I have lots of pics but I have no pics and have never heard of any famous Speedshops from the 50's-60's, any of you have some pics to share or stories? In the mean time Ill share the pics I have of Texas strips and cars!

  9. Nope that was Carol Shelby that was in California.

    Actually I am absolutely wrong, Smokey's shop was in Florida. Sorry about that. All these years I thought that his shop was in Texas. I'll delete my post as being OT and bow out now.

    Bobby's daughter is my neighbor and his son is still running "Motor Rico". I asked him about this car and he said it first ran a flathead, then a SBC, and onto a 392 Hemi. You can guess what my next question was - he said it was long gone.
