I had a 68 Torino GT that was green with gold stripes and the 390 V8 and C6 auto transmission back in 1972 when I lived in Savannah, GA. Of all the cars I've owned over the years, that's the one I wish I still had. I lost that car in a wreck just off Abercorn when I was racing a Chevelle. A lady pulled out of Oglethorpe Mall and tore the right side off my car. The impact knocked me over in front of the Chevelle that I had pulled a couple of car lengths on. He kept on going which was fortunate for me because the cops believed me when I told them I was just headed home and minding my own business when she ran the stop sign. That was one awesomely fast car. Rolling starts was the only way to race it. Otherwise all you would do from a standing start would be to burn your back tires off. Only car I ever had that would go 120+ mph and never move ten feet. That's a beautiful car you have there.
Thanks! My first car was the sister to this one. Owned it 40+ years ago. Both cars left the factory in Seafoam Green. This is a former California car. It was imported into Ontario in 2005. I bought it in Aug/21 and had it shipped west to Surrey BC. The brakes, suspension, exhaust and various electrical components have been replaced or refurbished. The body has had some work with a repaint some time in its past. It looked like this when I bought it. Good solid car and although not fuel efficient at all, it is fun to drive.
In answer to MTLTV1765 question. When these engines are started up they are started in "feather" (propellor blades are in line with the airflow/fuselage-a position they are put into in with an engine failure for minimum drag on the aircraft). After start up the condition levers in the cockpit are moved forward and the the blades go into fine pitch (blades in line with the wings). As there is a lot less drag on the props this way they are able to spin much faster and are governed at this rpm. These are "free turbine" engines-the propellors are not directly hooked up to the rotating engine but turn separately from the engine.
I notice from watching videos of the Dash 8 starting up is that when they start the first engine, the propeller does not spin that fast. Once the second engine is started, it is then when both engines are brought to idle RPM. When you see the engines on the Beechcraft KingAir startup, the first engine goes all the way to idle RPM before the second engine starts up. Why is that?
The engines on the Dash 8-100 in the video are the P&W120 series. These are "free turbine" engines. What this means is the prop's gearbox is driven from its own shaft in the engine. Compressed air created internally drives the RGB (reduction gear box) which rotates the propeller. The KingAir also uses P&W engines but these are the "PT6" series. A different design from the P&W 100 series engines. I have no experience with the PT6 but many hours with the P&W100 series. the 120's on the Dash 8-100; the 123's on the Dash 8-300 and the 150's on the Dash 8-Q400. I found this video on YT which explains how the P&W100-series engines operate: ua-cam.com/video/HIPNDxI9s_k/v-deo.html
@@chingiz81 Only the Dash 8-400 officially had the "Q" designation. This was due to the Anti Noise & Vibration System (ANVS) installed during manufacture. The -100, -200 and -300 series Dash 8's never had the ANVS installed so no "Q" in their respective designations.
I miss these things so much😢😢
I should have some idea of what I'm flying. That's a Dash 8-100.
Not a dash8...atr I think
Where is the engine sound
There's other videos with engine sounds
Very nice! Engine compartment is especially nice.

What is the name of the airplane and what state are you going
DeHavilland Dash 8-100 CYGK-CYYZ
Dash 8 have been retired from service at Jazz
wow
Came for the start stayed for the butts
