another Ebay post (don't look if it upsets you.) old racer

I thought some might enjoy checking this thing out. It turns my crank. I think we all fantasize about owning an old race car.

B/A drag racer

 

Shhhwing.....now I need a cigarette.

 

that looks to be the same guy that just sold an old sports custom not to long ago. if so he's got some cool stuff.

 

Put some light on it and drive the hell out of the damn thing. I want it now damnit...

 

Thats sum of our own HAMBer "MARSHALL's" work. "Hey Vern" looks like yer "famous" now!.......OLDBEET

 

That sure was a fun ride

 

Yeah but I kicked your ass...HA

 

I notice it has different wheels on it. Marshall do you still have my front wheel bearings for my Hals that were on it?

 

Bearings? what bearing ? I an't got no stinking bearings.
Hal, ya I know Hal he's a nice guy .
On it? ya I've been on it, Its fun as long as you don't stand up
Yes superbell you did lick my ass that day.

 

That was KICKED YER ASS sonny and you know it, now for the next race this summer---pack your lunch.

 

Side note about the roadster above, I just recieved this information and thought it was interesting.That roadster raced at Beechmont Dragway in Cincinnati, Ohio in the late 50's - early 60's. A feature is on page 78 in the June 1960 Hot Rod magazine, showing Gil and crew. Ran a '55 Chevy. bored to 283 with Offenhauser tripower intake, 97's, Chev factory fuel injection pistons. Rest of motor was stock. Turned 12.28 @ 116 at time of feature in Hot Rod. Ran Moon discs on steel wheels.

 

Pretty damn quick.. it's amazing what you can do with those 283's, I swear. Those old racers are cool... they are kinda ugly, but the history there is awesome, and to see it still around is even better.

 

Ugly? That's a little harsh I would think, in my eyes its pure early vintage racer and a thing of beauty. But different strokes for different folks.
