Detroit race car

[chevyandpontiac]

This car was purchased new by 2 friends in Detroit, Yes Detroit not the burbs. Here is a picture of the car after leaving Tony's (Scuncio). Tony got the car mechanically sound but it still needed a trunk floor and had a crushed quarter panel. The car was stored in and outside for 30 years.The original owner is still around and I do talk to him. He raced the car at the Detriot Dragway. I did replace the floor and fix the quarter panel, I also added a straight axle and tear drop hood. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/01/full-10756-2197-1964_f85.jpg

The car was a record holder in 1970 with a 14.61 http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/01/full-10756-2200-1964_f85_16.jpg

Tony can you add the interior picture? I don't have any on my computer. The interior has new been changed, the blue carpet was out of the original owners house. When they replaced his sons carpet the old carpet went into the F85.

very cool history

[chevyandpontiac]

Correction, I did not change the interior, it is just as the original owner left it.

[Hemicolt]

Hey Dan!

Just to be clear, I think the 14.61 quarter was with the original 330ci engine, correct?

The interior still looks just like that.

Yes he did get it as fast as 12.55, how cooler are these old time slips. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/01/full-10756-2204-1964_f85_17.jpg

When I find old race cars, they are rotted to the ground. You guys get lucky with the solid ones.

I'd like to see more pictures of this one please, It's right up my alley...

[markjohnson]

Love the Olds F-85 and I wanna more about the Chevy II also!

[scuncio]

I'll start a new thread on the Nova. Not nearly as cool or trick as the F85, though. Just an old war horse with a straight axle and a 427.

I finally got the 66 Chevy II running and driving. First time since the early 80s....

That looks like the carpet from the f85. Did you go back to Phil's house and take that out of the back bed room? Love the car we need more pictures.
