Everyone knows trailer queens do not get driven because you hurt the value of the car to much. They are great to look at. Its stupid to beat the crap out of a #'s matching trailer queen. If you want to beat the crap out of something do it in a nice driver with a SR motor.

"stupid" use a SR block, if you know how to drive you dont need to worry about blowing it up. i guess if you built the car just to show it and built it way better than it was built new, then you would have the thought of not driving it. i used to do the same, but when i changed my mind about trailer queens was one day i walked into my garage and smelled gas. i started looking under each car and found the source at the other end, the 69 t/a convert. leaking at the tank on the fuel line. as i was laying under it, i realized that it was getting dusty just sitting and not even driving it. i got my electromagnetic blah blah blah duster and started trying to carefully dust on top of the rear end and realized the only way to remove it completely was to wash it. if i did that, i would ruin all the gm tags on all the nos items that were put on it when it was over restored. that is when i decided to "screw" trying to maintain a perfect car and took it out and drove it like it was meant to be driven and i did until the day it was loaded on the transport truck when i sold it.
as for brewsters t/a, let me make it clear. that is the best looking sd t/a you could look at. it is my favorite color combo and the no console is icing on the cake. never for one moment was i cutting down that car. i just would love to have seen him open it up and bang some gears.
as for some pics of me smoking the tires on the t/a convert at the drag strip, see if any of the kansas members might have taken some, i unfortunately couldnt take pics and drive at the same time. i do have a video of us going over 100 mph down the road with the top down. it is on the old 8mm tape and i dont have a camera capable of playing it. i will see about taking it and having it put on a disc or something. can walmart do it or do i need to take it to a professional place???
