I thought some might enjoy checking this thing out. It turns my crank. I think we all fantasize about owning an old race car.

Side note about the roadster above, I just recieved this information and thought it was interesting.That roadster raced at Beechmont Dragway in Cincinnati, Ohio in the late 50's - early 60's. A feature is on page 78 in the June 1960 Hot Rod magazine, showing Gil and crew. Ran a '55 Chevy. bored to 283 with Offenhauser tripower intake, 97's, Chev factory fuel injection pistons. Rest of motor was stock. Turned 12.28 @ 116 at time of feature in Hot Rod. Ran Moon discs on steel wheels.

Pretty damn quick.. it's amazing what you can do with those 283's, I swear. Those old racers are cool... they are kinda ugly, but the history there is awesome, and to see it still around is even better.

[superbell]

Ugly? That's a little harsh I would think, in my eyes its pure early vintage racer and a thing of beauty. But different strokes for different folks.
