    Stock '65 225 we did carbs on at Ace Fuel in Santa Clara, California. This car made me want the Super Wildcat! Mine is going in a '61 bubbletop LeSabre!! Before and after s pics. 20170310_152215.jpg 20170417_142112.jpg 20170417_143745.jpg 20170417_143802.jpg 20170310_152246.jpg

    What a tank! I miss the days when a full size car was actually "full size".

    One of these days I gotta do that; set my Electra up with dual quads and those lovely valve covers. Alas, the exchange rate between the dollars just doesn't make it viable.

    It was totally loaded..even power wings and vacuum door locks. The "new" owner just liked the way it looked from the road and made an offer. Some guys get all the luck!

    Here's mine. Kinda dusty tho. It's a Dual Quad 425 in my '65 Skylark Gran Sport. It runs pretty good.
