Here's a picture of me racing my coupe at Barona (Indian Reservation, San Diego County) 1/8 mile. I ran it about half dozen times and had a blast. And nothing broke! BTW I built this engine, it's a 276ci. Flatty, '39 top loader, stock banjo.

Snipe (USN ret.)

 

Nice. What did it turn?

I'll find out. Pretty sure it's gone with the wind, like the rest of them.

 

I believe my best time was 11.2 @ 60 MPH. It wouldn't hook up off the get--go and I couldn't keep my foot out of it. A lot of fun though.

Great Thread!! Heres one of my favorites!

 

Jay, fantastic thread my man!!!!!

 

That car is awesome !!! I have seen the rebuild progress each year when I attend the CHRR. I hope to see it make a pass soon.

 

Since Randy shared his perfect Fiat with us, here's a few others which I have collected over the years, plus 3 other wild coupes.

Great thread!!!!

 

Hey man. Do you know anything about that 32 with the inline six that you posted? I now own that car and am looking for info on it. Where'd you get that picture from? Thanks

Blackout, any info on this car? I bought a car with a rear sloping chop similar to this a few years back, mine had scoops on the rear quarters [side] and exhaust cutouts through the bottom of the rear quarters. Sorry no pics loaded at this time.

 

A few more from over the years starting in 1961 at Island Dragway in New Jersey.
