Event Coverage Amelia pics from today

Gotta say I wouldn't be seen in that! Sweet jesus! Highlander nailed it. Goddam hippies...

 

Whoh! DeThomaso Vallelunga. RARE car and very cool! I remember when this was in R&T in '66 or '67!


Another mid blower! I gotta go to this deal someday! And I think that was Dan Blockers USRRC car further up too.

 

I'd like to know what's going on here, is this old, what drives this blower?



Thanks for posting up the rest, certainly an eclectic looking mix.

 

Love seeing the Phantom Corsair!
Where are the concept cars, Jocko???????

 

Highlander. More *****in' HAMB-put. All good stuff you show. I'm with ya on the awesome old Nascars. (Camrys in NASCAR? WTF?).

Paint stripper for the hippy Porsche please.

 

Great pictures! Thanks again for sharing.

 

The blue skirted car was a new build. The engine is a 5.4 Ford with vintage looking dress all over it. The blower is driven conventional under that stuff, also had some pretty big "Ardun" head covers. All in all a cl*** act and something I'm usually not very fond of, but it had a certain something going for it. Sorry I didn't get the concept cars. When you're with a group you sorta roll with it.

 

The car was built by Rob Ida lots of pictures out there of the build.

 

Gotta respect anything with that level of forethought and execution. I do find the break in the bottom of the door kind of pretentious though, it would look cleaner if they just ended the door there. Did they start with a Lincoln zephyr coupe?

 

Chasing cl***ic cars had the Joplin Porsche on it the other day, without "graphics" that car is a million plus, with "graphics" and history it sold for 3 million +!! Pretty interesting episode if you can catch it.

 

It's a '40 Merc.
