Harry Luzader. True keeper of the Hot Rod flame, check out the Hemi Challenger in the background. "Death to late model factory cars"

 

man, theres some cool shit on this thread!!!!

 

Looks like Paradise Mesa, San Diego. Who knows the story of the Hot Rod riots in San Diego that led to the opening of a drag strip?

 

Nice! I wonder how much it fetched.

 

I guess this would fit here 1955

 

I think you can see a dent in the floor board from pushing the gas pedal down so hard

 

Forgot the picture again

 

The BEST EVER Bob Lee and the THUNDER SHIFTER , I watched this car as a kid at Miami Hollywood Speedway. What a real gear Jammin' 4 speed!

 

this one's kinda special to me...

 

My 37 has seen some track time, but a local fella named Lee owns this gem and i know its seen track time at manassas and probably other locations. Gotta love a 4 speed coupe.




And for all the track time its also seen street time.

 

Posting a larger picture to help RichFox find this bad boy and bring it back home.

 

I believe this is Butch Blair's coupe. The original Fugowie.

 

Where Fugowie did he come up with that fugly chop top idea?

 

Butch told me at Bowling Green a couple of years ago that his first car was a coupe, but I haven't talked to him since this picture surfaced. Don't know if he chopped it or someone else did it.
