Thanks for the pictures and just the thought of driving a machine like that to work everyday.

I like it! I'll bet that T bucket was a hand full when you dipped into that huffer on top! Do you still own it?

See what you made me do. Mama Squatch's toy!

I have a sweet spot in my heart for Camaro .

The " T " was a all steel body , 350 eng and 350 trans with 4:56 gears and was built to race red light to red light . At sea level on a cool night in San Diego beaches it would run from 0 to 100 mph threw all 3 gear and not stop burning the tires . When I got my bike I sold it . I've been riding MC since 1958 and is my 1st love .

NO .......... It is a B&M and is the same as a 4-71 GMC which is perfect size for a 350 chev street machine . I got 17 mpg with 600 cfm double pumper Holley and 4:56 gears . NOT bad for a red light street racer or 1/8 mile drag racer . It was a fun car to drive and head turner .

My Bronco II gets about 17 mpg. The 1970 F250 gets about 10 mpg. That's why I drive the Transit Connect which gets close to 30 on the road and 25 around town.

My Miata get 30 mpg , my Mustang get 27 mpg with 93 octane race tune on it and 30 mpg with 87 octane street tune . But My Honda Rebel get 80 mpg at 60 mph and 75 mpg around town .

Here is a cool looking street rod that was at the York Nationals in York,Pa. last July. Powered by a Chrysler 392 Hemi. I actually like cars '55 and up and not really much on older rods.

Try the "refresh" button (F5 might also refresh the page) on the browser. I often have to do that to view inline pics.
