'68 Chevelle SS 469

Not to cause an arguement in a photo forum, but a wheelie bar means jack crap about how fast a car can run especially one thats never been on a track before. They are on this car for "show" in my opinion.

But back to the photos. #7 would be best with a different back ground.

Well, no. I ran into Gary tonight & it was extensively raced before he bought it. He said he'll try to contact the first owner to get times.

Here's a shot of the trunk:

well judging by the setup of the car im gonna say it needs it, most cars dont run around on wheelie bars unless it needs

You'd be surprised the cars I've seen with them & the driver can't give me a 1/4 mile time? You'd think that they'd at least find a marked road out in the country & use a stopwatch, but noooooo!

well here in our area, if a car needs one its got one. If it doesnt need it then fine, there are cars in the deep 8s without them here.

Too many wannabe's here. Some are building the car they'd wished they had back when. Doesn't mean that they have a clue how to drive them?
At least they're keeping a car alive for someone else to buy later & they haven't been "Rode hard & put away wet!"

I agree, keep it in nice enough shape for me when I get it

Exactly!

I'm confused.... Losing the wipers ( what the ...... in the rain???) but you have a huge hovercraft propellor inside the car.....

Backwards logic....

Sweet ride though for sure.

High 10s maybe. You can put wheelie bars on anything-it doesn't make it any faster. Nice pics, and a nice ride too.

Wipers, linkage, & motor = weight. A lot of these guys say that RainX on the windshield works good enough unless it pours.
We raced in the rain on a road course without wipers. I wondered what the guys in the back were "seeing"?

I put RainX on my '72 Pontiac and I haven't used the wipers since.

How is it with low flying birds?

I'm faster than the birds!

More on that: I read in R&T today that a 100# reduction in weight = 0.1 sec less elapsed time. That would figure out to about 17' for a 120mph car.
When I raced sports cars, I never filled the fuel cell for sprint races. Every little bit helps.
