a famous car that was in a magazine spread. I forget how many threads like this he had. I would love to do the same but do not have a scanner!

 

Y-block, coil sprung Dana 44 rear, and '65 Mustang steering wheel... Unusual combination of parts for sure, but damn they work! Who'd have built a twin-blown Y-Block in '66? Even if the project did take 11 years, by '66 the 289 was out, the SBC, the FE and the BBC, all proven power-makers.

If I got you a scanner would you do it?

 

Hey Tman... I think you get a "FREE" scanner with an ink refill cartridge for your printer!!!! Hahaha...!

 

I have a B&W scanner I can misappropriate at work. There are so many cool cars featured in the 60s that it would be cool to bring em back to light!

 

Thank you Tman, for scanning, and your excellent use of the language.

 

I totally agree...Id love to know how it ran

 

Yes, I was very suprised it had a Y block in it....WAY COOL
