    Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.

    Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.

    Nice looking big bro to the 250. I had a 250 and that went well with a holley. Expensive to rebuild circa £7k. Parts for the big one are rare and expensive.

    Small block 350 Chevy at last! Yep shoulda done it sooner.

    Gotta have fun in my old age even if I am a grumpy very Ol git.

    As the tittle of the car they came out of, Majestic , they look great. My friends father built a model T and installed one.
    But this was in the late seventies when easier to get hold of.
