A glas. Don't know much about that, other than its BMW underneath. I think.

That was my 2nd car. 1938 340s pak. Unknowingly I got a special model. Mopar used to make special race models. Mine was a bench seat, which killed the salability of the car. BUT what people didn't know is that I had a lower rear end (3.55) special high stall torque convertor and the cam out of the manual transmissioned model.
I won every race "up the hill" as the guys at the Enco service station at the bottom of the service road used to call our special spot.
A poor friend of mine tried everyway to beat me. A 390 Ford Fairlane, tricked 302 Mustang and finally a Boss 302. Nothing worked. He got so flustered on one pass that he forgot to shift back in to first and left it in reverse. He went backwards for quite a ways before he caught himself.
He got a brand new Boss 302 and could stay up with me. He kept having hopes of taking me out until I calmly opened my trunk and removed over 200# of ballast I'd been carrying for weeks. You should have seen the look on his face. He was crushed and I think that more than anything else cause me to beat him so badly that he quit trying.
I thought I was hot stuff until one day I met a 350 SS Camaro, only it wasn't a 350, he'd changed the badges. It was a 396. Chevy used to make special models too.
My boss has a 1969 GTX with a 440 that he's owned for like 35 years. It's fun to take out for a Sunday drive.
