Re: Big Car guys - here's one for ya !
HOLY CRAP !!!
I owe Rob Clary - - BIG TIME !! I asked him to post on the SuperStock Forum, to see if we could track down the original owner of the car..... I just got off the phone with the original owner, outta Sioux Falls, SD !! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] I was IMMEDIATELY asked if the car was For Sale ! He told me all kind of neat original history on the car. Including the stint in 1970 where it had a ZL-1 between the fenders, running 10.95/11.0's !! In it's original L72 forum, it was a consistent 12-teen car. It was campaigned as <font color="red"> **Ennis's Menace** </font>. He ordered it originally with 7.50 x 14 blackwalls with FULL wheelcovers. He specifically didn't order it with optional rims/tires, 'cause he planned on putting Cragers on it. The smog gear that I got with the car was taken off THE day he picked up the car. It definitely looks like it - it's mint ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] He says that he didn't take ANY pictures of the car originally, because it was "just a race car" back then. But he does think that a buddy of his has a picture "somewhere". Hopefully, he can track it down. He had to get off the phone, but said that he'd give me a call back to talk more about the car. Whatta day !! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/  [/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Grandpa's car vs. Grandma's car!! or Casey's 427/425hp Biscayne vs. Brian's 427/425hp Marauder!! As for repayment, just remember not to embarrass a certain yellow Camaro...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Big Car guys - here's one for ya !
Well, I've been thrashing to get the 'Scayne ready to return to the track. The *aluminum* Schieffer flywheel was SEVERELY cracked. The clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing were right in line with the flywheel .... JUNK ! All that is replaced, and ready for me to make my inagural pass down the track tomorrow at one of the FAST races at Norwalk. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
[/img] I'll be in the Factory Stock class. My goal is to get a baseline on the car so that I have something to work from. I've got it pulling strong to 6500 right now - - so it should be fun. Now I just havta get my manual trans driving skills in check .... that will be interesting ....... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
