Default Re: Silly Season II What was your 1st Street car &/OR race c

My first car was a 47 chevy coupe. My dad bought for $60.00 I believe. Got me to school but the "disease" caused me to sell and buy a 55 chevy former race car with a 283.
First race car was the 56 Sedan Delivery of John Dianna. That was third hand and rules changed at the end of my first 6 or 7 weeks of ownership. Changed it to a 2 Dr wagon with the same motor and a glide. Began Learning how to set the timing, valves on a V-8 as I went. Runner up to John Barkley at my first Indy 1970 class two weeks later. I believe we had 19 cars in O/SA. 14.26
