George Albright Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Rear bumper corner needs that total restoration updated a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well they did say several years ago and it's starting to show in other areas. The paint is looking like ti might be going south, especially from that back corner shot. Engine also looks like it needs alot of help, cosmetically. On the Bumper tip, I'll bet it was an NOS piece that looked good when they put it on. I had a bunch of them NOS and the plating was always thinnest in that valley when I buffed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimm63 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Curious as to whether this would have a chance at running highway speeds these days. Anyone familiar with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Highway speed here is about 75 mph, and I don't think that would work. Secondary road 55 mph, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone familiar with them? If this Champion has the optional overdrive, it would be able to handle 60-65 mph. The standard differential ratio was 4.56:1.

The standard differential ratio was 4.56:1. I think with an overdrive it should comfortably do better than 60-65. My 1936 Chevrolet will do 60 all day and has no overdrive and 4-11 rear gears.
