[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3663783, member: 24583"] Ha, today I was visiting my hangar area with my 56 Chev Bel Air and thinking I should may be sell it since I have not been driving it. In my early street hot rod days in the mid 60s I had a 2 door post with a warmed up 327, muncie 2.54 low 4 speed and 3.70 positrac that pegged a 400HP dyno at a service shop. My Ole Green Shoebox was fun at the stoplights around Tulsa in the late 60s against the newer flashy stock factory stuff of the time. Several years ago I ran across a 4 door, virtually stock except for the carb and air filter, even with steel wheels and a working AM radio, decent interior, 265ci motor with 6K since a good overhaul, 3sp with OD with no bondo that I can find, Only one little ding. It even has an add on AC, haha. I was thinking about redoing it to get back close to the olden days since it already has a 4.10 rear gear since it has the OD unit. Well, I never got around to doing that. I drove it around a little and enjoyed it, but life got busy and it has been parked a few years in my hangar. It would take a new battery and a carb clean out to get it back running. It is not a show car, would have to have better paint, but it is a good 20ft pizza getter. I always heard when you retire your life gets busier. Yep, that is true. Still on my list to do someday. Thanks for sparking the memories. [/QUOTE]
