Had to take a pic of this thing. Some will not like it, but I do. It's the drag racer in me. Pat Austins AA/Coupe. I have the same wheels waiting for a project like this...It sits in a muffler shop in Everett....enjoy

It just isn't a drag race in the northwest unless it has some Austins in it. They're like rabbits, pop up everywhere!
That car of Pat's is the coolest one of the lot tho... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, a SOHC motor would be cool too, but it still reaks of pure hot-rod perfomance. Glad Ya'll are diggin on it. Now I just want to see it RUN!

I saw the old Mooneyham and Sharp coupe run in the '60's and this car brings those memories flooding back. A very cool car.

That car is so bad-ass that if Chuck Norris was a hot-rodder, that is the car he would drive.

Gerry Steiner restored the 554 back in the 80's. I think it's in Gar's Museum?

There's a 334 (clone) and this one that I know of.

Red Meat is correct, on Rucker. I almost get in a fender bender ever time I pass it. I can't take my eyes off of it every time I drive by. Just took the pics on tues. and as I was walking in to ask if I could take the pics, a channeled, shortend, lowered, caged 48-50 F-1 was at the stop light. Just as I was racing to get the camera out, his light tunded green and he was out of there before I could get a pic of it.
