Is that an original GT40? :jawdrop:
Anyway, my dad has a black '65 Impala w/427 bored out to a 454. It's got Brodix heads, full length headers(3" collectors), custom full 3" piping going through a set of Flowmasters(how orginal...), 3.73 gears and a 3-speed manual. No dyno number's but its estimated to be around 500'ish. I'll grab some pics when I can.
My mom used to have a '69 Chevelle SS. It was a dark maroon color, 454 with an auto tranny. Crazy nice car. They sold it to get some money back when my dad first started up his business. The guy he sold the car to tried to installed a cigarette lighter and somehow managed to burn the car to the ground days later. ******.
Story Time!
*Back when I had my stang we raced a Lotus Esprit on a secluded highway, the Lotus was slowly pulling on me at ~145 and my dad was car lengths on the Lotus. ~160 maybe...Sickness.
