A few pictures of my car!
« on: January 08, 2013, 02:20:01 PM »
First picture of 2012

Picture from the cruising at Power Big Meet in Sweden, one of the largest AmCar meeting in the world, 10000-15000 cars attending

Picture from River Valley Run, our local car show, 1500 cars attending, only 1 mile from my home

Picture from today, finally found a space saver spare! The decal on the bottle is wrong, this is actually for the red 12 oz. bottle that I modified a bit, will do until I get a correct decal.

Picture of  a fellow T/A owners car from my town. This is from the opening of Wheels Nationals River Valley Motor & Music festival 2012, which is the official name of our local car show.
Car is a 1970, think it's originally SD 455, but now has a crate engine at approx. 650 hp, IIRC Butler engine.

Mike that's one beautiful TA you have there !   Your friend has a sweet looking 70 also . Doubt it was originally a 455  SD before as they were only available in 73-74

A few more:

Pic I took of the engine in the 1970 in 2010:

A pic from the opening of "River Valley drag strip", first a buddys 1972 Formula, then my car and then the 1970...

Me and my friends cars

The car behind mine from the cruising at Power Big Meet, don't know much about, just random luck we happened to be driving together, it's probably a 1975.

I like this picture of my car and our local "Highway Patrol"
