I'll bet that "Do not open above 145 mph (126 knots)" decal on the wing vent is from an airplane. Neat car though.

Is that sticker "Not for street use" real for that car?

I have seen one before on a fairlane. I dont know if it was original or not.

Yes those would be right. Trying to figure how old(young) you all are. Even GM had the fan caution. About opening the vent window sticker at those speeds 427TJ you would be wrong. My brother had a '64 SS 409/340HP with super tall gears and 4 speed. It would do about 150 or so. As the speedo did not go that high it was a conservative estimate. I borrowed it in '66 on my wedding day and questioned him about the broken headliner. He told me he was smoking and opened the wing window at about 140 and it sucked the headliner down and broke the bows above the back seat.

pretty ballsy, @ 140 i'd want both hands on the wheel.

Who was the Headliner back then, Greta Garbo?

He probably had been drinking as he owned a bar at the time. Besides, he is a truck driver and if it won't do over 110 mph he modifies it (the truck) to make it do so. He has sprint car raced in the '60's and the snow machine has to do at least 120 mph. Oh by the way he is always 1 ticket from losing his license and is 71. Yes, he is my OLDER brother.
