Nice score on the pics.Those are great.
The thread has been jumping lately.Some terrific stuff showing up.

 

It wasn't in California, and from the look of it, probably before my time. I'm old, but not that old!

 

I agree, things have stepped up a notch. Thanks for the contributions and KEEP LOOKING for more!!-MIKE

 

Hmmm, push bar for reverse? I actually have no idea what it is but sure looks goofy.

 

180 degree exhaust... I saw it in a magazine on one of Dick Landy's cars. I'm glad it did not catch on...It looks terrible.

 

Hmm...exhaust pointing forward? All of the 180degree headers I've seen point backwards! I would think that at speed there's a simple physics issue of air pushing back down the pipes. I guess if you don't experiment, you never find stuff that works.

 

OK, next batch. Again, these are Rex Marshall photos that I stumbled across while looking for something else and the text in quotes come from the collection. Some are not "in motion" but are so cool that I couldn't resist including them. Enjoy.
