From the Hemmings blog<\/a>, an ad for Dr. Old’s creation – the 442. I went as fast as I’ve ever gone (in a car) in a friend’s 1966 442 – probably not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but what are you gonna do? Lest we all wax too nostalgic, I read a comparo in Car and Driver matching classic muscle cars against the VW GTI\/Civic Si’s of the world and the newer little thangs ate the old iron up. There’s a lot to like about the old stuff, but when gas hits $4\/gallon here in the states this summer, well…<\/p>\n

From Make:, another vintage noisemaker – homemade Leslies! A Hammond B3<\/a> and Leslies<\/a> – a pair that’s worth their own ‘Got a Match?’<\/a> post… Again, as a result of misspent youth – I’ll always associate Leslie speakers with the J. Geils Band (local boys make good – Mr. Faye Dunaway<\/a>, though from the Bronx, will always mean early 70’s Boston to me).<\/p>\n
