35 years ago today I brought home my 57 from Joe's Auto Sales just out side of Hastings Mn.$140 for the car and a bunch more over the years.Met a lot of good people with it.
congrads are in order. some of us have cars and tools that go back farther then wives do.
Happy Anniversary! Got mine from the folks in 73. Raced it for years also. Good Times :004:
10 years back I had a party.This year I was in bed by 7.30.Of course it fell on a Saturday back then.Thanks guy's.
THAT IS SO NEET THAT YOU HAVE HADE THAT CAR THAT LONG. IN 1965 MY FATHER BUILT ME A 57 RAG TOP WITH A 368 LINCOLN MOTOR,4 SPEED B&M HYDRO. I LATER TOOK THEMOTOR AND TRANS. AND PUT IT A 2 DOOR SEDAN(I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIGHTER TO DRAG RACE) BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW PIECES FROM THAT FIRST RAGTOP ON THE 57 SUNLINER THAT I AM DRIVING TODAY. TOM
I don't remember the dates, but I bought my car in the summer of '71 at a local wrecking yard for $25. It hit the strip in the fall of '71, and I have raced it continuosly with the same engine combo, the F code 312. I don't count '71 as a race year, so this year will be the 37th year racing this car.
