Re: Car Show in Tombstone

Jon, as a car enthusiast, just gotta share a couple images of my youthful first car project.

1956 Chevrolet 210 Sedan, bought used as a Coca Cola company car.  Pulled engine and trans, replaced with 327 Chevrolet short block, blueprinted, balanced, forged pistons, Three two barrel modded Stromberg carbs,  Duntov 30/30 camshaft, solid lifters, and other stuff, coupled to Borg Warner T-10 close ratio 4 speed.  3.70, 4.56, and 4.88 Posi-traction gear sets.

This was all when I was in high school and college. Ran it several times in class B Modified Production at the drags and always got beat.  Sure learned a lot tho...

Worst mistake I made was selling it when I went into the USAF in 1966.   I've had several better cars since then, but this is the one I most fondly remember.

These are cheap scans from color neg shot with a Kodak Pony 35mm.  And stupid me, I never thought to take a photo of the engine compartment, which was really clean (in my young opinion at the time)  Hey, it never caught fire....
