Bills72sj Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 My sister took all the transparency slides that my Grandpa took starting in 1962 forward. I found these little gems while perusing the library. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Some really nice pictures of the way drag racing used to be. Love that T altered and the Jeep pickup in the background of the first picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not really sure. My younger sister spent the time and effort to convert 35mm transparency slides to digital format. I am talking like 3 decades worth.

'70 Grande Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 That straight-8 looks gigantic in size; I wonder where that 1:1 motor came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made them from around 1930/31 to 1953. It is probably a 320 cid, or at least started out that way, which was the biggest factory version.
