Carrera Panamericana

Is this considered a rallye as in Europe only with vehicle limitations?

 

Some of the cars have long interesting histories, one car is Ralph Carungi's Lincoln it was a movie car "Moonshine Highway" when I first saw it had a 455 olds, then it was built by John Ward as a panam racer with first a 302 and then a 351 underneath the body wrap is a p***able paint job, the graphics I did in 1999. Its fun watching cars change over time.

 

So cool! That race has been a dream, since I was a kid reading about it my old hot rod magazines.Unreal ,how many Studes were in the the Hunt.Thanks guys for posting.

 

X2... Gary

 

That should be on your bucket list!

 

You can see some of these cars at the next Pikes Peak hillclimb. as to how many Studes I would guess 15 Starlite coupes.
