I've owned it since 2001. Â*Original 383/4-Speed car. Â*I had the body work done. Â*I built a 451 stroker motor hooked to a Keisler 5-speed OD manual trans. Â*The suspension is road racing all the way with 1.120 torsion bars and a bunch of other goodies. Â* Â* I ran the car at Pocono and at Willow Springs. Â*Not W2W, but DE. Â*I boiled the brake fluid at Pocono. Â*I ran the long haul on the '06 Power Tour from FL to Jersey. Â*The car averaged 16 mpg over 1800+ miles. Â* Custom interior including power, heated buckets from a 300M. Custom shifter to get the shifter ball under my hand. Â*I never liked the shifter Keisler sells you with the trans. At home in CA:

My first brother-in-law had a red '69 in the same configuration as yours. By the time he was done with it it was fairly tricked out. Nice car

My girlfriend inherieted this sweet 1941 Graham Hollywood from her grandpa.Â* He bought it in 1943.Â* This little known car is based on the body of the Cord 810, except it has a different nose, headlights, and is RWD.Â* It was available with a supercharged inline 6, but this one doesn't have the supercharger.
