My biggest regret was trading off a WW1 USA pilots tunic that had a RARE pilots wings call a DALLAS WINGS. The Dallas wings were 5 pieces, the back, black velvet, two silver wings, and a silver shield with gold US.

 

The guy I traded it to, I found out later, was the biggest crook in the military antiques business. My fault though, I didn't know what I had.

There are seven of use as I have said a few times.. My older sister was named Kayleb Sharon, .. she was still born. I was next, but 4 years later so I got to, lets say enjoy her name.. lol... I was very little for my age, but I guess my brain was big.. cuz i do remember the color very well..

Nope 3 2 barrel carbs.... 500 CFM Hollys set up with a progressive linkage. I got 4 mile per gallon with it on the highway..... 4 miles per gallon on the street......... This thing was a flat out beast and was really a full on race car that I drove on the street...

 

 

But it would flat out set you back in your seat. Best time slip was 11.39 @ 137 MPH. This was after having to stop for gas ( 102 octane)twice to travel 95 miles to the track with a 16 gallon tank. It would be down to 1/4 tank and refill with 114 octane racing fuel.
