Got my old car out for a Rt 66 cruise today and had someone pull up next to me to say how much he loved the smell of the exhaust. What can I say 106 octane with lead does smell wonderful. ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | ||

106 octane with lead … Hm. Even as a little kid I liked the smell of diesel exhaust. My little home town was on US 40, and had a bus stop for Greyhound buses. I loved their aroma. Those big, sleek buses seemed so exotic. Yeah, I know I’m an outlier, but I am what I am. Serious about crackers | |||

I detest the smell of diesel, but the smell of unburned hydrocarbons from performance engines running high-octane, leaded gasoline brings back memories of my old street-racing days  Nice ride, OP ^5 "America is at that awkward stage.

Lets just say that I have a connection for 100 LL. This tank was a concoction of 110 racing gas, mixed with the 100 LL and some 93 premium. In my youth when I built this engine I never gave it a second thought making the compression 13:1.  ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | |||

Do you keep it locked up in a vault? That paint job still looks amazing!

Beautiful TA. Brings back many good memories, my brother devoted 30 some years of his life with a 455. He sold it a few years ago. I wish I would have bought it, but I didn’t have the funds. ----------------- I apologize now... | |||

Thanks, it was painted sometime around 1990 or so, Was garage kept, then went into long term storage for 19 years. Until I got it out and had it freshened up a bit.
Factory color for 1980, called Burgundy Grape. The color and bird are the same as from the factory. ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | |||

Ha! I also love the smell of diesel exhaust. I remember as a kid my grandmother and I would go to downtown L.A. on the RTD bus, amd I would hang my head out the window just to breathe it in! Not so much anymore.....just ain't the same. So while you might be an outlier, there are others. Endowment Life Member, NRA • Member of FPC, GOA, 2AF & Arizona Citizens Defense League | |||

Nice car, I had a ‘75 back in the day, 400/400 silver over black. Sold it to buy my Roadrunner. Wasn’t Oldsmobile powering those later T/A’s? 6.9L is that an Olds 403 punched out or a stroker? Foster's, Australian for Bud | |||
