I'm keeping your dreams alive, by keeping this baby on the road!

These are some photos of one of my old cars, it is a 1971 chevelle SS 454 4 speed with a chevy marine block bored 060 over, stroked .250 to 496 cubic inches. It has a solid roller cam, iron rect. port LS6 heads and 13.5.1 wisecoe pistons. Trans. is a borg and warner super T10, rearend is a 12 bolt with 4.30 gears and a detroit locker. When I restored the car, I removed the original LS5 365 horse 454 and muncie 4 speed because I wanted to run it hard, I still have original engine, trans, and cowl hood in my garage

My brother in law has a red one in his garage with a convertible. He spent over ten years doing a complete frame off rebuild. That's commitment!

This site is truly full of my kind of guys. Tractors and old sporty cars. What could be better?

Yesterday we buried the last of my uncles at the Dallas Ft. Worth National Cemetery. He was 87 years old, would have been married 65 years in February, a veteran of both the army (prior to WWII) and navy (during WWII), the best professional carpenter I ever knew, and a good amateur mechanic who restored a 1926 Chrysler roadster in the early '50s. I don't believe it's been out of the garage in the last 40 years, but I suspect it will be for sale before long. And that's what I call an "old" car.

This is what I started with over 16 years ago, so I'm not that far out/crazy than your brother in law

I'm real sorry for your lost, Bird.

All my best to your family.

I bought a new 1971 Chevelle convertible back then.
It was the color of a new copper penny.
Top was white and inside was brown.
Was a nice sharp car.
Paid $$3300.00 for it.

Bird..... sorry to hear of your family loss. At 86, I am certain that he lead a fulfilling and enriching life with family and friends. I know that he will be missed by all the friends and family that he has left behind.
