This has a 572 big block, He also had a old for ford pick-up with a 429 SOC motor and a 1962 impala ss with a LS3
Had lunch with him and Fina in 2016. We laughed, talked about the old days growing up in a small town, the cops knew us and we knew them and that the the movie American Graffiti could have been about us.
