Musclecar trivia

the 66 GTO holds the record for single year highest production with 96,946 made, and here is the odd thing. That was only 10 percent of Pontiac's sales that year. That is an example of how few real muscle cars were made.

The 409 engine was put into less that one percent of the cars it could have been ordered for in it's entire run.

the 1956 Chrysler 300B could have been optioned with a 6.17:1 axle

the 57 Nash Ambassador got the new 327, and in the light Rambler body was only 2nd to the Corvette int he zero to 60 time according to Motor Trend

in 1960 the Chrysler 300 could have been ordered with a french built 4 speed manual, but only 7 were ordered this way for the 300F

Goofy advertising nomenclature for car options in the 1961 Dodge D-500 Polara: Safe t Matic door locks, Hi Way Hi Fi record player (16 2/3rds rpm) and the Astrophonic radio, and the Mirromatic rear-view

The Rebel Machine is in San Diego! Ebay score out of Tennessee

eye candy from Hot Wheels tumbler

always finding cool stuff: http://hotwheels.tumblr.com/

I recommend you find a speed shop, one with a dyno...

And an owner who digs Chevys, Fords, and Mopars (yeah, I still need to catch a shot of him in a Mopar... it'll happen)

Where the guys are happy

The prices are on the wall

The floor is full of Hi-Po parts

And you'll find old cool stuff

And new cool stuff

Proof of award winning recognition,

and racing

Where the service signs are hanging around ( I misplaced the Chevy sign photo)

And they specialize in something

..... but work on everything

Big blocks of all varieties are found... 427 Chevs, 528 Hemis

and they work on race cars, muscle cars, and off roaders too

Some new foriegn cars, and old American's

And new econo-boxes to old Bufords

Where safety goes in, before the parts break out... the driveshaft in the above photo, bottom left area... twisted itself in half... between the TWO driveshaft loops. And it made all the difference when that driveshaft let go and tried to relocate to the drivers area.

These photos are here cause I just dig the full drag race car

(Back to my story... ) and where things are coming together
