This is either a 64 or 65 Chevy II, tricked out ‘almost’ like a C/FX car, but I couldn’t see under the hood. As a matter of fact, it didn’t have the correct hood on it, but this car obviously has seen some track time.
A closer look at the rear window shows this car is an LA car (Area 1), and probably raced at Lions (probably the most famous LA track, even though the last race was 40 years ago). It’s also sporting Pomona competitor stickers from 1970 and 1971, so this car did compete at the highest levels of the sport back in the day. And that old B&M Hydro sticker probably dates to the late 60’s (I did look at the interior, and yes there was that old B&M sitting on the tunnel).
Sadly, I have no idea who it belongs to, or the rest of the story, but DAMN it brought back some fond memories…
Nice ride! Even if it is “Brand X” =)
Is that bad boy street legal now? In my day, the rods could run the streets straight off the headers…no mufflers. One of the best sounds in the world. A roaring car engine, a jet flying at low levels and my grandkids laughter. Could listen to them all day.
That does bring back the memories, doesn’t it?

They have a big NRHA Hot Rod reunion here in Bowling Green every year.
Every time I see a ’65 GTO go bye I get a little weak in the knees.

Keads- Watch it!!! 🙂
CP- Oh HELL no… THey’d tow it and crush it in CA if he tried to drive it on the street!
Rev- Yep! 🙂
Rick- That it was!
Gerry- I’ve been to that one, and oh so true!
Today I am amazed by the “kids” and their “tuner” cars. While I prefer 427 cubic inches, a 400 hp Honda is impressive.
WSF- It is, but it STILL sounds like a pissed off sewing machine! Gimme a pushrod V8 anyday!
