That’s my baby.  55 Chevy, 350 engine/350 trans, Edelbrock top end, mint green with white interior, wood bed floor, fiberglass flip clip, fiberglass Cameo bed, Kelly radials on AR Torq-thrust O wheels.  And what may be the only guitar grille in the world – at least I have never seen another one!

We love to play for car shows and races where we can dig out our old Beach Boys and Jan & Dean songs.  Do you know what a four-speed dual quad positraction 409 is?

 

Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down!

It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool shorts standin’ side by side
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
Revvin’ up our engines and it sounds real mean

Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down!

De-clinin’ numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My Stingray is light the slicks are startin’ to spin
But the four-thirteen’s really diggin’ in

Gotta be cool now, power shift, here we go!

Superstock Dart is windin’ out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray’s really startin’ to go
To get the traction I’m ridin’ the clutch
My pressure plate’s burnin’ that [D] machine’s too much

Pedal’s to the floor hear the dual quads drink
And now the four-thirteen’s lead is startin’ to shrink
He’s hot with ram induction but it’s understood
I got a fuel injected engine sittin’ under my hood

Shut it off, shut it off, buddy now I shut you down!

SHUT DOWN – The Beach Boys
