Classic Cars

Cool car, you don't see them too often any more.

Old school hot rodding

Move the clock forward 10 years to 84’ and this was my daily driver. 73’ Spitfire. I think it had around 65hp. It couldn’t get out of its own way but a pissa to drive.

By comparison I had a 2008’ Miata that had 164hp and I think it could run 14’s.

I was watching this car and really wanted to buy it, but I have no space for it so I sent the link to my brother. He actually bid on it and won it! 😎👍

Back in the mid 90’s I had a 65’ Impala with a 327. Wasn’t a rag top or an SS model but I enjoyed it.

This is not my car but a very good lifelong friend who passed away about a year ago, This car was a monster. 1957 Ford, set up old school. IIRC it had a big block 406, the motor was worked to the balls pushing almost 600hp on the dyno at Motion Performance. Fiberglass tilt nose front end, straight front axle, fender well headers, 4 speed, and I think 456 gears. We were in high school and years ago on Friday or Saturday night we would get on Hempstead Turnpike at New Hyde Park Rd and cruise out to Farmingdale where there was a Burger King on the north side of the road right before Zorns. There were plenty of muscle cars back then doing the same thing. The BK parking lot looked like a Vanguard Showroom. This car, CASPER, was very well known. At National Speedway it turned high 11’s - low 12’s. We would pull wheelies on Hempstead Turnpike getting the front end 4’ off the ground. I helped him install wheelie bars. I can’t count how many times we were both under the car changing the blown rear gears. Life was good back then, RIP Kenny.

Zoom in on the you’ll see CASPER the friendly ghost.

Built many bikes, both racing and chopper. RIP Kenny.

Mid 70’s I frequented Bethpage Burger King in a black 67 Chevelle SS, then later a white 68 Charger RT. We would drag on route 109 starting at the rte 110 overpass and also behind Republic Apt on New Highway. Survived all that, now I’m rarely over 60mph.
Fun times

Yup, we did the same things. I love those Charger’s from that era. Very cool cars. Another friend of mine had a 69’ Chevelle. His car was a sleeper. Kind of a dingy yellow color, no badging, black vinyl top, bench seat, auto on the column, but under on hood an L88. Very rare car, and a screamer.

i like this car, will dollow the sale.
