American Graffiti

How about driving this one to school Bill!

I'd drive it to work if I had a job. What is even cooler about the video is that after the run is over the music switches to So What from the classic Miles Davis Sextet recording Kind of Blue recorded just over 55 years ago. I NEVER leave home without it. The ability to listen to the recorded music of Miles Dewey Davis III due to the Porsche's AM/FM radio was just one of MANY things that made me lust for that car in high school. One of many liner notes from many re-issues of that album says something like: "This album if it does not prove the existence of God conclusively proves the ability of Miles to select a band." Miles, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers, Bill Evans, Jimmy Cobb - all legends in their own right on one recording.

But, I digress. The video and the car are way cool. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I can drive it to a Holiday.

I LOVE those hotrods. I like the 56 or 57 Corvette in the background behind the B/A too.

VW front trailing arm suspension!

Good catch! Looks like a bus beam.

Very interesting! I see a lot of holes drilled into not only the frame rails but also into the bump-stop and shock mounts around the suspension. Even the hubs are drilled! I wouldn't be suprised if this owner had some glocker, Syder, or Carrera exposure at some point.
