i was a old guy who loved to go drag racing. had a 800 hp turbo charged mustang. well the worst thing happened. was at fun ford event in topeka in sept and had a bad accident at the track, the wife retired my racing plus the car was destroyed. sold off all the parts that i could and went to the good guys show in dallas two weeks ago.

now i am the proud owner of a 1938 chevy coupe. stock 350, 700r tranny, ac/heat/cd player.
this car had a lot of history as it was a drag car in the 60's in california, known then as the killer bee. had a 409 then.
i am the fourth owner , the first had it for 28 , second had it for 38 yrs, third had it for 1 yr and now me.

it is viper yellow and is very nice. only thing wrong is that it has a 1956 pontiac rear end. do u know how hard it is to find bearings and wheel cylinders for that rear.

other then that , i am thrilled and so is the wife that we have a toy to play and restore and update.

Welcome to CHR and congrats!!! Awsome sounding car!
