I love seeing the original stance of these cars - low with a slight rearward cant.

60sstuff 11-08-2018 01:07 PM

PRICELESS

Always enjoy these.

Takes you back in time.

Thanks, Chris.

Absolutely love all the Vintage photos you gentlemen have posted so far.

Yes, many of these pics have been posted in the past, but it’s nice to have a refresh.

After all, we own this kind of Vintage Muscle that first appeared 50+ years ago.

Chris.

Awesome photo!

That “rake” is no doubt suitcases in the trunk, with the shirts hanging in the back.

Red on Red on Redlines vacationing at the Hoover Dam.

Thanks!

Proud 64 Owner. Check out the tires, white wall w/outer redline. Great look!

I really like the look of that red one with redlines and wheel discs. Is that at Hoover Dam?
Notice how many of these cars came without rally wheels.

OK reeling this back to 1965! ;)

Nice Pic. Good to see young '65s in which the bumper still fit perfectly. What color?

Automatic, tripower, gears (presumably) and leaky but legal exhaust cut-outs :--)

I'll guess at somewhere in the 13.:30-40's ???
(given Royal was going 12:90's with a 4-speed Ram Air I in 1967)

The front bumper looks like it's off a first gen Camaro, or a Pinto.

A bit of tire rub in the front I'll bet!

I would guess quicker than that.

We were going 12.90s at the end of the '64 season (NHRA B/S) and consequently 12.90's in the first outing with our '65.
