    Hello,
    Tommy Ivo: A few of these photos of the 671 supercharged Buick FED are around. It was between the single injected Buick and the twin in late 59, early 1960. It seemed like a natural progression, but the twin was the next step on the run for the trophies and records. The quality of the single Buick FED build was show time in the pits and always drew a crowd. How could you miss that famous KEY push bar?

    For the years we were racing at Lions, the red Buick FED was always in the pits and racing for the trophies and records.(with and without the 671) He was/is definitely a crowd favorite, still is...

    I was able to be at Lions in between racing to record some of Tommy Ivo's races and activity in the pits. Here is a compilation of his 671 single Buick racing at Lions.

    I'm pretty sure the 350H's included automatic as standard equipment as the dumbo rental customers couldn't drive stick shifts. That is why the document says N/C for the automatic option. The upper portion says that about the manual because they use this document for other cars besides the 350H's. Not hard to figure out.

  12. Hey Gary, you have to hear the resounding "Oh No" after your last post.
    You are loved by millions of silent admirers, as are a rare few who keep this thread on topic and filled with memories!
    Happy New Year, and may 2018 be better than we all deserve.

    I don't say a lot on here, either, but you're one of the main reasons I come here, Gary...keep up the good work, because there's a lot of us 'silent types' that appreciate what you do. :)
