RE: Car Show



Tears ago at a local car show I was there when a beautiful 55 nomad wagon rolled in and sounded incredible. Chevy guys were whooping it up at the Mopar and ford guys. The nomad owner opened his tilt hood and there sat a 426 elephant! The look on the chevy guys was priceless!.
When i see a old ford and it has a 289 or bb ford I go up to the owner and shake his hand. He stays true to his car. SBC's are the cheap way out.
