1957 Oldsmobile. The man on the far right is the owner. He painted it himself in his garage a dozen years ago!

I bought a brand new Duster 340 in 1972 that was "factory" rated at 275 hp but dyno'ed at 325 hp at the rear wheels. Kept that car until I sold it in 1987 :bang: like a dummy. Still miss that car.....Tom A--oh dear! If Bob had only known--the Hemi was only "listed" as 425 HP--it really was much MUCH more! Some tests put it at 525 HP at the rear wheels--meaning much more at the crankshaft. The Corvette L88 was the same--rated at 430 Hp when it was much more too. NASCAR and insurance rules of the times..good ol days!!
