Detroit Gearhead Gals' 1962 300 Sport

[Beautiful Brute 1962]

The cast-iron manifolds us for the crossram set up.... That is actually in my garage dad passed away before they got to put it on the car so now it has the dual quads read the cast-iron headers... When the drag hemi first came out...my dad wanted to put one in there race car so we had befriended the golden commandos and they called up my dad one night and said Jack we got something you might want to take a look at and their lo and behold was the 426 drag Hemi,and also a aluminum Hemi hood scoop which is still on the car today it's actually at 4:40 that's bored .030 over

Sorry for the typo errors
When they were running the Hemi..it was 11 second quarter mile car

Don't let anyone give you any crap about it... you and that car belong in here. There are several other members with the same era cars, and all are loved as much as the rest (Just like Mom, who loved us all the same). Of course we all have our favorites...

You already have personal connections with some outstanding members of this forum, the rest of us are very pleased you decide to drop by and would be thrilled to have you stay on. A car like yours with it's history intact is something very rare and treat for those of us who love them.

Besides, the hobby needs a few more ladies involved...

What a great story and history, Denielle! I can't imagine how proud you must be of your "Beautiful Brute". I kinda know that feeling, this is the 7th one I've owned since I was 16yrsView attachment 119017 old. It hasn't been on the road for 25yrs. It's slowly being brought back to life and I'm chewing at the bit.

My first car was a 1962 New Yorker (parts car for the 300?)
High schoolers just did not appreciate "the black beauty"
My dad had me set the points, change valve cover gaskets...fuel pump,water pump ... Ect......
I loved that car( since we were not allowed to drive the BB (Beautiful Brute) I did not get to drive it until I was 50. (Well as far as mom knew)
