On our current trajectory, it is not out of the realm of possibility.  2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year.

The dragstrip livery looks great to me.

Quote from: shelbydoug on April 13, 2024, 04:15:43 PMI think that it, the 340,  initially had a Thermoquad single 4v carb. 1970-ish. The 3x2 T/A came along a year or so later with the introduction of the new 'cuda and Challenger?

I remember John Dianna going "ape" over the car (the engine actually) and swearing some sort of allegiance to Satin for being given one to test? Something like "the best package ever offered to 'mankind' " or some sort of trash?

I think Dianna had that engine in a Dart or some sort of under the radar contraption?
Odd that it didn't live up to his prognosis?


I appreciate your attempts at educating me with poetic cultcha'. There is always a chance to save my soul? Bless me father for I have sinned. Can a Mopar save me? 

Nice poem but it needs more bass so it's easier to dance to? Which part is the Chorus? I am a dumb chit. 

Does anyone dance anymore?  Do boys and girls and men and women even interact much anymore?  tis a strange world in which we are living.  The words could go to some music but how would be baffling to me.  Melody is almost dead in favor of three chords and a cicada style beat on the cymbal.  Best bass is what comes from the side exhaust on that car.

Quote from: crossboss on April 13, 2024, 07:36:59 PMDon't forget the AAR 'Cuda's...

A kid that lived across from us was 10 when they came out. He started saving his lawn mowing money and when he turned 16 he bought one. I'd wager he'll die still owning it.

Commendable.

As an addendum, I also believe the 340 engine was destroked to a 302 (Nope.  It was 305) five liter to meet Trans-Am rules.

 Three Forty Six Pak

By

She was a stunning ride
The source of all my pride
A three forty Six Pak
On the ready to attack

The engine stirs to life
A sound so full of strife
With hand on pistol grip
I pop the clutch to let her rip

Into battle we must go
Man and mistress all aglow
We will own this road race track
Only me and my Six Pak

The green flag drops and we're away
We charge headlong toward the fray
Then my Six Pak takes the lead
A blur of paint at insane speed

But when I find around the turn
A phantom wreck that there does burn
I turn my wheel but lose control
My car begins to flip and roll

A grinding crash splits the air
My life will end it seems unfair
And when I leave this mortal dream
I know that Death does reign supreme

 

Yeah I know, not Shelby related but it is car related. Always a soft spot for old Mopar.  I took artistic license with the pistol grip and the three two barrels.  I do not believe that the Trans-Am version of the Challenger had either.  But hey, it's a poem.  It's fiction. Enjoy.  Or not.  Depending on your view of the car featured and/or quality of the poetry. 

And in the coming decades there will be the paranormal investigators. Perhaps.

Maybe that homeless individual needs a good beating with one of Isky's camshafts.

Lol youz guys!

I checked it out. I hate it when I find that the reality is that I don't understand the English language at all. At least not the way they speak it?

Or spell it?  At least it gets to keep the spelling "tyre."

They are worth nothing and never ever will be worth anything.....capiche paisano !

Quote from: deathsled on April 10, 2024, 01:11:37 PMA tow bar?  Even back in the day I would have regarded such an add on to be highly inappropriate for such a special car.  I do recall a Hertz from one of the SAAC publications that had a snowplow on the front.  Such abnormalities are known to occur.  Then again, maybe that was their only car.  There was a time when one car garages were the accepted standard when building a house. 

Yeah, I know.  Just old junk.  Mere fodder for the Tail of the Dragon.

You could hypothesize that so is a...um...passing gas. It leaves a heat signature also...or is that what you were initially suggesting...OH! you bad boy!

You are really thinking outside the proverbial box, only to realize that there is no box.

It's a heat signature left by the natural, spiritual aura we all possess.
