This little scooter lives close by in Russellville TN
Custom front tube axle, VERY narrow Ford rear end, Chevy V6 and auto.
Lots of stock bits and pieces of trim.
Plus he has another one.

 

There's a pretty nice stocker for sale here in central Missouri.

 

I have a Simca 5, same as Fiat 500 (Topolino), this one was at LARS, one of the nicest I have seen.

 

Yep Mark's definitely an inspiration...

Here's some recent pics of 'Chinese Bandit ' now in the UK and owned by myself and Arron Haywood.

 

A few old pics of it back in the day

 

The "Heaven Pacers" ran this Fiat bodied altered around the Northern California area. Before the drags would start on Sunday, they conducted religious services. Posted by @296ardun on Facebook.

 

No spare wheel cut out.

Is that a Simca or Fiat factory deal? Topos are pretty rare down this corner of the South Pacific, so we dont have many to compare to.

Thanks.

 

I own the original ch***is to this frantic fiat and am in the process of restoring it ! The guy in it was bob ramsier

 

First time back on a race track since 1967!

 

Sorry, no pics. I came close back in the 70's. Went to look at a 37 Topo. It had a 292 Chevy six in it. Came back a couple days later with the cash. The guy apologized, his nephew got so upset when he found out he was selling it, and he wanted to keep it in the family, he gave it to him. Never saw it again, probably sitting out behind the barn still?

 

That is absolutely great! Congrats on getting this piece of history back out there for all of us to enjoy.

 

Didn't know they were a thing in the US

 

Would like to know where you got the 1947 simca as I am the one who built it.Give me a call 217242 7434 Art

 

I remember taking that photo of my Fiat in the pits at the CHRR.

 

In the first post of this thread showing the famous Magic Muffler bottom end explosion at Lions Dragstrip in 1965. The person in the lower left corner of the picture is somewhat a friend of mine.
Him and his best friend and their wives moved out to California from a small town in southeatern Nebraska to live in the car-hot rod-racing scene. They enjoyed it for several years and then decided to go back to Nebraska to raise their kids. I met him a few years ago at a small town cars and coffee. I just loved hearing his stories.
