SoCal Car ****

Love this '65 Ford. My first car was a 'vert like this (except mine was that Champaign color).

This is all the pictures I could find just in my little town. There are literally 150+ more cars that are around me but these are just the pictures I did not delete. The picture with the '70 cuda is a guy who's kid is a classmate of mine and he has a '70 T/A challenger (x2) that Boss mustang, a couple of camaros, barracudas, trans ams, and a few chargers. Potentially a mod top car too but I will need to check on that.

No, oddly enough they were just cruising around and I saw then at that gas station. just passing through my town on a roadtrip, never saw them again.
the orange one was the husbands, 106mm turbo small block, and the other was his wife. Nitrous car.

Its funny, when I was in like 4th or 5th grade I though i lived in the most boring retirement town with only stupid hondas with straight pipe exhausts; that was all i saw when going to school. But, in the last two years, I made friends with one guy because on the way home form school, I saw the 440 powered austin in his garage. (that garage pic w/ the ALF on the supercharger) Then, he introduced me to his friends, and his friends to their friends, etc. Now I know that i live in a sleepy retirement town with a bunch of badass old guys who finally have the time to build the cars they always wanted. (and it just so happens most of them are mopars.)

That reminds me of another guy.
I met this guy two weeks ago when my parents saw his car on their evening walk.
This guy hat lives up the street from me is a retired cop from LA. In the mid 80's, he had(s) a 1971 duster 340 H code car. And his wife had a 383 4 speed roadrunner. He told me that every day after work, (when he was driving his duster home) he used to race all of the kids he usually pulled over stoplight to stoplight. He told me that he and his commander (or whatever it is in a police force) had bets on who would win that night racing. And no matter the car, or condition, he would "whoop their ***". well now the car is sitting SIDEWAYS in his garage waiting on a 360 to be built and eventual restoration.

Love the Austin gasser, and i'm glad you mentioned the 440. I guess i didnt look close enough, i would have swore it was a small chevy. Kudos to him, for doing something different!

Its a stroker too, 512, 6-71, hilborn mechanical injection. That's a mock up block in it, he used to be a custom car painter in the mid 60s, had a shop on whittier and everything. But, the engine that IS going into it is chamelion painted. it shifts like crazy, and is just insane.
*another interesting thing about the austin is that it has a rack and pinion steering that he (gary) engineered in his garage.
*ANOTHER thing is that its an HEI conversion. all of the ones you see today are the prototypes that HE built. he showed me all of the original blueprints and stuff. He is a legend.
