Why not a.411? Post trac I'm sure. 12 bolt?
4.11 is too much gear, its a pretty worked 302. But with the 5 speed swap and 150 shot of nitrous I would probably top out before then end of the track.

Can you imagine trying to daily drive with 4:11s,sheesh!

I used to drive a 70 Monte SS with a Big n little tire combo, roll cage, 4:88 gears with a built 12 bolt with a spool. TH-350 with a manual valve body. Also had a 73 Nova with a heavily worked 355 with a full cage and 3.73s. It cruised at 3500 rpm at 45 MPH...... So yea, I have an idea lol

As a 23 year old raised in the Washington DC area, and go to school in Baltimore, its natural that I collect Jordans, Lebrons, Foamposite shoes. Comics are my first love when it comes to collecting, but a lot of my money now goes into my extensive shoe collection.

 

When it comes to comics, Nightwing and Batman is what i like to collect, nike Foamposites are my favorite for shoes.

Pic taken 8 months ago. I have added 5 more pairs to the foamposite collection since. Will take an updated pic soon. This isnt including my jordans and other nikes.

I keep everything I care for with the same care I have for comics.

Generally speaking, however, mostly books and for their content, not as inanimate objects. If I prefer to locate original editions, that‘s because I wish to have the book in the form it came out, to experience it in its original context.

 

For example, my venture in wartime and golden age comics (not only american comic books), went and is going in parallel with a research on the war, but centered around persons, not "world-scale" events as you impersonally experience them in schoolbooks and essays.

Aside from tne gazillion items I regularly collect, I am right now focusing on the following three items:

 

antique poison bottles

 

Antique marbles (yes, marbles)

 

Sure to surprise some, MTG cards (rares)...thanks to my nephew.

 

'mint'

 

I have had a few antique marbles over the years. The Victorian ones are very cool and are probably my favourites. I have seen some amazing variation in both colour and size. The Edwardian marbles are also pretty cool, and the more common ones can be had for a decent price. Very cool thing to collect IMHO.
