Someones trash is Someones treasures

A few years back my dads buddy was cleaning house and was gonna throw a bunch of pictures away my dad being a longtime pic collector jumped on the chance and scored He contributed to the Don Montgomery books with his lakes pics but these got set aside until i found them this weekend Ive only had time to scan a few so far so ill tease you but he has quite a few early times club pics and torquers club pics from mid 60s into 70s but the first one is obviously pretty rare most of you will know the car right away enjoy these ill post the rest as time allows These were all 8 by 10s to sweeten the deal

 

Please post the rest!
Thanks,

Mick

 

Good stuff. More please.

 

Too cool!

 

great pictures. thanks for posting. love that coupe.

 

very cool.

 

Cool stuff!
Whats the story on the C-Cab panel?
Looks like it has "Gymkhana" written all over it!

 

love the coupe

 

the 70's are becoming cooler by the day. there was a lot of cool HOT RODs built in the 70's. people seem to forget the cool ones.

 

I threw those out because I'm trying to get the image of Tru-spokes and "resto-rods" cleansed from my memory banks. Like Disco, that is a style that I hope never comes back !!!!!!

 

Cool

 

I personally love the look of that Delivery. Wires and all...

 

Whats the story on that c-cab? Is it rear engined or something?

 

Jake's coupe?








Some great stuff there, thanks for sharing. And when you get around to scanning them, please scan them all.

 

They all look like early times members cars.

I can't remember whos the C was, but it got a few photos in the TRJ that featured the Early Times club.

 

Pic # 2 is It "T" Bits owned and built by radiator builder Jim Babb. I think reference August of 1970 R&C for a build feature.
The 34 coupe was one of four 34 3windows purchased by Jim Jacobs.
Hope you post more "lost pics"
Thanks!

 

If you check I think you'll find that the coupe pictured is not the one Jake chopped to build his famous car, but it was the car the contributed the grille shell to his build.

Great shots!

 

The '34 coupe was an early hot rod (which was purple and had a complete interior) and donated the '37 truck grill to Jake's 34 coupe that he chopped in Rod & Custom in 1973. Check out the newest issue of The Rodder's Journal. I had seen the purple coupe in New England on a photo shoot several years ago. I am pretty sure the current owner told me this year at Hershey he was working on the coupe. It would be really cool to see it back out again.

The C panel was subaru powered.
