Vintage cars

[billy]

Here, antique is 20 years old, classic is a style of it's time that is rare and sought after.

yes it would be benny. like the usa canada isn't old enough to have a real antiques .

Well thats some pure bullshit there boy!
My second car was a 58 T-Bird 390C.I.D. , nice boat, I drove it accross Canada and back. That was when gas was still 36 cents a gallon.

true.
i love some of the old shaker furniture. though not sure if they were in canada as well as the usa.

[. . . .]

Old pic of an old car that I take out on Sundays.. Yes it still runs, very well in fact..




57 T-Bird
so thats 53 years old...
It has whitewalls now. Power everything including the radio..

i'd love to have a drive in a beast like that

Ah man its a fricken hot rod even in todays standards. When it idles I love the sound of that deep bass "blubblubblub" sound it makes.
Id give you a ride, in the car.

Id have to disagree.. This is a butch car. I refer to it as a "he"..

1957 T-Bird was a really nice car but I always thought of it as a lady's ride. Especially after watching AG, that blonde was hot.

This one has the removable hard top with the side portal windows and a custom push bar in front.
Its a cruise mobile, fast and tight.

292,312,352 or 390C.I.D. ?

[. . . .]

4-bbl carburetor on a bored-out, 352-cid V-8 later replaced with a Paxton supercharged V-8. Only 300HP though. It is hard on the automatic 3 speed tranny when I want to be in a hurry

(blubblubblubblubblub, damn I love the sound of it idling)

[Benny2guns]

How far was it bored? We used to bore them 60 over and turn them into 390's. 352's were a strong engine, had one in an old ford 1 ton truck at one time that I just could not kill. They will burn more oil than gas and keep on tickin.

[. . . .]

The Paxton i do not know it was dropped in right from the factory crate

[Benny2guns]

Oh, sorry, I build all my own cars and I take it for granted that most people that have vintage auto's do as well. Sorry about that man.

[billy]

to be a real vintage car the parts have to be original to the car and if they do need replacing, they should be done to the original specs of the car. then it would be classed as a restored vintage car.

a car with a engine in it that has a different cc is not vintage. unless of course the modification was done 70 or more years ago.

[Benny2guns]

Well not exactly.... here that would be called a Numbers Car, different from vintage, classic or antique.

[billy]

right

[srijantje]

here's my vintage car,24 years old,original parts,her name is Suzi

[Benny2guns]

I had one of these and almost the same as this picture except it had cragar five spoke SS mags on it and a set of trac bars.

[billy]

in the uk. the big yank car was what many of us dreamed of

[Benny2guns]

I sold it to a young fellow in Nova Scotia and he was killed in it. Lost control in an illegal drag race, hit a bridge embankment, died on impact.

[billy]

My dad drove a 1960 Chevrolet Impala 4-door back in the '60s.

bobs right.

it's a work of art. i'd have killed for a car like that.(not now cos i'm a good boy:angel

@ benny;
hope he paid ya for it
