Humm'd and ha'd about posting these, old pics, but figured I'd share them anyway as they kind of suit the thread.
No chips, no turbos, no SC'er, just a true, 13.5:1, normally aspirated SBC powered '68 Bird. Buiilt this back in the "the day" myslef, sold it to one of my best buds who has been sitting on it for close to 25 years now.... hopefully we'll resurect it one of these days, Av gas isn't getting any cheaper

Wow, I didn't know there was such a thing made available to the public. Judging by your quoted weight it sounds that along with the other improvements it may have been lightened by a few hundred pounds for "pursuit" duty?

Anyway, definitely sounds like a unique vehicle worthy of upgrading.

Since they were all painted black for the CHP, that's the only color it was offered in, but without the shield on white front doors! Dropping it 4" made a huge difference in the amount of body roll. I put in Koni shocks too.

I think I had those Super-V's before both of these cars.

That aside, the near one is my wife's car. It is a rare Indy 500 festival car. It was issued to the track. Only 75 were made. This is number 75 of 75.

I can see this turning into a pretty awsome picture thread

What's that 3 wheeler powered by? It looks good!

Ed VB · « **Reply #59 on:** 3 Aug 2016, 11:50 am »

Thanks Danny. It took about a year to build and have about 5000 trouble free miles on it now.

It is powered by a Suzuki Burgman 400.
