History What us trad rodders were doing in the 70's...

Seems like there was a center spread of that car (or similar one) in Pop Hot
Rodding, or 1001 Rod Ideas? Ages ago. As a kid I loved the crazy jacked up tri fives.

 

Maybe HOTROD Show World. The autorama book.

 

Time for another round of 1982 Street Machine Nats pix:

 

Nats continued : Would love to have this one today, nice rake and very straight.

 

Very nice driver, today a stout 327 or 427/4 speed would be in order.

 

"Rover, Wander, Nomad, Vagabond, call me what you will" (Metallica fans know)

 

....and would you look at that, shorts were still shorts, not these huge baggy dresses that come down past your knees......what we used to call high-water pants

 

LAst call for this round of '82 Nats: Yet another classic 'fiddy-5 that would make the scene today, no sweat.

 

I remember that 55. One mean street machine.

 

Local car, put together in the Sucking-in-da-'70's style Freaking wicked SBF/4speed/Locker!

 

Somebody call MUTLEY!

 

Last one: Later on, more street freaks to come....

 

Ya' know, the 70s spilled over into the 80s, just like the 60s spilled over into the 70s...
Just like the 50s spilled over into the 60s...
Blurry,... and I mean blurry lines...

 

Right On! There were so many cool Choppers in the 70's. I would like to have a bike like that now.

 

I remember the choppers with the Honda inline 4 motors

 

And no bra on the chick - there was a horrendous shortage of bras in the 70's!

 

they are drooping, man, they are most likely down to her ankles nowdays.

 

Hey now, you will need a man bra someday. Especially chunky monkeys.

 

“The Maniserre” for your Moobs.

 

Yes please.

 

The original, inspiring site for this thread pulled the plug two hours ago.
No more upintherear.

 

A shame, a cryin' shame...
