If it’s unsafe at any speed, you might as well send it.

She’s hot as a pepper, and smooth as a mexican brew, (a wise, bearded man once said). I just wanted to see if it would go 90. The car seems to have long legs and it just wanted to go, rode smooth and dead straight. No drama, not like driving an old bucket of bolts, which is also cool.

Wow that’s impressive!

Also that you’re taking a photo while driving a 50+ year old car at that speed, LOL

This makes me frustrated as I knew I should have taken a photo when I got my old Merc 300D (non turbo lol) up to 95mph once. I’ve completed crossword puzzles in less time.

yes, that was way too fast. but it’s really more about the fact that the car did it.

(Dash does not condone egregious speeding, or any moving violations including distracted driving. Dash would like to apologize to that lonely straight road somewhere in America)

Flat-plane engines have always been good about producing a decent amount of torque and power for their size.

i cant say that i blame you, i have done the same thing a few times, in old junk, like that time i took a picture of the truck speedo pegged past 100 on a dirt road, because dirt road. and the times that i have pushed the speedo until it was already coming back around on 71, because i wanted to see if it would peg, or come back around. all dumb stuff. you are not alone. still young at heart.......

all good fun too.........

I thought it was a flat crank, wasn’t sure. it sounds like my corvair, got nothing to compare it to. does not sound like straight six in any way.

The whole enterprise was a bit scary, but the car actually isn’t.

Also the speed limit was like 102 there......

Was it unsafe at that speed?

Dash-doorhandle-6 cyl none the richer > My bird IS the word 04/26/2018 at 17:42

no, that was the three speed and powerglide cars. thus one’s a 4 gear, and they’re safe in fourth.

i have NEVER SEEN a speed limit sign on any of the dirt roads that i cruise.........

That was a joke.

Did you do it whilst cranked on west-coast-turnarounds and cobra whiskey whilst wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses blasting Thin Lizzy’s Live and Dangerous? I sure didn’t, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat. My radio only gets AM.

i cant even hear the radio over the truck. couldnt even hear myself yell over it while going down the road...... and i do all my own stunts while on the level........ acdc would be the soundtrack of choice.......

too bad i can hear it in the truck.........

i get pulled over so regularly, its not worth the hassle. the sheriffs department down here fishes very regularly around the hours that i am usually getting home from town........i get pulled over probably once every 2-3 weeks for something stupid.......

Has anyone pointed out that after you originally posted this, the very next update was that you hit a deer?

no, there were a thousand miles between the two. Pretty sure it was safely in the garage and in another country before I admitted to the speeding, maybe not though.
