Ever have a car take your breath away?

I second this statement, more info please. This van is bad ass.

 

The Van Is At The 2011 Grand National Show Right Now. Here Is Another Pic. One Of The Other Threads Has More Info On It.

 

I saw Justin Hill's '49 Buick Custom on the back of a tow truck about 20 months ago on the way to a show. I was totally, utterly, completely transfixed and obsessed. I had no idea that a car as awesome as this existed! After seeing this car at the show, I spent every minute dreaming of building something 1% as good as this car until I ended up buying a '49 Cadillac Club Coupe from the US which is on the slow journey to Australia. It arrives here is 4 weeks,..I cant wait to start working on it and getting it back on the road http://www.hillsandcocustoms.com.au/page10.htm

 

It's good to know that I'm not the only one this has happened to.

 

I'd say the "Uncertain T" took me years ago when I first saw it!!!

 

I second that!!!

 

Dick Brady's 36 3-window on the cover of R&C September '59. The ultimate for mine.

 

I walked 'round the corner in the city to be confronted by a parked Audi A5 'supercar'. The mid- engined one, a new one. That was pretty impressive.

Oh, and as a kid, this view of Brian Gursansky's hot 327 '36 ;

 

GASSERS

 

1984, a white 61 Starliner went roaring past me. Caught up w/ it a little later...Guy that owned it was an ex- drag boat racer...Cammer underhood, steel wheels and dog dishes...Subtle and bad ass.

 

The Jackie Howerton Indy Special roadster that was featured in The Rodder's Journal just blew me away. See some pics at http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/shorttimer/vehicles/8064

 

This one did it for me at Performance World in Toronto.

 

Rolf's coupe.
I saw it across and intersection one summer and almost caused an accident trying to turn left and look right at the same time.
A year later I met Rolf in person and when I walked into his garage and beheld the coupe my heart stuttered and I suddenly felt like I had to poop. Oxygen and just breathing in general were mere afterthoughts.

I had a similar feeling the first time I met my wife.

 

These well because! The first time I saw this pic of kevs 56 i about shit my pants its that BADASS! and the All Star Dodge funny because its a hometown operation no big deep pockets there just doing it the way it was done when drag racing was in its prime and trying to be competitive and put on a good show!

 

The Duane Spencer 32.

 

Yep......

 

yep cole fosters 36 3 window does it for me. done one hell of a job converting a 5 window to a 3 window. 2nd would be cadzilla or scrape

 

just afew that made me go back and look again

 

I'm not really a roadster fan but this one is the s$%t, does anyone have anymore pics of it?

I really like this touring too, again anyone have anymore pics of this?

 

so it's not old, it's wasn't even produced , and it's probably against all beliefs that is the h.a.m.b. but the Holden Efijy has got to be that car for me. no pics but heres the wikipedia page for it! haha

This is an (alleged) original NAPCO with an (alleged) 478 V6. I didn't start opening the dude's hood in the Chevron parking lot so I take his word for it.

 

Yes, indeed.

 

these

 

Yup. When I was a kid I saw a Jaguar XK120 roadster. It looked like a futuristic space ship to me.
Love at first sight.

 

Boyd's Whattheheye has always done it for me.

 

One night I was sitting at a light in San Antonio (stationed at Brooks AFB) on some 8-lane throughway into town. My car was a 57 100-6 A-H with a 301 2x4 and stock healey trans. Light turned green and I just left normally, and a 300SL appeared beside me...we began to match speed, and made it through the next set of lights (just about a ¼mi) doing around 85-90mph...then we both hit it....he left me in a swirl of Texas dust....I've never forgotten the ease with which he blew my off without anywhere near the amount of noise my car was making.

for me.. It has to be the black and gold 56 chevy that was built by austin speed shop...that car is ammazing! Don't have any good pics though. Anybody have any?

My 56, I was going down the freeway a metal bar went under my car cut my brake line traffic came to a stop I didn't and had to ride the side of the freeway until I came to a stop. (true story)
