Alrighty

 

Cool pics!!

 

yeah some are totally ot for here but i really dig the late 60s and eraly 70s racing muscle cars.

 

Back 'round '64-'68 I used to live near Laguna Seca, there was a Ford Falcon roadracer, in class "A" Sedan, was great watching him mix it up with Mustangs, etc. His last name I think was 'Pike", as the car was referred to as "Pike's Falcon"....anyone have pics or info???

Might be ot for this fourm but I love the AAR Cuda's. Noticed a Cheetah in there also.

 

I like the blue #6 Penske Z/28 Camaro..

 

...
Cool shots of the Cunningham and cobras and early vettes...was told 69 and earlier on another thread.

 

Yes, this thread would be right at home on our sister site www.dogfightmag.com!

 

you were told wrong about 69.. 64 is the cut off because of the GTO? the muscle car was born.. aka you could go buy a hotrod,, i think this is why pre 64. rock on.
chris.

 

Your wrong also!!
I think it's got something to do with pony cars..
I haven't seen anyone here puke over an old goat...

 

Was it either one of these?

 

I feel the cut off date gets a little break when talking about race cars. if I'm wrong the mods will let us know.

 

These pictures are sure on topic for me. Some of the most famous race cars ever built. Spectacular stuff.

 

Especially in the Old Farts Club.

 

thanxs for posting these old racing pics love,em cheers

 

yep OT but everybody has to appreciate racecars...This was the epitomy (spell check?) of racing in any form other than a straight line that is!!

 

There was a sedan class in transam for a while, Falcons Chevy II's, Valiants and Darts, and Gremlins / hornets.

I believe it was a under 5 liter class There was also Radial Sedan Class uner the IMSA sanction, running on Goodrich Trans Am Radials. 232 cu in was the largest engine allowed, there was supposedly a weight bias for the larger engines cars which supposidly equalized the 194, chevy the 200 ford the 225 Mopars and the 232 AMC's.
I believe there was an additional penalty for those running Pontiac OHC cars.

They ran combined races with Alfa Romeos, BMW, Opels, Datsuns, and other under 2 liter sedans. Probably some Pintos, and Vegas.

 

This car screams "FUN!"
