Betty ?????

 

This is the famous S.76 Fiat racing car being built about 1910 above and finished below.

This monster had a bore and stroke of very close to 7 1/2″ x 9 27/32″

That 1729 c.i. total or 432 c.i. per cylinder which is bigger than most big V-8 engines in total. All of the details are at TheOldMotor.com

Betty Paige 40+50s pin up girl

 

Actually, it's Betty Page. Same girl.....correct spelling. I know....picky, picky, picky.

 

Presently Aubachon and "The Colatina Exit", if I'm not mistaken?

 

After my '57 Ford and '56 Chevy, I got a '62 Chev with a 327/340hp, 3 speed and 370 gears. That low mileage Vette motor would scream, and the poor 3 speeds would scream for mercy before they blew up.....

 

Next came my '55 powered by a '65 Vette 396/425hp, 4 speed. It was a clean Florida body, fiberglass front fenders. The weak link was all the countless original rears that I disinigrated.

 

While I had the '55 2dr sedan, and a 327/365 4speed '57 Chevy convertible, I got this '61 Vette with 327/300 3speed.

 

I broke the spiders,ring and pinion,wheel studs,u-joints,ripped the control arm off the axle housing....same rearend as yer 55...I got real good at changin 3rd members...

 

Returning home from Maine to live in MA, I traded a '65 Chevelle conv minus its 427 4speed for this '55 conv my friend found on top of other cars in the Belchertown, MA landfill. I had my bosses brother paint it Gypsy Red/India Ivory.

 

I cease to be amazed at the fact that Chevrolet would have allowed a simple three speed transmission behind that 327/300 engine . I used to borrow an Impala that was running a 327 Base line with a 3spd on the collom . Darn thing was fast enough as it was from the factory , well in traffic it was . scrubba
