RE: New guy late intro



Glad to have you on board. I have been retired for a couple years now 
and live in Omaha, NE. I bought a '64 Dodge 330 2dr post, 383, 4bl, 4 
speed, 3:23SG brand new in '64. I ordered it back then just how I wanted 
it. I lived in CA then and was going to college in Long Beach. I raced 
it at Lion's dragstrip till I got drafted. It was my favorite car! I ran 
across my current '64 Dodge Polara 4dr sedan, 318poly about 8 years ago 
and have been having fun hopping up the ole poly engine and swapping in 
all sorts of goodies. I keep it appearing stock, till you open the hood. 
This site has supplied many of my parts and tons of info. There are 5 
list members close to me that assist me regularly too. It's a great 
group. You can see my car at:

Our moderator Gary H does a wonderful job with this site! Jump in and 
enjoy the ride.
