hot rods, muscle cars, customs...

In fact, the purple chavy with scallops is a clone of Larry Watson's Grapevine, a car he built in the mid 50s indeed. Nice find.

I think thats the real deal....the california plate is the same.

 

[Strittan]

I think I'm in love.....

Wow, thats what I'm talking about right there! Best hot rod photos I've seen I think.

This thread has been lacking tremendously, so we need some road race muscle cars to make up for it.

Some race-bred Vettes:

More road oriented but awesome still, pity on the billets:

The legendary Greenwood Corvette, big pics, but the bigger the better with this car!!

715 hp aluminum 427 inch engine. Scary.

Some fenders…

And a bonus 73 Trans Am 455 SD.

 

[Encyclopedia]

That Greenwood corvette is brutal!

 

[DKX]

I thought I'd share some of my favorites I've shot in the past year.. ;D

Rest are in the links in my sig.

The pickup is pretty neat, if it had a 2x4 setup it would justify to run it with no hood.

and that black Fairlane with the 427 FE is awesome!!!

 

[Barracuda]

Was just a regular day at the car show until this beast showed up. There was a lot of custom work put into this car just from looking at it. One of the coolest things is the taillights, those pistons were in that engine and he got new ones when he rebuilt it.

[Prosthetic]

Woooooo.............very nice a rat a little diferent! 👍

Like the "details" (exhaust, tail lights...)

I think the only problem is the seats, imagine a long trip on this seat... Aaaahhhhh my butt

 

[Jim Prower]

Even worse than that...THERE'S NO FLOOR!!!

Definitely a short-distance driver...or the owner is very tolerant of getting zinged by pebbles.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Maybe theres no brakes and he has to pull a Fred Flintstone to stop the thing.

 

[RedTransAm]

In the spirit of the Corvettes up there, here are some more road race muscle cars mostly from the Trans Am series:

'67 Cougar

'70 Challenger

'70 'Cuda

'67 Z/28

'70 Javelin

'70 Boss 302

'63 Z06

'67 Cougar

That car is really amazing looking, I love it's stance.

I'd drive that thing every day.

 

[84SSccc]

Since were one the subject of road racing.... How about this monster

And an '81 Camaro that Ran Le Mans in 1982.

Spoiler is a little weird on this one but the rest of the car has an awesome look to it with the flared fenders. Almost could pass as a '69-'72 Skyline 2000 GT-R

 

[LSX]

That GTO is, wow I have nothing to say...

 

[High-Test]

Finally! A big shot of the car that has been neanderthal's avatar since the stone ages. 👍

A most worthy and badass car indeed.

 

[a112]

MOPAR wing picture is awesome,as the Greenwood Vette.

ROAD RACE MUSCLE ROX EVERY KIND OF SOX!!!!!! I did not know the red Challenger, its impressive!!!!!!! The Le Mans Camaro is awesome also.

and in that vein, 1970 Mercury Montego race car, with a 555 ci big block:

undownloadable photos in here, lots and lots of them:

it's SO insane.

-------

Silver State Classic 1966 Chevelle, more top-speed than track racing but still awesome, fast, and that "every 66 Chevelle should look and act like this", look.

all-alloy Donovan big block making 750 hp:

-----------

Aussie Muscle Car Masters category 1968 Camaro:

Mustang from same category:

-----------

1968 Camaro auto crosser:

I'll post more as I find...

EDIT: OK, one more becauise it is SO awesome.. 1970 HEMI 'cuda in France, sitting in La Sarthe...

tough vibe, getting a 426 HEMI prepped for road course now, as it was set up for drag racing:

The red Challenger was built by Glenn Bunch and was in this month's Grassroots Motorsports. It's got 800 horsepower and placed third (first in class) at this year's UTCC.

[Feschka]

[Jim Prower]

haha! hot rods CAN go around corners!

If the corner is dirt. X3

 

[Sniffs]

around here, that's a classic dirt track machine. there's a micro dirt track oval not ten miles from me. my step father used to run that track in cars like those, and even my mum has associations with them

 

[ND4SPD]

I've got a pic request! SN95 New Edge Mustangs! I'm seriously thinking of getting one by the end of summer and was hoping I could get some ideas. I'll start it off!

This is a repost from the Mean and Sexy car pic thread but you kinda dont see 2000 hp cars every day:
