Aca un video en español en homenaje mi tio Jorge Jorge Pironio, quien me enseño todo lo que se de mecanica.

Puesta en marcha en frio de un Camaro SS 1968 y una pasada rapida por un Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor. Nada que ver uno con el otro, pero vale la pena mostrar el contraste.

Puesta en marcha minuto 7:17.

La calidad de sonido no es la mejor (con auriculares se aprecia mejor), pero espero que se aprecie un poco la historia de este auto.

Some time ago I was given the opportunity to be the curator/keeper/custodian of this historic car.

I like to think that, even if you own a car like this, your goal is to take care of it, and pass it along to the next generations when the time comes.

Corria el año 1946 cuando mis abuelos Armando Vivani (paterno) y Eduardo Divito (materno), se juntaban despues de trabajar en la Gomeria “Merlo” en la ciudad de 9 de Julio – Buenos Aires.

Alli se dedicaban a preparar La Catanga, un auto de carreras que corria Armando Vivani los fines de semana en circuitos locales de tierra.

La Catanga tenia motor de Ford “T” y se pasaban gran parte de la tarde y noche rebajando la tapa de cilindros y multiples de escape y de admision “a lima”.

Ese viejo modelo “T” llegaba a levantar 100/120 Km/h en las rectas !
