Vintage SCSam Scardino "Circa" 1971-1975

Cool pics. Looks like fathom blue? You seemed a little thinner back then. White pants under the car? I bet Vera started chewing your butt early on about that.

What were you turning for RPMs on the big end?

[Salvatore]

yes thinner. 205 now and 175 back then. Biggest problem is that my wheelbase shrunk some over the years! LOL White pants were in Mayor. We all wanted to be like Grumpy. He wore white pants alot back then. Going thru the traps at around 6,000 from what I remember. Needed to be singing alittle more for a better ET. Dusk blue in 1969 I believe.

[Schonyenko2]

Yep the dusk blue would be right. Was thinking 70. I remember white pants. I wore them a lot too. Didn't do much with bell bottoms though.

I would have thought your trap RPMs would have been higher with the lower gears. Must have been a taller slick.

That's good though. 7 k's better for a 302. 6 on an LT1 is still pullin

Great pics and wow as Sam moves up to an even higher pedestal w/ me than before...seriously!
I miss hot pant and mini skirt chicks too, so much for progress and today's tongue pierced/tramp-stamp tattooed women.

Thanks Pete! Actually my wife looked good in them back in those days. They were patent leather or vinyl.

Thanks again Dave. You are in the wrong profession. That is a prom date with the girl friend. The Elcamino is a 1971 SS that was my dads till I bought it.
