[RustyRatRod]

Dayum! What a beautiful car. If I could get my wife out of her 2017 Durango and into that I’d be a happy camper. She says she won’t drive a station wagon.

What she forgets is ever since we got married I buy the cars and bring them home. She has no say in that.

So one day she may be driving a cool old wagon or a Jeep Grand Cherokee from the early 1970’s or something cool like that.

Nice!!!

 

[Dartnut]

What a cool car, and it's even cooler that he drives it everywhere!

Interesting that it was olive drab in the USAF. When I took driver's training in I guess 65 in high school, we had a 58 Chev and an early 60's Stude that were both ex USAF cars, and both were black. They had not been pained, some of the USAF stuff was still visible.

Were they sticks? Damn I’d love to have one of those right now, especially if it was a stick.

I gave up on Lou the dork. maybe he got better?
#1 He didn`t know squat about cars when he started his channel.
2- His channel`s name, Not his cars and not his story.
2- he was/is? really pushy, do this do that, open this and that etc.
Sorry, guy just rubs me the wrong way, there... I said it. rant over

Great video of a really cool car!! Pete seems like a very genuine fella.

I don't know chit about him, I posted this because my friend made it onto his channel and I thought yall might like to see Pete's car.

declaring a car something it wasn't and after several viewer comments correcting, was still hawking the misrepresentation in order to get more views. This in turn resulted in some bash comments. Lost a lot of credibility and respect with that move. Not sure if it was a Hemi car or an Olds. I can't seem to find the video at the moment, but after that video, that's when I stopped watching more or less.

WOW! So very cool! Austin with Obsolete is who we bought this one from, my Dad is 79 and couldn't let this one slip by...

I've been completing the details on this one. Degreased everything for about three days straight and got a pair of early Seventies C body manifolds without built in heat riser from Rusty and installed them. Found a proper Prestolite dual point for a '64 383 Super Commando and recurved it. Set it up with a hillbilly distributor machine (1/2 inch drive drill and wired to coil, single spark plug on the coil and a ground connected to measure individual point dwell) to set the point gap. Added a new battery ground cable, Medice Manufacturing four to six bolt valve cover adapters for a set of black wrinkle MP finned valve covers, new clutch shaft bushing kit from Brewer's Performance, retorqued all the bell housing bolts, corrected spacing on the alternator (the original dentist owner had a reman '63 361 Golden Commando and a new alternator installed many years earlier and didn't get it spaced back properly) and a modern Dakota starter. I'm still in process of installing a 2-1/2 inch dual mandrel bend dual universal kit with 24 inch case Dynomax Turbo mufflers and TTI tail pipes and hangers. I'm really looking forward to cruising in this one again!

If yall wanna talk about this guy can yall please start another thread? That's not why I started this.

I can't agree more with you more! It really surprises me how hard that high performance 361 pulls with 3.55 gears. Also got a set of 15X5.5 Dodge truck front wheels so I can mount some tall 185-15's up front to make the parked steering a little easier for pops and still use the stock hubcaps. I'll get to use up the 215/70r14s on the rear before upgrading to a 15X7.5 seventies power wagon wheels out back. But Oh Man, do I Love that Green (Swimming Pools or Finger Paint) on that '61!

Did you get those manifolds on and finished up good? You never mentioned it

I THOUGHT the USAF also used Navy blue.

Pete is one of those people you're just glad to have around. He's a super nice guy.

 

[subcom]

What a gorgeous car! Love everything about it.

 

[Demonx2]

Cool car! Glad to see old wagons like that.

Thought I'd add this one here too since its along the same lines. 440 4-speed car! I forget what year this one is but this guy built it himself and would bring it to many of the shows/venues I was at when I lived near Detroit. Another similar cool car!

 

[Garrett Ellison]

Yeah, they’re a better fit than what came on it, and don’t use tube nuts either! I wouldn’t doubt if they don’t make as much if not more power than the HP manifolds from some of the dyno results of HP manifolds vs the early B body manifolds.
