I saw that on instagram too and thought it looked very cool. In a similar vein Sydney Allard's 1952 Le Mans car is up for sale at the moment. If I win the lottery I'd be straight down there with cash. I know it's "British" but you don't get much more hot rod than a Hemi, La Salle trans and a Halibrand quick change rear end

From the woolly days of SCCA racing. That is a great looking car.

 

Boy, I'd love to hear that thing run and move. I tried looking it up on youtube, but typing in 1955 Mecca doesn't get the results I was after...

 

Those appear to be Porsche wheels and front hubs. What rear end is in it?

 

Very cool car. I find it amazing that with all the work in that car it appears to have those funky pipes that bend to any shape. Is that what they are or am I missing something?

 

Those are actually Wide 5 Ford wheels - Probably '39 w/ juice brakes.

 

What he said!

 

Thanks for that one. What a find.
