Grimy Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Gee, Nick, I see the number "97" on each one on the left side, so I'd be inclined to say "Stromberg 97." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted one since I was 16 teen.. My dream was always to start one up at 6:30am on a Sunday morning- with just headers on the car.. I may do this when I turn 60..

Larry Schramm Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) We lived on the other side of the street from a lake right after we got married and almost every Sunday morning at 7:00 during the summer someone would start up I would guess a drag boat and run it from one end of the lake to the other and turn it around and run it back and put it away for the day. You could hear it rumble before he went wide open throttle and scream to the other end of the lake and back.

hddennis Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Having owned a pair of 66 Hemi Coronets back in the day, when I get nostalgic I listen to this: I love when it switches from gas to nitro and that exploding throttle!!
