I am at the track last night shaking down my new trans in my Malibu last night and this older Italian guy walks up and asks if I have any belts in my tow truck. I look around and find a few. I ask, "What are you working on?". " A 67 442" No shit.
Turns out these three Long Island childhood freinds are putting one on their bucket list. They drove this pretty nice 67 all the way from NY to FlArida to visit John Antellinis' Cars of Dreams Museum cruise this weekend. They decided to kill some time to taking the car to Palm Beach International Raceway.
Vinny, the owner, bought the car right before his tour in Vietnam which lasted until 71. The car sat in his parents garage until he finished college in 78.
The car literally has 29,000 miles on it. 1500 of which were put on since Monday. While I was fixing the belt issue (The three had a combined age of 228) I asked Vinny what was up with the G headed 455? He said the 400 cracked a block in 85 sitting in the cold winter sometime in the 80s. He said it is sitting in Boca right now.
So, I put the alt belt back on, the tree jump in, and Vinny dumps the clutch doing a fairly nice burnout for a guy in his late 60's early 70's.
No apologies for this crappy cell phone pic. And yes, it is a post car.
