G'day

That is indeed my car. It is from a series of photos taken for Road & Track
(I think) magazine during the 1950s. The BN3 just happened to be in the
background.

Glad I got rid of that ugly external rear vision mirror and the tow bar.

The chap who ran the Dipstick Digest sent me a large print of it some years
back, before his sad and tragic accident.

When we grew up, 283s then348s [truck motor] and 
327s were
THE only ticket in town <G> !!

WHY the 350 went thru the roof and remains there 
is beyond
me <G> !!!

In the early-mid '70s I got a '64 Camino with 327 
& 4 speed.  Worked on it a TAD and I could blow 
the doors off those 350s <G><G><G> !!!  It was 
FUNNY !!  Then I got a '69 in '80-'81 that I 
dumped a 327 in in trade [sucker got the 350] and 
I DID do some 'tricks' and hardly anything could 
touch me yet car was a GREAT daily driver !!!

350 = bah  !!!   LOL
