Started with a 31 Ford HiBoy in 1960 bought Joe Carboni's Devin in 1965. Turned that into a 69 Camro in early70's. Then built a 68 Camaro Camaro, then I think it was a 65 Monza then a 2nd gen Firebird and now racing our 3rd gen Firebird. Stock body, no blower and our record is 308.983 in AA/FA and 274.125 in AA/GA Thats the fastest among other records still standing.
What a gem. Bill Burke/Don Francisco tank at 0:06; Doug Hartelt's coupe at 0:27; Kenz-Leslie at 0:46; Riley-headed Banger in Fred Lobello's Lady Bug at 0:57 and Lady Bug to follow; Don Blair's roadster at 1:19; Morton and Rubio at 2:33; Chet Herbert at line at 3:24; has to be one of Tom Beatty's or Barney Navarro's engines in the '32 Desoto coupe 3:52; Don Clark and Clem Tebow at 5:24; Ak Miller at 6:14?; Howard Johansen Crosley at 7:55. Correct me and add to it where necessary. This is chock full o' goodness.
Great seeing the old films preserved, wish I could preserve my self cause I was there.

Great footage. Golden age.

Would have loved to have been there then!
I would like to know the year of this footage
