My favorite Hillbilly... 421 and stuff...
 

My favorite Hillbilly... 421Tri power block and Muncie M22 and my Pop , he's 80yrs young...

Well, he looks like one cool Hillbilly, even if he is 80 years young. 5 good things going for him... a Coors, a 66 GTO, a 421, an M22 4 speed, and you N an B. :thumbup: ;) And he's got good taste... he's hanging with a 66 GTO :D

Now get that Goat back together and on the road... she needs to purrrrrrrr again. ;)

Is he the original owner?

Torq Thrust and satin finish=BAD ASS.

Very cool!

Pop and the 66 are cool! I miss my pop!

Dont see any hillbilly do'ns in that pic.
Agree, that is one sweet bad ass ride.

Unless that's a Pabst Blue Ribbon and he has white socks and black loafers on, it don't qualify...lol.
Cool pic either way though. The Rebel flag really fits the car too.

Il ike the emblem in the grill

Gary, you got some good eyes, i didn"t even see the can of beer, although it should be a Miller Lite to be right. LOL

Im hoping i can be doing the same thing at 80

Rich, my eyes ain't all that good. I just took a wild guess, so it's problably some other brand 'a beer. I just hope I can be doing the same thing too at 80.

My Pop was born in Hardin County Ky, just outside E-town... My cousins live deep in Appalachian Mountains of KY... And my Son lives Morgantown WV... I know there's Moonshine somewhere in my family ... I kid you not.. My Pop came in 1953-54 to Ca. via the USN. to get out of those hills.... Thats a Coors lite ....

Hey it seems I made a pretty good guess. :D I sure hope you get that Goat running and back on the road soon N&B.

I looked at those pics two or three times before I realized that there's an engine in the car already. I see the trips....So what's the deal on the engine and tranny?

They will be the future components for my 66 , a 1965 Tri power engine with correct tri power unit, Muncie M-22 with original hurst shifter, and 373 in the rear... If we don't go on Strike !!!! She has in her now a 428 -tri power unit - Muncie M-20,355 in the rear ...

Seeing your Pop looking that good and so full of life at 80 years young should give us all hope for our own futures.

What I wouldn't give to be in the same great health and still be so active when I am at that age. Love for one's family and staying involved in a great hobby that keeps you active makes for a long happy life.

I wanna be like your Pop.

I just bought a '64 421 HO not too long ago so I'm working on getting there. ;)

Looks like that 421 had an automatic on it from the flex plate on it. If you use that engine, don't forget to put a bushing or bearing into the back of the crank for the manual trans shaft to ride in. Nice looking car! Best of luck with it!

That car is BAD ASS, & you pop is a pretty tough ole dude too!

Thanks for the pictures & the smile they put on my face!

I never new I would like Pabst....:usa2:

Nice ride & I love the Stars & Bars on the front plate.

The Goat is painted Hot Rod Black??
What are the wheel sizes and offsets?

Thanks,
Don

Just curious...but why take a 428 tri-power out and put a 421 tri-power in? Seems like apples for apples... Got a problem with the 428?

Apples to apples , Hmmmm ...is like red delicious are better Honey Crisp...

Hardin county. Thats pretty close to Henderson isnt it?
My inlaws and most of my wife's cousins live there. Great people.
