Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

Maybe I'm biased but how about Howard Barsky's 1957 two door station wagon with 283 cubic inches and dual wcfb carbs running 11 teens in SS/NA going through the traps at 9300 rpm

You aren't biased Mike. Standing at the finishline and listening to Howards car come by is like seeing and hearing the great old G/MP cars like Fat Fred Hartman, Hildebrandt and Siriani,FJ. .......uH OH , I'm getting misty eyed. ........Tom

Two of the oddest combos I've seen would have to be the U/SA AMC Matador Sta. Wgn. from Cal. It had a 304 2V combination and was on this website for sale last year.
The other would have to be Bob Shaw's 4dr Cadillac Seville that holds the T/SA record now I believe.

Is this where Bob would say "and the fans went wild"?

I remember changing a transmission in a Corvair when I was probably 16-17. We did it in a barn! That was one of the most miserable jobs I had to do in my life. As few of them as there are now, they are neat cars, today. As long as I don't have to work on it.
