Wow, holy ****.
That guy's a bazillionaire, owning all those cars.

 

[71dodgechargerrt]

Wow.

Holy ****! Nice selection

Sure he's a Bazillionaire but he probably got them years ago when you only had to be a kazillionaire. That's a lot of Hemi's in one garage.

That guy must have a real good paper route! I would be more impressed if they were B-bodies. I have never really warmed up to E-bodies. When they were introduced as 1970 models, I thought, "Great! Chrysler is building Camaro's!" . Just my opinion; if everyone liked the same thing, we'd all be doing my wife!

Tom’s got at least one B body. A black hemi Daytona.

Of course no disrespect intended, I LMAO because I've never heard that analogy and talk about "making a point" in a unique, clever way!

I spied a Porsche Flachbau in the video. No doubt he is a man of impeccable wealth and taste.

He was/is a commodity trader in Chicago. I believe he lives in the north shore suburbs, but the 'cuda lounge is in the River North near northwest side area in the city. It's a vintage service garage he converted to house his car collection. The area up front is a lounge area with TV and kitchen and seating, the garage area is the rear. It's an ultimate mancave!
And he's not a Johnny come lately type, he got his first cuda convertible in the 80s, and the gray French export hemi cuda vert he bought close to 30 years ago.
He hosts a party every year during MCACN weekend. I haven't been to it for many years, but when I did go he had a few GMs too like a SD 455 Trans Am, and he's had a W30 442 or 2 over the years.

Now that I'm long past my teen years (in the mid to late 70s) outlook of "MOPAR RULES! everything else SUCKS" those are a couple of my absolute favorite GM cars. The SD 455 was basically only lacking a better CR, IIRC it was in that typical 8:1 range of the era. I'm guessing doing whatever is possible to raise that into the 9 or 10:1 range would make a significant improvement? Maybe a cam change too? Beyond that, it seems like the rest of a SD 455 could handle the increased power. Could be as "simple" as a bolt on centrifugal blower.
There were a couple of W-30 442s that ran at the local 1320 back in the late 70s. Torque monsters and they had that oddball rear axle center section, IIRC for "quick change" of the ring & pinion gears?

Sure... but is he happy?
