But, yes. Very nice cars indeed.

Post by: Just a Six? on June 17 2012, 05:34:12 PM: I had a 69 or 70?? Coronet RT with the scoops on the hood but similar to that one. Came with a 383 4 speed. I had no $$$ & little tools but I swapped the 340 from my Dart into it. I have 1-2 pics in my photo album. It was primer grey with Red interior!! Cragar SS rims 410 rear end that was lots of fun in the city but I never saw the track with it. Man that car brings back so many memories!!! :rock: :player:

Connecting Hwy( Astoria) racing came along years after Brooklyn racing and car building and Cross Bay in Howard beach. I know the cars in the video and all look better in person :atbeer:
