Not Clearspot but from what I've read the car was so squirrelly that Strickler refused to allow it to be sold at the end of the season, fearing...
Btt
I started out with Tonka trucks, Matchbox cars and Motorific race tracks, then graduated to model cars and Aurora Thunderjet slot cars. I managed...
I don't know if it strictly fits the category as a Kustom since, in the mind of the builder it was a prototype, but Father Alfred Juliano's 1957...
Man, I wish I did! I was in 8th grade at the time and didn't have a camera of my own, plus it never occurred to me the car wouldn't always be...
If you are still interested in wheel suggestions, when he was in high school in the early '70s, my brother ended up with my Mom's old car, a 1964...
Thanks for posting the pic of the Hamiltons with Marty Robbins. I am a big Bobby Hamilton fan (hence the "BHfanGB") and am always on the look out...
That is an old Revell kit and it shared a chassis with a Camaro F/C. My brother had it back in the day and I still have some scattered remains of...
My buddy Joe and I were walking along a dirt road that connected two parts of a yard in Colchester,CT. This guy is about 6'2", about 250 or so and...
The last one I had was in a '72 Lemans that I sold about 12 years ago. It fit perfectly into the space for the ashtray.... no brackets or screws...
My quickest was a '68 GTO powered by a tweaked '70 Ram Air III motor. It was a high 12 second street car that looked all stock, right down to the...
I've only totalled one car and I did the world a favor by doing it. I was selling Chevys in 1985 and being the newest guy at the dealership, I got...
I think my buddy Joe's '65 Satellite would qualify as a street freak. No mile-high stance or straight axle but the rest of the vibe is there....
I just stumbled across this thread and I have to say congratulations on finding an honest-to-God factory show car, especially as intact as you...
The last one I pretty-much completed was an HAMB unfriendly '70 Coronet street machine (built early '70s style). I'd post a couple pics but since...
RAF, you wouldn't happen to still have that '55 Nomad kit, would you? I know a guy that is looking for it for his collection!
Trust me, DrJ, you weren't the only one doing that. I've picked up several vintage kits over the years whose box tops were used as paint racks. I...
Here are a few more-[IMG][IMG]
Here's a few from my collection-[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]
I couldn't narrow it down because I've seen a bunch of odd/rare/cool stuff in yards. In one yard in Colchester, CT my buddy and I found an early...
I was not trying to "prove (you) incorrect". I was simply trying to provide correct information about the origins of Beswick's car. I was also...
If you are referring to Arnie's car as being "totally aftermarket" with a "tubing space frame", you are mistaken. Underneath that fiberglass body...
Muttley! Who told you it was my birthday today? Thanks for the present of all these cool vintage shots! LOL!
How many of us bought it about 5 years ago when it was re-issued because they missed it the first time?
Hmm.... I wonder if I could SELL something to someone and then GIVE them the R-12 as part of the deal? That way I wouldn't be selling it, merely...
A few years ago, I was offered the contents of a garage. Mostly junk, but among the bits and pieces were several cans of R-12 automotive A/C...
From what I can see from the shape of the head rest, I'd guess that it came out of an AMC from the late 60s or very early 70s.
"Restored", when referring to a car that has has a drive train swap (like a SBC into a Pontiac, Olds or Buick), color changes, aftermarket wheels,...
Hated to get rid of my O/T '68 GTO. It was my first hot car and I had it when I met my wife. I looked stock but had a warmed up Ram Air III...
Stunning! I love it!
