Hey Gang,

On a crisp, cold day it's always fun to go for a ride. I took the time to record that "lumpity-lump" sound we all love...courtesy of a W-30 4speed camshaft.

Enjoy!

My favorite car. Nice.

 

Dude- the video with you and your dog is absolutely outstanding- I love it!

 

that must be a 4-speed - sounds great

That color combo must look even better in person, man when it popped up it reminded me of color combos I'd paint model cars as a kid (of course not nearly as well done). Does it look that good live?

 

Steven,

Yes, thanks- it does look good in person. Well, in my opinion it does, but keep in mind I have owned it since 1975. The combination is very 70's for sure!

PS- yep, 4 speed.

 

Beautiful car and it sounds great.

 

That's one beautiful machine. Thanks for sharing!

 

Beautiful. Listening to that music is a great way to start my day. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the nice comments, guys!

Jim

 

Motivation To Keep Going For Sure!!!!

 

You wont hear that sound coming from todays cars. Love it.

 

Sweet sound,also sweet ride

 

Here's a clip of my 69 442 starting up after 2 years of hibernation... I was cool that day, car has no choke.

Thank you very much!

Jim

 

x2 one of the best sounding stock motors ever produced

 

Cool, I have the same 70 combo never been touched and it sounds identical! Very cool color combo.

 

Wow- I've never seen another with the same color combo. I'd love to see a picture, or a video!

 

Jim,

Thanks for posting the video. Beautiful car, but it's the sound I love most.

Does your engine still have the original cam and original compression ratio? Or has it been rebuilt? Also, does it have headers or manifolds?

Sorry for the questions; I just like to archive things (like sounds) that are known to be original.

 

Hi Brian,

Yes, the car is all original - cam, exhaust manifolds, compression ratio, etc. The engine has never been opened or rebuilt.

Sometime back in the late 70's I replaced the mufflers. They are not OEM, but were a close replacement. Otherwise, the sound is exactly as it should be.

Cheers!

Jim
