Thanks for posting it , it was nice to read it again! George is a friend of mine and I had the privilege of crusing with George in Oct when we were both down for the California Hot Rod reunion in Bakersfield! After the weekend was down I elected to hope in his 427 Cheetah instead of the tow vehicle lol good choice ! He put 3:08 gears in for the drive from BC to Cali and man it was a blast ripping through the grape vines mountains to LA. She pulls and the torque was unreal. We were both grinning ear to ear as we flew along. It was an awesome way to finish off the wicked weekend at the reunion! We even stopped for In & Out Burger!

Hey Kevin is George's Cheetah a 68?

I haven't forgotten  I wish you'd post sum pictures of it for all of us to see one day?

Very COOL Is it #s Matching?
You lucky guy..

Lol that was your reply couple years back lol ! When I talked with you on the phone a ways back I said I could load them for you or show you how to do it lol. Just dying to see a 68 Cheetah never seen one before !!! If you need help message me I would be glad to help.

Here is a picture I took from George's album of a 69 Cheetah while we were down in California ,  George told me there was only a small amount of 69 Cheetahs and all were post cars and ran I think he said small blocks but will have to ask him to confirm. The Cheetah badging was placed on the upper quarter panel area . This is a awesome pic from when it was racing at Mission Raceway and is the only 69 Cheetah pic I have ever seen.

Hey Kyle click the link on the top of thread and a little bit down in the article it mentions all the Cheetahs built by qty per year and confirms that in 69 they ran small blocks with only 3 made! Wonder where they ever ended up?? They are such an awesome car and great history!
