I saw this tonight at the Klein Show and Shine and wondered if it was an optional engine for this Metropolitan.
Nice ride I bet it goes pretty good.........motor looks familar but cant place it.......maybe a brand F ?? possibly a 429 or 460 ??......very nice color scheme too......Is the owner on a suicide mission ??...... nice to see something different Leon
It is definitely a big block F*%d engine. I couldn't tell exactly how big though. It's the ultimate sleeper! The car looks completely stock from the back, sides and front until you see the hole in the hood and that knarly looking engine poking out of it! Here's something a little less radical that I saw tonight.
Lucky you, getting to go to the 1st Shine of the year. How was the turnout? I HAD to stay in Colorado skiing. Be back in Klein tonight. I'll be at the show next Saturday. When will your 50 arrive?
Huge turnout! Weather cooperated. Overflow parking. Here's one more that was there last night. Mine will be ready for the show by April hopefully
A car show~ *sigh* A pink delivery? My daughter'd love that! So Ken, you never spilled the beans as to where your truck is. We can keep a secret!
Wow ! I do wish I'da kept a few of those really early Split Window Beetles I had way back in the day........
That '60 is sweet. It has a 348 with trips and a four speed. The interior was buckets & a console in the front (not available from Chevy in '60), but the fabric was correct for a '60.
