Well...
I Do like the looks of the "new" mussel cars but fact is I ain't got that kinda cash.
I am excited about getting my V8 ranger back on the road though, and that's about as fast as I'm gonna get to go.

Central office production order
We have a winner! (Kinda easy for bow tie fans?)

That answer is actually required knowledge for any authentic Chevy guy to know.   ;D

Today you don't need to know anything but your checking account number. Get it right from Chevrolet.

Ok Jerry, what will it be:

A new modular  Supercharged Cobra Jet



Or something a little more Classic?
Either one would go good with that Classy Chevy.

Not sure who's Dragster that is. Tom hoover tried a SOHC for a couple years. The Chrysler went back in. I never had anything but Chevs.

This is the original GSTA AAG/Dragster. We bought it in 1963 and put a 292 in it

I think the "dammer" 427 did have hemi heads. Same for the Boss 429.

I love that new 5.0. Would sure love to stuff that baby under the hood of the Marauder.......Or CV23!

That is the 427 SOHC or "Cammer" it did use Hemi heads and an overhead cam. The Thunderbolt's used a 427 Hi Rise motor with dual Holley 4 BBL's

From looking at the stripes on the "body" I'd say it was Carrol Shelby's Super Snake driven by Don "The Snake" Prudhomme.
