Always had a "soft spot" for sleepers ....back in the 60's ( in my Chevy days ) had a '59 Biscayne , medium blue , grey bench seat interior , with a '63 Chevy 409 dual quad undedr the hood , 4 gear , 4.88 rear end .....not good for top speed but would get there in a real hurry . I had a fake single exhaust sticking out back with the headers tucked up close to the frame so you couldn't see 'em . Chrome reverse rims were a slight give away . One of my old buddies still says it was the wildest ride he ever had . It took a lot of people by surprise as they would see '59 Chevy taillights fading off in the distance . Fun times .

Did you watch the K car annialate the Supra? Halarious. The big B Body wagon was cool too.

scott420p · BRAMPTON, ONT

The k car was pretty impressive too along with the caravan lol. I don't know what it is about the wagons but I've always liked them.

GhostPost · ONTARIO

Me too. Id like a wagon next.

i like nothing more than making something absurd or odd really fast. i saw a meter readers buggy fitted with a hayabusa engine that would do like 9's or something crazy like that. i have always had a wet dream to build a second gen chevy sprint into a mid engined tubbed dragster

A few years ago at a local street show, a Divco Milk Truck , 454 Chevy powered , showed up ...wondered how that sucker would deliver ?

I remember an 11 second late 70's Bonneville running at St.Thomas back in the 80's.

Dave Scott · ANCASTER, ONT

I still plan to build another crazy MX5 (Miata) sometime in the future, and it will look completely stock.

This is still my favourite video of my last one. I'm driving, and Steve (another Scot heading over here soon) is filming on his old nokia. I'm racing a Ford Escor Cosworth, stripped out and converted to rear wheel drive (normally AWD). They were the creme de la creme back in the day.

Those cars seemed pretty even to me Dave, but you absolutely annihilated him on the light/launch!!! smile

Yeah, but mine started with 116 bhp, his had a starting figure of 225 bhp, before he stripped it out and added a bigger turbo etc

I pissed off a lot of people that day in my hair-dresser car with a passenger filming their embaresment lol

My uncle owned a 1964 Ford Galaxy. It was a big boat with the comfiest seats you've ever sat it. Under the hood was a 428 cobra jet stuffed in it. He drove it from up here in Ontario to Florida and took it to the track. It ran mid 10's . Driving down the road you'd never think it would pull so hard.

el toro · LONDON, ONT

In 1972 I was 18 and in my first year of drag racing a 67' el camino 327 /375hp or there abouts 202 angle plug heads,headers, 4sp 411 Eaton lsd rear it did a respectable 13.4 @104 all day with Newby retread slicks. One Sunday in the first round I line up against a sea foam green 65-66 F85 Olds a little low in the ass end, painted wheels and mufflers. We both dialed 13.3 I won with a 13.37 and he ran under by a full 1.2 sec 12.1. Not great numbers I know but in the day at that track a rare thing. Never seen the car after that. A stretch but does anyone else remember that car.

1/4 mile track near the old Race Rock restaurant ... not quite sure what the name of the track is. He's got the video of it running on VHS ... wish I knew how or had the machine to upload so I could post it. They ran the car down to Florida with a set of highway gears and swapped them out when they went to the track. The engine wasn't a stock CJ either, it was pushing some serious power. I'll try and find a picture of the car .

He had $36 000 into the car , had just been finished for a year , went through a nasty divorce and sold it for $6000 (back in the mid 1990's). Whoever bought it got the deal of a lifetime .

When I was in highschool, my dad put together a 9 passenger '67 Dodge Coronet wagon-complete with "R/T" trim-440 4spd! It did the 1/4 in Sparta in 15 flat vapour locking in high gear through the traps. Not bad for a 4150lb car! Total sleeper on the street

sasquatch · NORTH BAY, ONT

el toro, parklane here may know if this was at Sparta, as that could possibly be the Kirshner brothers from West Lorne. Sounds like a car they would have, quite the characters!!

BARRIE, ONTARIO

1970 Pontiac strato chief 2 dr hdtp 350 sbc 125 k miles untouched except for crappy alum intake an cheapo chrome rocker covers , 3 spd std trans converted to floor shift no posi , ran 16 . 6 , at 88 mph at I think 4202 lbs with me at like 215 lbs .
I always laff remembering , it was so close to the finish line I just held it in 2nd instead of wasteing time shifting to 3 rd ha ha .. good times . shifting to 3rd it axeually slowed it down a bit ha ha ..77.

Could be that thing was just fast. When it ran it squealed and hissed like a cop car.

No, Ron & Jerry were strictly Olds guys. They did get their 58 Olds 4 door to run in the 13s, and that is one heavy barge.

Don't really want to call BS on this Ford, but do you know what it takes to run 10s with that car?? If it did run 10s, I can't see where it would be very street able, BUT I have been wrong before, and don't mind apologizing profusely if I am.
