  • Scott, that one made ME pucker.....what failed to make it hang open like that?

  • The gas pedal rod got stuck on the plastic surround on the floorboard. We found out that before my dyno runs, thankfully.

  • Good deal....my oldest son seen this clip, and is giving me hell for not allowing him to take on the '66 the in-laws have(it's too far gone). BTW, this be "Tiresmoke!"

  • I remember you talking about it. I still see 65, 66 coupes, non SS for cheap.

  • I thought if the gas feed was stuck on a car like that, it'd rev to 7,000 or close to or at8,000 RPM.

  • I got it shut off as it passed the 6000 mark. I dunno know how far it would've revved since I didn't have the rev limiter chip in it.

  • "Hot dayyumn, billyjoe! That doggun thing was soundin like a hayerbewsa, and it still KEPT GOIN!"

  • @papioscott i hope your kidding about the chip...

  • Hey you might have thought that was a bad thing but I thought it was pretty badass myself, well worth it and had it happen to me once in a 79 chevy stepside pickup with a souped up 350. I was under the hood giving it throttle when the stupid piece of shit eldelbrock throttle lever went back farther than what it supposed to, and I couldn't get it back, so the only thing I could do was run back around the truck, get in, and turn the key off! SCARED ME TO DEATH but hey it's a chevy it wont blow.

  • i had the same shit happen 2 me in my 68 while i was cruzin,not da buzz

  • LOL...the boy graduates in May, could end up getting him something. A west coast car would be a better foundation for certain.
