Hot Rods If you could get in a time machine what would you bring back car part wise !

This is a tough question if you could only haul back what you could bring back in the back of a pick up . Like a few flatheads some hemis or new desoto grilles

 

32,33,34 window garnish. A whole damn truck load.

 

A bed full of Turbonique Drag Axles

 

I wouldn't get greedy, I would just love to have back the Rochester fuel injection off a 57 Chevy that I, foolishly, sold for $100 in 1965

 

If I could take my knowledge with me I would just stay there.

 

a couple of arduns.

 

The rear view mirror off of the Marmon Wasp.
And sell it on evil bay

 

The back seat of my '58 Impala.

 

My misspent youth! HRP

 

A frikin' tailgate for a 61 Ranch Wagon that isn't as far gone as the one I have now.

 

Condoms.

 

Well, If I could get it loaded (on a pick up) I would bring back "at least the body",minus frame etc of my first 55 (hood fenders etc inside or on top) from 1983 when I was 13.

I would finish it this time only it wouldnt be yellow with cragars etc etc. like I had planned back then, It would be "closer" to what it already was then, only"Nice"Solid white paint with grey torque thrust or maybe even a full set of the old (cheesy on a 55) steel z28 torq thrust lookin wheels I put on the front back then (just because)........or not.

....................Wait a minute............now, What was the question again?

 

Chrome air cleaner from 1962 Chevy Impala SS with 409 engine.

 

Eight foot bed, with the tailgate down, and is there a height limit on the side boards? Bob

 

Does a date with Linda Vaughn count ?

 

All of the pot metal early (1920s and 1930s) carburetors I could carry.

 

Somehow I'd load up that 62 Impala 2dr ht I had in college! White with red interior and 3 on the tree. Traded it for a $#%i*! VW beetle. Well, it was the late 60's. For some people those POS things were the rage!
What was I thinking??

 

If it is ok to take them apart and pack things carefully I'll be back with a Type 37 Bugatti and a mid 1920's MILLER Indy car. Bob

 

I can see this turning into a competition, heres an example of us on the way back

 

A tall T coupe body, A couple 27 T roadster bodies, and all of the early track T sheet metal I could pile on using low budget's method of loading. Oh, and a Fargo 4 port banger engine so I could relive my HS years.

 

NOS grille stainless moldings for '38 Ford truck. The ones on Henrietta are a long way from perfect.

 

The OHC 427 for $1000 that was sitting in the parts room at williams Ford, around 68/69

 

If it is ok to place some 2x12 ramps on the bed sides I'll go back to Carmel Ford and get that new 427 COBRA they were trying to sell for $6,000. new back in the good old days.

 

I would go back and try my hardest to be the son in law of the fella that owns the model 40 collection that showed up on here lately... ( my idea of hotrod heaven )

Stupid question.. All this stuff is here now.. Quit wishing and go find it....

 

Bugattis

 

truckload full of 421 SD engines

 

Yep, at today's prices...

 

If I can add side stake racks also to the 8 ft box...... I'd go back to a well stocked salvage yard and get about a dozen gm 3 speed overdrive's " R10 style. Box full of 12V Relays to go with them. Couple sets of Hudson twin "H" one barrel carbs. 54 corvette intake w/side draft carbs. Extra set of 53 150 rubber door rock guards. A low mile pull out Corvette "L88" 427 /M22 combo or it they were running low on them a Chevelle "LS6" w M22 would do. 1957 Ford car 9 inch rear. Hack saw off set of Chambered exhaust pipes from 69 Camaro. Lastly if I can use a military grade tie down a couple of tri five 2dr bench seats. That'd B ok.

 

I believes a batch of Micky Thompson 427 Ford hemi engines would do the trick...
