Guest Anonymous Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 hey guys i just have to relate a very funny story of what happened to me today. me and my friends were heading out of town to go pick up a turbo i had bought at a nearby yard and we were cruising down our towns main street on the way to get onto the highway so we could get there. well driving next to us was a old AMC? rebel staionwagon with 360 badging on it with a guy driving it that looked like he was in his late thirties to early forties. for some reason i've always like that lowslung long sleek look of the older station wagons (that and their big motors ) i guess he must have seen me admiring his ride cause next thing i know this guy romps on it and needless to say IT WAS ON . unfortunetly i was loaded down with a full tank of gass and four extra passengers but i still feel that i did a fair showing for myself considering i have a four banger in a car that weighs 4300 LBS (and yes that is how much it weighs, i checked the door tag) i was lucky though and we hit traffic and it was in his lane and i passed him. i have to give the guy credit he wasn't giving up easliy and he switched lanes and comes up behind me and of course i'm "trying" to outdistance him but it wasn't working to well. after that we both hit traffic and calmed it down for safety's sake. i went into the turning lane of a fourway stop and he ended up one lane over from us. so we exchanged thumbs ups and big grins. my buddy and i were tellig him we liked his car and i couldnt beleive what the guy pulled out of his hat next! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FAIRLY OCCUPIED FOURWAY STOP HE PROCEEDS TO DO A MASSIVE SMOKY BURNOUT FOR US!! talk about somebody who has privats that clank while he walks i'm hopin i can find this guy again and actualy talk to him. i think we could really get along well. he seems like my people. just thought you guys would get as much of a kick out of this as my friends and i did.

DavyZ Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Cool story! I got to know a few older guys that I go to church with, and it turns out a lot of them are gearheads. One guy has a '57 Pontiac Chieftain (I think?..some Indian name) and he brought it one night and proceeded to let us know how much horsepower was under the hood!! Too cool.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Beware of old Pontiacs. After all, the 455 looks just like that old 326 or 389. (veg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 actually i finally found the guy and got to talk with him for a bit. the wagon is a AMC rebel SST station wagon. with a 360 CID 2 barrel carbed motor. for only a 2barrel that thing hauled. i bet tat the 2 barrle probably gave him some very good engine response though.
