Love calypso! I am soooooooooo buried in my notch $$$$$$$$$$ that I could never sell it. I enjoy that car a lot though and have a ton of fun with it. I am actually building a 357 that will be aided by a 76mm hairdryer. Should be fun. Small & light + 700 or so RWHP =

Ya, you are probably at the limit of the 302 blocks strength now,unless it's aftermarket as i'm sure you know they distort + crack,but they still handle some pretty good hp for a stock motor.
Those 351 blocks can handle alot more hp, much beefier,I did a procharged,(351 based)408,
with the girdle, I never had it dyno'd but it was one of the quickest thing i've owned,it made huge power + torque,it was STRONG!!!!!! + so quick in that little notch.

Ps, I know you are in ma. so this might interest you.I just called the lancaster kimball farm to see when the cruise night starts,+ she said it officially starts next fri. but there is also a dj + some cars there tonight.

Ya the stock block 302's are good for about 500 or so to the wheels. At that point, you are really testing the limits and your tune has to be right on or you will be screwed. I am using a 69 Windsor block for my new project. That block can handle a lot more than I will be looking to get out of it. It should make for a really fun car. Now that I have the Baer brakes installed, I am ready for more speed. :biggrin:

I am not too far away from Lancaster. I'm sure I will make my way down to Kimball's at some point. Would be nice to see some of the other local Buick guys there. Don't see too many turbo Regals in my neck of the woods anymore.

My buddy has a blue 87 t with an aluminum headed 4.1 stroker that ran 10.1 at 132, that goes to it, Thats the one you see on the kimball farm commercial towards the end.+ i did see a grand national or 2 + another t-type there last yr too.
If i ever get one on the road i will be going to it too,I'm debating whether to put my stock t on the road,because i really want a 10 sec car,+ i know as soon as i put the stocker on the road i will find the nasty one i have been looking for.
I'll let you know if we are going to be going up there sometime.it'll probably be 3 or 4 of us when we do.

Sounds good. Keep me in the loop.

T-Typinator .... you should post pics of your new stang here. Lets keep this thread going. There are some sick cars in here!

 

[corsair231]

My First brand new car: 1968 Mustang GT fastback 4 spd

My second brand new car: 1969 Nova SS 396/375 4 spd.

Dave, you sure loved those leaf spring shackles didn't you? :biggrin:

 

[t-typinator]

Blown stang, Two rare regals.

Very scarce cream turbo t with rare tan interior+chrome package.
Another not too often seen,Limited with Leather bucket seats + console.

lc2rod,I Love the color of that viper,also is that white cobra supercharged?

 

[LC2ROD]

Thanks! The Viper is classic Blue & White. Looks good in pictures but looks absolutely sick in person. The white Cobra was a 94 that was bone stock except for the SVO side exhaust and a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter that I installed. Was a fun car to just cruise around in. Wasn't the fastest car, but was a lot of fun to drive.

Love the new stang and I also love the pair of T's that you have! That cream one is super rare.

Ya i can only find a couple other cream cars,there is a rusty one with blackout package,+ there is a limited too that i know of.
I'll like my limited better once i get rid of the black bumpers,+ find all the emblems for it,but it's incredibly clean, + the whole drivetrain is brand new so i couldn't pass it up for the price. Now it has the trunk + hood emblems on it so it's getting there, some people like the clean no emblem look + those black bumpers but i like the stock dressed up look so much better.


If i have time today i'm going to see if i can get a pic of all three together.

What color is your other T? I can't tell from the pic if its silver, grey or sage.

What color is the interior in that one? Looks pretty damn clean. Why do you need 2?

The limited is grey,with grey leather buckets with the narrow, limited style console.
It is very clean,I looked at probably 10 cars before i grabbed that one,really wasn't wanting grey on grey but there is not 1 nick in the paint,0 rust ,motor has like 200 miles,ported heads, roller cam etc. trans about 500,All just set up + dyno tuned by otto,The trans was all redone by bison i was told.everything is new or redone on the car, + it runs like a top,+ of course the price was right.
+ I have 2 because I came across that cream car + was not looking for a stocker,but just could not pass that car by,I didn't know what i was going to do with it at the time(because i was looking for a 10-11 second car) but knew i had to own it,it is just the coolest tr i think have seen,It's just very unique,+ rare,the color is rare the interior color is rare,+ the chrome package is rare.
not to mention it has 0 rust + 23k original miles,+ is almost completely stock,
it was hit 20 yrs ago but fixed right + drives like a new car,I had it out for a little spin tonight + love the car,+ of course the price was right on that one too.I just put new front air dams on it tonight,if i had the room i would never let that one go,it's just too cool.it's really in the way right now + i know i should sell it + have been telling myself i have to ,but just can't get myself to do it,i know it's going to be one of those i will be telling myself for yrs,that i should have kept, if i let it go,I'm even toying with the idea of selling the limited + keeping the cream one.I actually think i need to sell this house + get something with more garage space.

 

[t-typinator]

What this thread is really lacking is more pics of the green notch.
Actually some of the cobra r + viper wouldn't be too hard to take either.:smile:
All top of the food chain cars in minty condition, like to see more of them if possible.Show them off.

You def. have some nice cars, but that cream colored T is a stunner. Saw one at ATCO last October with black Simmons wheels. I couldn't stop staring at that car. That thing was truly a sight to see. If I were you I would hold on to that cream car no matter what.

Ya i thought they were nice,until i just looked at yours again ,now i just want to go out + kick mine for not being a flawless cobra r or blue viper,That coupe looks like it must be mint too,do you have a full pic of it ?
Any video's on you tube with action shots of these cars?

I took a couple pics of the interior today,+ one i took before but didn't realize i could crop out the plate on the grey one.
If you look to the left of the guages that crinkly looking finish on the dash is the original protective plastic sheeting.
I really need to detail the car flip the mats over + get those plastic ones out when i take the pics but it was spur of the moment,oh yaeh now it has the front air dams on it too ,there was none in that pic

 

[pviking66]

That was awesome to look at! I thank you for sharing.
My father is a 70 chevy guy. He owns an Ls6 chevelle hardtop and an LS5 convertible. Also has an ss 396 el camino.
He taught me how to appreciate all makes and models.
Thats why I have grand nationals and monte carlo's.

That cream car is clean. I love the tan interior in these cars. You def. don't see that too often.

Unfortunately, I don't have any you tube videos of any of my cars. Not that computer savvy. I just learned how to post pics.

I don't have great pics of the green notch on my computer, but I may take some this weekend and post. All the pics I have include my plate, which for many reasons I would rather not post online.

Almost forgto the most important car of them all ....
