oldtimer Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 On another note, Adrian Beltre is one hit away from tying the hit total of one my top five all timers, (non-pitchers) Rogers Hornsby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed something...the best muscle car ever is a ’69 Roadrunner (Orange of course!). Oh YESSS.... with out question.... that also is one of my all time favorites.... back when I was a teenager one of the neighbor kids snagged a 69 Road Runner with a 440 4 speed for $500.... I was soooo jealous My dad had a 72 Road Runner..... I balled my eyes out the day he traded that car..... 56 minutes ago, oldtimer said: Practically grew up with a 68 GS 400, MKP.

Now bump it up a year to a 69 GS-X Stage 1 ....... that my friend is pure American muscle..... 455 cu in ...... 510 ft lbs of torque at just 2800 rpm One of the most under rated muscle cars of it's time...... and I believe Buick made the "last" true muscle car.... 1987 GNX..... The 1st time I saw a turbo GN at the track I was like what the he!! is that. It was running a big block chevy... I'm thinking that big block is going to dust that black Buick... Both lanes were staged..... Buick was spooled up.... lights turned green.... Buick's front wheels came off the ground and dusted that big block... I was like OMG.... They just don't make cars like that any more.... imho.... MKP :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason correct me if I'm wrong..... But was stage II a dealer install? Hmmmm... just did some internet detective work.... and as per Wikipeda.... there were only three stage two's ever built and all were dealer installs...... Kenne Bell was involved in one of the builds. I spoke to Kenne Bell one Saturday..... I know it was a Saturday cuz in the catalog I had of his there was a tech line # that you could call and speak to him, but only on Saturday between what ever hours it was..... Long time ago.....

The catalytic converter was taken off, gutted and reinstalled. I also put a colder than stock thermostat in it. The first to second shift would roll the tires hard and it would chirp both rear tires on the second to third shift. I also sent the digital cluster off for repair as the stock one would only read up to 85 then just flash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
