Vehicles just gathering dust at Westech:

Norm's daily driver:

Does this have a HEMI? You bet your sweet ass it does:

It has a lexan cover for diagnostic purposes!

Anyone recognize the window glass in this picture?

This is the power plant that rattles that window glass:

Here is the answer:

Here are the factory headers:

Norm's shop is like a trip back in a time machine...what a rush.
 
I like the Plain Jane 70 Challenger. Probably a 318, or /6 car. The yellow Challenger looks good too, but I think it would have been better if they had not added the R/T hood stripe to it.

Its the place where Sean Roe tuned my truck...they have a dyno and complete machine shop...been there for 40 years. Next time you visit we will go up there and look around, it is about 25 minutes from our house. Saw about 6 or 8 hemi blocks just stacked in spots...It is owned by Norm Brandes, he is a long time MOPAR enthusiast.

I think the 65 Coronet is probably worth $300k, it sounds incredible. The picture of the glass shows the extremes that Dodge went to to lighten it. The glass is half width, the sheet metal is very thing and light, there are no additions other than things that were necessary. Here are a couple of more pics:

Oh, here was another vehicle at Westech...which by the way, fell ignominiously, to a little black pickem' up truck...hehehe...I don't street race...but I had a slight backslide last Friday night...the owner of this beautiful car was a little embarrassed...Viper owners do not expect trucks to beat them by four or five car lengths...his cam and headers were not enough for the tmts supercharger.

Now the one on the trailer (orange) was one that I would not have tried...that is one scary powerful Viper!
 
Great pics Roy. I really love the classic muscle cars and sometimes think I should get one...............then I realize that my truck has all that power, handling, and looks without any of the hassles of a 40 year old car.
