As it turns out I've been surfing the Forum a bit and I think the car used to belong to a guy on this Forum called MiDi? weird how it all works out.

| Post subject: | 13 second quarter mile? |
Hello! I am really excited to join this forum. I am buying a 1964 Dart GT this weekend. It's going to be my first Slant 6 car. The guy Im buying it from said he had the motor built and bored out and everything and said it ran a 13.50 at the quarter mile. or something (I can't remember exactly) without boost. He's running a 4 barrel Holley on a pretty long running manifold. Is that likely? or even possible? I haven't seen the car in person yet. I have no experience with slant 6 cars and I've never really dragged anything at the strip. |

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like a cool car. A typical 1/4 mile time for a naturally aspirated Slant 6, without extreme measures, would be 15s or 16s in the 1/4. 13s can be done, but only with expensive/extreme engine building and a very lumpy (rough idle) camshaft, etc... 14s is more common, of course, but also fairly rare. If he has timeslips or pictures, that is the only way to get a real idea if he is correct. Best wishes, Lou |

I'm not sure he ever raced the car. Ceej would know, but I don't remember that car having mid 13 second steam in it.

I don't recall ever hearing about Midi racing it, but he did put some serious work into it. It was an aggressive looking and sounding car when I last saw it, about ten years ago. Post some pictures! |

I dont think Midi is the guy who has the ad up. Probably sold it a long time ago. Either way I am really stoked to get the car and Ill post plenty of pictures. Can't wait to start wrenching!

Midi raced the green car at Medford and Portland (PIR) So yes, he has been on a track or two. Don't know if he raced any of the early cars he had. CJ |
