There is a thread about '67s, so lets see some killer ovals.

That blue oval is badass!! Mine is below that.

Cool wheels. I had the same ones for a few years.

Half an oval, eh pat? You should cut that silly post from the rear window, though. Grin

HAHA!!

Pretty Split, too. Splits were made till halfway through 1953, so they're (in theory) allowed in this thread, yes?

i almost spilt me drink lookin at this!! any more details
I am a little biased toward this car BUT it is one of my all time favorite ovals (1957). It belongs to my good friend Allen and I did the majority of the work building it around 1999 (I think). It has had several different drive lines over the years (I know,.... I have installed them!) It was an Agave green with optional red leatherette interior car and we kept it that way. It now has the Flat 4 Ansen copies on it but has had polished Empi's and BRM's (Flat 4) at other points in its "career". It has a VERY healthy "Ohio" Tom Simpson built 2110 with reworked CB CNC oval ports an FK (was an 86B for years) series cam. It also has an "Ohio Tom" close gearbox, so it really flies. This car is like one of my babies that never really leaves home, since I still do all of the maintanance..LOL  I like it best with its current engine and wheels but I wish he would put his DOT's back on for a more racey look. It is a real street car that gets driven VERY hard on a nice weather daily basis.

more pictures of it please Wink

I agree Allen's car is one of my favorite ovals as well.  Sadly I can't seem to get a pic of it that does it complete justice...in person it has THE LOOK.  And like Mike says, it gets driven hard.
