Raced till 1990,...11:60 @ 116

 

Dennis;you did not post any photos!! You Y-Blockhead!!! ROY.

 

Ummm... Can anyone see the photos I posted above, I can see them???

Here's another; '56 Ford Ranchwagon, running 427"

 

Thanks Jeff, thought I was having one of those "Old Timers Disease" moments...

 

sorry cant see em

 

i believe the 300 is 112 and the fairlane is 114 dont quote me on that though

 

Dennis;there is no link or anything else pointing to any photos! ROY.

 

I don't have a clue why you guy's can not see them. All I can suggest is to go to my Photo gallery and look at them?

 

Or better yet, go to their Web Site, Cooper Racing http://www.cooperracing.info/index.html

Please don't tell me that you can't see the URL, haha

 

This 55' has been for sale for some time now in Carson ND. Was an old drag car from Minnesota. Body is suppose to be in decent shape, has a straight axle on it, no motor.

 

Just curious - are you trying to see the pictures at work? If so, they may be blocked by your system administrator's firewall settings. Don't ask me how I know this . . . I see these pictures fine at home on my laptop.

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but could you PM me contact info about that car? And what they want for it, if you know? I need another project like I need a tax audit, but hey, its cool. - Terry

Sorry guys, I don't know what to say. If you are into Long Roofs like I am I know you would like it. It turns in the 10's.

Not a gasser yet, but thats the long term plan. For now, here are a few, one how I found her, the original motor, the body changes and lastly the new motor in her. Next is the straight axle.

 

This was for sale here on the HAMB around the first of the year price was lowered to $900 car was in Maryland,anybody scoop it up?

 

The black 57 in the picture with Riki I remember parked in front of a house on Glenoaks in Glendale in the 60s I think it is the same one i saw in a impound yard of Grand Central in Glendale. any of you ever street race on Grand Central in the early 70s?

 

Awsome thread!!

 

agreed

 

Hey Scott, how long before yours ends up back in my garage to get that straight axle? I suppose I should hurry up and get my other projects done so we can get to it. Can't wait til we take it to the track!
