I took my girlfriend to old town satuday for the car show/cruise. Lots of good looking fords out there this time. Wish I had some pictures but camera still messed up. Anyways... Something of note was there was a guy out there with an old school altered wheel base falcon. Paint on the side said 532 ci. I was there when he first cranked it up to start the cruise. People scattered like a bomb just went off. It was priceless. The cam this guy had on it was monstrous. The lope sounded like it would drop down to about 10 rpm's and then when it would lope back up it sounded like it was buzzing about 1500-2000 rpms. One of the most interesting things Ive ever seen. Never saw an altered wheelbase car like that before. Oh and it was straight headers coming out from behind the front tires. LOUD! When he put it in gear he was standing on the brakes and every time the cam would lope the car would lurch forward. Really neat.

Just thought I would share the store. Ill try to get pictures of the cars next time we decide to go.

 

My car does this when i first start it up....but thats just because I need a tune

 

lol nice.

Eh, this car Im pretty sure it was tuned to haul ass.

 

What is Old Town?

 

If you have never heard of Old town, then you have to go check it out on saturdays. Awesome place, street magicians, artists, its really cool, and the Saturday night car show to boot. Really cool atmospere, great family place.

Old Town: Shopping, Dining, Entertainment Attraction, Amusement Park and Car Cruises in Kissimmee, Florida

 

ya old town is the shit, great place to hang out

 

Thanks, so weird that I've never even heard of it before.

Looks like a cool deal.

 

Yeah its fun. They have rides and attractions and stuff too. Its not like an amusement park but its got all kinds of different things. Something you just have to go to and see. Dont go on Fridays, its the late model stuff which means riced out imports and shit. Saturdays are pre-1974 model year cars if I remember the stipulations correctly. Im just too lazy to go look it up so thats what youll have to go on. The show is mainly chevy's or old school hot rods but they do have some good lookin fords too.

 

sounds like one of the straight axles fx cars back in the day

 

Yeah thats exactly what it was. Altered wheel base with straight axle on the front. Very similar to this. I know its a chevy but the concept is the same.
