But, but, but what about this? The deadly and lethal E Charger.

A one minute paranormal short about a man and his cherished Corvette.

That's a bad ass car.  What kind of induction system did you have?  Your namesake may be an indication.  If so, how was that exotic setup?  I was suggesting the cross-boss for a friend but he seems to want to keep the stock carb on it.  The cross-boss aesthetically is very pleasing to the eye.

Isn't today the 60th anniversary of the release of the Mustang?

Yes the Shelby VIN tag exists and it is on a restored car. Period reports and previous owners indicate how little of 105 is left from when it departed SA.

From memory, the cat in the box cannot be simultaneously both alive and dead?
Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it exists somewhere else, neither here nor there, and not necessarily as a cohesive whole but rather in sub atomic particles scattered across the globe.

Much like Schrödinger's Cat? 

See how many people get this.......

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.
