Readers' Rides

American muscle is the theme of the latest collection of rides TechConnect readers have submitted for the Readers' Rides gallery on TechConnect Magazine Online.

1957 Chevy, Rick Waldron, RAP Automotive, Goshen, Ind.

Waldron is a drag racing veteran of over 20 years. He pro-streeted the '57 Chevy around 15 years ago. Currently, it has a 542 CID blown big block Chevy engine, TH-400 transmission, 9-inch rear end, and a 4-inch chopped top. (Fig. 19)

1969 Chevy Camaro SS/RS, Joe Gatti, Central Jersey Starter & Alternator, Sayreville, N.J.

Gatti's '69 Camaro SS/RS has 39,000 original miles. It has a 350 engine with 300 HP and a 4-speed manual transmission. (Fig. 20)

1967 Ford Mustang, Jack Geraghty, PRO-CAT Auto Service, Toms River, N.J.

The '67 Mustang is a father and son restoration project. The elder Geraghty is a former stock car racer. He has since sold the stock cars, but not the engines. As a result, the Mustang has World Product heads, Crane rockers, Reed cam, Edlebrock manifold, and a Holley 4bbl carb. Geraghty says, "It's no 10 second car, but it's fun to drive."
