When I'm Not Jamming, I can be found working on my Hot Rod. My Dart was a Dragster and I recently got it all back to street legal. Let's see your favorite rides.

I've been In Mount Airy, NC for 7 years and I don't even have to inspect cars over 25 years old. The lights all work. Brakes & Tires are Brand new. Still need Seat Belts installed but may put in Buckets with Harnesses. She's extremely loud so I take it easy in residential areas,

Had the Z15 RPO code, which is the Super Sport trim package, but the GMC's didn't get SS badging, just the two-tone paint and front spoiler.

| | | '58 Mercedes-Benz 190SL, 4 cyl,. 1.9L naturally aspirated w/ dual Solex two-stage carbs. Not a hot rod at all, but it's a thrill to drive. Gets around 20 mpg.

5 point harnesses are not street legal, at least in NY. I was told this during one of my roadside meetings with Johnny Law. I don't understand why, seems to me 5 points would be safer than three, and my harness releases easier and quicker than any stock belt I've ever owned.

It now has a Mint Black Bench seat but the Belts were omitted by the PO  . I found a set but have to get them installed.

Thanks for the Pic's & keep 'em coming. It's cool to see that so many of us Bass Players like our Older Cars too. Man I'm GAS'ing for a Norton now.

Yes, it is very fast, hugs the road, and actually gets 32-34 miles per gallon on the highway. They also came with a V-8 that is even faster. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
