Hot Rods Hot Rod Sports Cars

Nice, I will be the one to ask, what is it?

 

Echidna. Three friends built Chevy-based race cars with Devin bodies in the 50s and named them after an obscure anteater.

 

3 different cars or does he just keep changing tires.

This is a very recent photo but Ralph Salyer was certainly in
the thick of things in the mid '60s. His race team's home base
was Hammond, Indiana.

 

What I love about these HR sports cars is that they handle like go-karts, and it's pure fun.

And you sit so close to the ground it feels like it's going faster than it is like a go kart.

 

With the weird double throttle body injection.

 

427, four speed. Sounded as nasty as it looked.

 

Mine got a little interior. I am loving this little car.

 

Interesting rollbar

 

Looks like this one was meant to handle straight….

 

1954 MG-TF I believe. Aurora, Illinois, a long time ago. In this
pic the car was taken to a grade school for one wicked show & tell.

 

You are correct Quick it is definitely after 52.
