'65 And '69 Riviera Prostreeters

[FORDSVTPARTS]

First the '65 Riviera, This is the oldest build in my case at about 16-17 years old.

It's the Barris '65 body with an old prostreet T-bird chassis (same chassis used for the '69 Riv).

Running an injected Nailhead from the Ivo four engine dragster.

The '69 Riviera which in my opinion may be the nastiest looking car I've ever seen, This thing is just plain mean.

The 430 big block came with the kit and the blower is from the "Heavy Chevy" Chevelle kit.

And I thought my old 1/1 '69 Riv was hard on gas !! ,,, Pretty cool.

No kidding, Over the years I owned 2 '63 Rivs, 1 '68 and 3 '69's.

The best was a black '69 with a cammed 430, built th400 and 3.42 posi with L60-15's out back.

That car would hook off the line but when you hit 2nd at WOT it would light the tires and start sliding sideways for about 40 feet, Two 16 inch wide stripes of rubber was pretty impressive in a car that size.

I still miss that car.

Lemme get Dad, my grandparents had a '63 that he worked over mechanically and my great uncle did the bodywork on. From what I've been told, it was a real stoplight terror

Maybe I should buy one.
