Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

[Mike Carr]

Here are a few that I can think off in recent times, that haven't been mentioned already.

Billy Nees built a pair of 110 cid 4 cyl '85 Sunbirds that I raced, a FI version for HF/SA (Mark Yac raced this car before I was given it), and a turbo version for AF/S. Greg Philley's W/SA 140 Mustang. Billy's own pair of 230 I-6 Novas (two of only three in the country? Greg Fulk has the other). Billy's own 307 4 door R/SA Nova. My current car, bought from Tom Kasch, '92 Olds Toronoado 231/170 for FF/SA (the Stephenson family from IL have another ex-Kasch Olds, a '91 Delta 231). Bob Shaw has had a few since I've been racing, an early 80's turbo Buick V/SA that he raced at the '01 Class Nat'ls, his '85 El Camino V/SA, his turbo Capri 140 (throttle body) U/SA, An '86 Caprice V/SA and his current FI Cadilac U/SA Mark Walton's early 80's Mustang turbo stick (FI combo, was I/FI, now P/S), Yac's early 80's Turbo Stang stick U/S, there is a guy from northeast Canada Vince Hazel, V/S mid 80's Camaro V6. ANother car I had the chance to drive a few times, Cap't Jack McCarthy's U/SA '60 Chevy Kingswood wagon...4470 pounds, 283. I could go on and on, if I thought about it more. I love the odd, one-off and rare combinations...most of which are the older cars. Anyone happen to catch, at Barrett-Jackson, that '65 Ford Galaxie R-code 427/425 that went for over $100k? Wonder what that would fit? I would guess around SS/GA? Bob Hammel a few years back in Div 1 raced a '67 Galaxie, I think it was a 427, in SS/GA. Oops, there's another one. At the Dutch in '06, a genteman had a mid 60's big Ford with a 390 or 352 for M/S, light blue, I forget his name.
