Default Re: WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?

age 79
In order: 1935 Ford coupe at age 16; put in a '48 Merc, dual carbs and dual exhaust. Cop magnet.
1948 Ford coupe, age 19; put in a Columbia two speed from a Packard and a 57 Buick V8.
1962 Volvo PV544, age 23; Looked enough like a 46 Ford to include it on my list.
1937 Tudor slant back, age 30; V8 60. Three kids in diapers and could not even afford to overhaul the fuel pump. Had to blow on the gas tank to get it to star.
1940 Ford Tudor, age 37; Small block Ford and C-4 tranny
1932 B Model stake body truck, age 50; brother rescued and restored Granddaddy's farm truck
1941 Ford short door coupe, age 73; Traditional hot rod; built the 284" flathead of my teenage dreams.
1934 Ford pickup, age 75; Also a traditional hot rod with '53 Merc and C-4 trans. It is a my wife's working barn truck
