Race Cars On The Street

Here is a shot of a steetable Indy roadster I saw at a St. Pete auto museum a few years back - http://www.tbauto.org/about.htm - but I don't think it is still on display there.

But my all time favorite is Bill Wentz's 32 sedan. Gary

 

This is a local Outlaw 10.5/ Dragradial racer Mark Woodruff. This car is packed with a Prolines built twin turbo , electronic fuel injection, Big Block Chevy. It has been 199.97 MPH in the quarter . And he drives it on the street. Very tasteful car with stock style dash. Stock door panels. Stock steering wheel (quick release) , Stock side pipe covers. And stock hood. Car has stock floor pans too. Very nice car. I love seeing stuff like this. The use of asmany stock parts you can.

 

Thanks a lot!!!! :-/ Now I want to build one of these too!!! My wife will kill me before I get to build one of everything.

 

Bava17 That is the stance Nice work......

 

How did you fit your American-sized body in that little thing?

 

I love it! Driving a car on the street, that needs a parachute to stop?

 

I can show you, sometime.

I still own it...

 

When I was about 8 years old my Mom and I were driving down the interstate outside Dallas.... When an bright red Austin Bantem bodied Altered passed us.... Blown Hemi, slicks, zoomies.... I went insane.... I will never forget that. And I hope my Anglia gives some kid the same reaction!!!!

 

I know where there's a Kellison with vette frame, 283, three strombergs and a 4 speed... was a complete car with Bay Area history... was shown at the Oakland Roadster Show... might be for sale...

How about X race cars? The 80's were fun! That's Vic Young's "Bad News" Willys in the last pic with previous owner Hank driving.

 

love it, BBC in a mustang.

...and 1984 called: they want their wheels back...

 

I always dug the story of Phil Spector's Daytona Cobra coupe.

 

ran the coupe in race trim on the street for a couple of months.. The police were not thrilled with the slicks or the scoop....
Pontiac Slim
