1974 Hot Rod

[models916]

Found this picture of Me and my first REAL drag car. 1974, I had sold my 69 Nova street/strip car and bought this 57 and a new pickup for towing. Got a 454, 4 speed and 4:88 gears and went somewhere in the 11s. Kept it till mid 80s then sold it to by my current 62 Belair. Maybe should go in the jokes and funnies section? I used to carry a comb back then.

when I get home I am going to get rid of all my early 70's pictures so someone doesn't find one and post it here!!! i have one from the 70's working on my old 66 vette that might be worse, even has butt cracks!!!

What a great idea for a new thread..... Pictures of members with their cars from the old days. Exactly what models posted. Wished I had taken some. Might be able to find something. Something to do during the winter months. Dont be shy. Lets do it.

My turn

I want to go first. Hopefully this will work. You should see a picture of me from back about mid seventies next to my 54 f__d car hauler.

I remember combs. I think I used to own one.

another one

I don't mean to be a hog, but I have another picture. This one is of my camaro on the trailer just before leaving for Utica-Rome dragstrip. It's september. I just got my converter back from A1. Found out they were having a double points and payout that night. I had never been there before. I had a good night too. We went to the finals. Didn't win though The year here is 1974. The truck is my Dad's 68 F__d and a borrowed trailer. Enjoy

Somewhere in 1971

Much too much bike for me at the time. 1970 Kawasaki 500 triple 2 stroke.

My new ride in 75

My new 1975 TA racing a 74 Chevy 454 pickup. I might have won this race.

I'm having a hard time seeing the starting line lights in that photo and look at all those cars driving so close to the drag strip.

Poocho

I was gonna ask why the broom was sticking out the Trans Am's window. After I looked closer, it looks like a street sign.

Mosquito Control

Most people thought the 500 cc (H-1) was a streetable bike. As soon as you cracked the throttle wide open, you found out otherwise. The H-2 was the real killer machine. They would stand up without warning. One minute your hearing ying, ying, ying and the next thing you know, you're hangin off the back.
