[d100clubcab]

Occasionally I manage to take a good picture of my car. Love this shot

Nice ride!
Can you post more pics from a direct side angle and let us know what wheels/tires you're using?
I have similar plans.

Thanks

Thank you for your interest in my car

Well, the 273 signage on the hood was chosen to be more "period", it's actually a 318 running a 600cfm edelbrock on a performer intake,cast manifolds,904 'box, with a 8 1/4 SG rear running 3.23 (I think) gears and ,of course disc brakes up front.

Out of interest, have you posted any times for your car? I'm going to our local track this weekend to do a little run what you brung, It will be my first time ever ON a dragstrip!!!

Beautiful car BTW, I just love the 63/6 darts. Whose headers did you choose? how were they to fit?

I bought short Spitfire headers from Laysons. They fit well.

Took this one on the track at Homestead raceway last month.

Nice car!

Thanks Ulf, when it comes from you, it is really appreciated.

Found a good shot of my 66 Barracuda taken at a local cruise night.

 

[gold66cuda]

I think I put a picture of my car up on here years ago but I would throw up new one as I made a wheel change a couple of years ago.

Took my car for a long cruise today, fabulous weather! These early A's are really fun to drive, they need more respect!

Pop quiz: There are at least 2 things shown that didn't come w/ '65 Signets, what are they?

beautiful signet

My wife phoned and said she loves that car and that she sees 15 inch wheels… She also says it's got no mirror on the drivers door

 

[396 Signet]

Thanks for compliments! Chrygore, love your red Signet too. You're half right on the wheel thing, no 15's on '65 A's. Side mirrors were an option, many didn't come with them. Never realized how much you use side mirrors, kinda like riding a motorcycle without, you're constantly looking around. The other thing is unique to '65 Signets, you almost have to have one to know what it is.

 

[chrygore]

You have a different steering wheel, or it's on upside down? Not sure if the larger version V8 emblems you are using came on early A's or the just smaller ones?

 

[chrygore]

How about the body colored door lock knobs? My car also has chrome door lock knobs but they may have previously been switched ?

Just guessing, Wheel lip moldings, & rocker moldings.

The steering wheel is original but upside down. Those are the stock emblems. You're right though, the '65 Belvedere emblems look similar but are a wee bit bigger.

How about the body colored door lock knobs? My car also has chrome door lock knobs but they may have previously been switched ?

No, those are actually black, they're the original ones. They sold chrome ones as a replacement.

Just guessing, Wheel lip moldings, & rocker moldings.

No, those were standard on all '65 Signets (cudas too).

Big hint: has something to do w/ the front fenders.

 

[chrygore]

View attachment image.jpgThe lack of a drivers mirror kept pulling my eye away from the lack of the Chrome fender spears on tops of the fenders...65 signet only!! My bad...

 

[chrygore]

There's something obviously pretty wrong with this picture as well...what do you see?
