Was Justin Bieber Drag Racing His Ferrari the Night He Got Hit?

Thursday, September 1, 2011 0 comments
Okay, so we’ve all heard the story by now of Justin Bieber getting into a little fender bender in Los Angeles earlier this week.

It seems the Baby crooner was leaving a parking garage when somebody in a Honda scraped his big expensive Ferrari.

Fortunately it was NOT his Ferrari and word is it was a rental.

There was virtually no damage and a police report was never taken, however….

Mysteriously that same evening pop singer Everest from the group House of Pain tweeted to his followers the following:

"I just raced @justinbieber down Ventura in his Ferrari I won but a Fed-Ex truck got in his way. Seemed like a down to earth kid."

We know Bieber has a fancy for expensive cars. Just a couple of weeks ago the singer was spotted pulling pranks in Miami in a $350,000 Rolls Royce with friend Sean Kingston.

But we have to ask… It seems like it may just be a matter of time before he gets into a litter bigger problem that may not bode well for his career.

Advice:

Slow it down Biebs, and don’t forget that you tell everybody that you try to “stay humble” and “remember where you came from”.

I don’t know of too many 17-year-olds racing Ferrari’s or coning in a Rolls Toyce in Stratford.

We’re just saying…

1 of 55 RO/WO factory drag race Coronet and Belvederes

Makes me say Damnit.

According to Galen Govier only 1 1966 S/S Coronet was built (WO21H6*******)and 50 S/S Belvedere's (RO21H6*******). In 1967 Chrysler switched to the hardtops, why who knows as they still built the Sedan cars for this year as well. Again, according to Galen Govier, 55 S/S Coronet 440's (WO23J7*******) with the Hemi were built and 55 S/S Belvedere's (RO23J7*******).


Functional hood scoop made from steel with and aluminum plate under it that seals it to the carbs. Prestolite electronic ignition mounted under the dash. 4.88 gears. 4 speed cars had slick shift trannys and a steel bellhousing. There is a post on the drivers side fender well that connects the lead from the trunk mounted battery to original battery cable. The cars were painted before the under hood battery tray was removed, so some paint is missing there. Cars were delivered with a set of headers and the aluminum carb to scoop tray in the trunk. It is reported that some cars had a heater, but this is not confirmed. Scheduled build date for all 110 cars is 2-12-67, that # is on all the data plates, even tho tha cars were not all actually assembled on that date

Super Stocks, as rare as they are, get a little publicity, but I can't recall a RO/WO getting any publicity via a magazine feature in years

Of course I love this R/T photo, I've got an R/T... and my last musclecar was a Superbee that looked exactly like the above R/T, with a bee on the grill instead of the rt.
