Not a CSC but definitely Classic

[bigeasy1]

Gotta love the old muscle cars.I owned a 62 Chevy Impala SS convertible 409 with.Dual quads, and that particular year it was rated at 409hp as well as cubic inches.
I updated lots of stuff on it,new cam,heads,valves,rockers,and was able to get a lot more hp out of it.
It was a street car but I could fairly regularly squeek out 12.3 Et's at Lebanon valley and Connecticut valley dragway,and that was with street tires.

Also had a few 55 chevys,one with a 283 C.I. "corvette motor" that I put six(yes it's true,6)Stromberg carbs on.I was one of those guys who had to have it today.I went to a local speed shop to get a dual quad manifold,and he didn't have one in stock,but he "did! have a six carb model that fit the Strombergs nicely.
What a nightmare it was to get the linkage to work,but it was a quick car.I got stopped by a cop who made me open the hood,and he couldn't belive the six little chrome air cleaners sitting on top of the motor.
He told me that it was illegal,to which I replied that he had no idea of what he was talking about.He wrote me up for disturbing the piece.

Had another 55 two door hardtop with a 327 and a big AFB Carter on it,was a beautiful car,not a speck of rust and fairly fast.In between the Cevys was a 56 T-Bird that the guy I bought it from(for 6 hundred) had stuffed a 390 in.It was kind of beat up,but damm! that was a scary thing to drive.Had some land yachts as well, a 56 Biuck Roadmaster,a 58 Olds88,and a cream puff 1966 Pontaic Bonneville.

Got a lot of speeding tickets and other awards back then.Now I see why my parents thought I was crazy.

The worst thing now at my age is watching Meccum auto auctions,or Barret Jackson,and seeing the muscle cars and other stuff that I owned going for $100,000.00 dollars,when I remember selling them for.under a grand,and one for five hundred bucks.

Sadly like most people who were in their teens at that era we didn't take a lot of pictures.Now I have to see if I have one kickin around.It may sound strange but I have tis recurring dream that I still have the 1962 409,and I take it out on weekends,I wish that dream would come true.
I always said that in addittion to my Classic Secraft,I love to have a classic muscle car.I gotta work on that.
