OMT,

I was thrilled to see the 109.75 mph. I usually ran 105-106, but on this run, there was a tailwind and everything else was "just right." With 7" M&H slicks and the 3.90 gears & wide ratio, it got off the line really good and ran 5500 rpm through the traps.

In 1965, my '64 had three-tube Doug's headers and a '61 big Pontiac Tripower (flat manifold). As part of the sponsorship, the dealer put the headers on and installed the 068 cam. I pulled the heads and milled them .035" and installed Isky Polylocks.

Since this was my only car, I usually washed off the Phil Tolkan lettering on Sunday nights so I could drive the car to work Monday morning without too much police attention. I re-applied poster paint Saturday.

Could very possibly be in storage at Wright Patterson AFB for the Air Force Museum and waiting to be restored or prepared for an exhibit - or at the Smithsonian in DC, waiting for the same thing.

Thumbs up So many GREAT pics on this thread!

A few that bring back fond memories for me as a kid in the late 50's / early 60's. Wanted Dead or Alive with one of Hollywoods best ever - Steve McQueen. Last two pics are my cap guns still in the original box.

That Dump truck's a R-Series International. Probably a 190 or 210 series. IH trucks are another serious interest of mine!
And yes that power pole's a monster!

Here are a few more. Steve - note the hitch on the '66! The apparition in the 2nd one proves that in fact the location is the Pearly Gates.
