After 35 years, HiPo is running again

frank.herbst_old · May 17, 2011 at 7:17 AM

My son and I got our 66 HiPo engine running yesterday. This is a video of the first turn of the ignition key. It had been in storage for ~35 years.

Thank you all for helping with my questions.

The informaiton on the automatic starter working for original HiPo engines was correct.

Frank it sounds mighty nice. I can't wait to get by to see your car.

All,

Thanks for the input…

The car is scheduled for the paint shop after we get back from VIR. Paint will probably take a month or two. Olaf is doing the paint at Southern Auto Body in Fredericksburg VA. He does a very nice job…

Richard – looking forward to seeing you. Maybe you can come by after we bring the car back from the paint shop.
