Nope, Not a Ford of any kind. But yes, it has Isky cams.

 

[stumpydino]

de soto? or maybe a chevrolet independence? i dunno

 

[Slicks]

Are you sure it's not a T? Or at least the body?? Because I've got a 1/2 finished model sitting in my room, and the body has the same lines and look.

 

[High-Test]

Believe it or not, It's an American Austin.

 

[VIPFREAK]

I can't remember if it's called the Starbird or Thunderliner, It's a 1960 thunderbird with a 1960 Starliner roof. It looks Infinitely cooler than the THunderbird roof.


A pic of the Thunderliner's interior:

Another pic:

Nosed and Decked is the way to go. 👍

That's 🤬 awsome! Thanks for the extra pics! :tup:

 

[Slicks]

[stumpydino]

[Slicks]

Ohhh..... Those are nice. '66 is my favorite year for the Riviera.

 

[Jugend]

FUDGE! That's hot. I've sent them an email for a bigger size of that pic. If I'm about to start a new toon, this will probably be it.

Sorry for the double post but the guy that owns this, or one like it, lives around me. I see it all the time out on the road.

I hope you throw sharp or heavy objects at him.

 

[Joey D]

Check this out!

Jesus H. Christ that thing must haul ass.

And cracker, I actually like the car. It's different and the amount of work that went into it is amazing.

 

[High-Test]

I bet it does. I can't Imagine how much work it took to put in that Hemi and a Corvette rear end in such a tiny car.

I kinda like it.

 

[Joey D]

I would love to drive it, the guy says it smooth but I can't imagine trying to keep that thing straight and on the road.

 

[Slicks]

Damn.... that thing IS an engine on wheels!

 

[Revheadnz]

Check this out!

Holy crap, that thing would be mental! That must have taken so much work to get that monster engine into a bugeye and still keep it looking stock as a rock on the outside.

 

[stumpydino]

I hope you throw sharp or heavy objects at him.

yu think thats horrible jus look at this


then again, could be worse

 

[slimer90210]

It kinda reminds me of that car but the aain it has been so long since i have seen that movie...

All I can say is 'wow'. How they can see past the engine is a mystery to me.

I know it's not exactly a muscle car, or a custom. But it's still cool.

And this is just a cool picture.

uhm because its in the middle, its not as if its directly in front of the driver

 

[High-Test]

It's Freakin cool, Slicks. It's the Stingray prototype, right?

 

[stumpydino]

hey guys in case you hadnt noticed, check out my thread for loads of hot rod pics here!

 

[Slicks]

Of course you could see past it, but I was referencing more towards the giant blind spot that it would leave.

And yes, Menglan. It's the 1959 Corvette Stingray concept/prototype. It was a race car first, and then turned into what you see there. I do believe it was Harley Earl's car in the early 60's.

 

[High-Test]

I thought it was Bill Mitchell's car... Hmm... Maybe I'm wrong though.

Off topic, but my Dad's friend had two pet pigs named Harley & Bill.

 

[High-Test]

A guy on The H.A.M.B. at Japlopyjournal.com owns that lime green '60s TBird.

Nice pics Stumpy! That's one of the prettiest '32 3 windows I've ever seen. (the Flat Black one on Torq-Thrusts) 👍

A little more info on the 'people eater..

I believe it was a 1930 Model A sedan, chopped and channeled over a Z'ed frame, the motor is a Pontiac, (347 I believe) That came out of a drag car, and it's Blown & Injected.

At least that's what I read.

 

[Slicks]

Bill Mitchell. That's who I was thinking of. You're right, it was Bill Mitchell's car. Just forgot about him.
