Anybody got some nice pictures of this?



Epic 👍

Happycorey, those Black and whites are awesome.

Do you have the link the original page where the last photo is? I need that for my wallpaper. Must. Have.

 

[chevy_freak]

That green 37 coupe just irratates the heck out of me. Fake patina and fiberglass bodies made to look like a barn finds is just stupid. Why make it looke like crap? Any car you put that much work into to keep the body looking half @ssed is just a lazy way of building a car

Lol I bet he does as much upkeep to keep it the way it looks as someone with a normal car. I understand why people think it's stupid to purposely make a car look like that but I hink it looks great. Have you seen what the car used to look like? This is leaps and bounds better even though it doesn't look like a show car

Dennisch here's the link to the picture on Flickr.. however that is the full size

I swear, at every show, there's always one.
like the last show I was at, 'classic, american custom show' two imprezas all stickered up in shopping lists, the most ignored cars in the show forgiving the girls on the gate for also letting in the mk3 capris and the PT cruisers, you have to wonder what the owners were thinking

best 89 bird in show

now, theres this guy who has a bunch of cars in Southall london, all pretty cool, calls the place London Motor Museum but despite the name is actually full of interesting cars. A few questionable ones, some odd wheel choices and a corner for the 'Total Kustoms Organisation' which seems to cater for footballers in desperate need for butterfly doors on their cayenne and the like, but otherwise a cracking bunch of badass cars.

Too true! They seem absurdly out of place at shows like that.

Nice pictures by the way. 👍

LOVE the Pinto! That is one awesome exhaust setup

Went to an American & Customs show last year, at the show car entrance I waited for photos of new arrivals, watching 3 Aston Martins in a row have to pull a U-turn after being rejected

Incredible post, loving it all!

thanks it was all plumbed in too not just for show!

Man, those are horrid, most of them anyway. If you’re gonna have the balls to make mince meat of a classic car by cutting it so much you don’t even know what it is in the end (Airflow), you’d better have the taste to finish it well.

The only decent ones are the green Cadillac and the primer blue 40 Ford, the rest are ghastly. I’d have to see the line of muscle cars one by one, but there is an Eleanor Rustang there, so I can’t expect much. At least the 70 Super Bee looks more or less ok.

The cars at the show are much more enjoyable.

 

[stumpydino]

you wouldnt want to see the muscles individually as that would mean seeing the wheels
i wouldnt want to ruin your impression of a passable super bee
oddly the 3 'eleanors' all had a tax disc with the same registration...something dodgy going on there lol

The combined horsepower from those three might match the output of a low-end supercar.

Back to the Pinto, I bet that thing can flat-out haul down the drag strip. I'd love to see and hear the thing opened up

 

[chevy_freak]

That pinto is the best...lol

Posted in the Import thread, oddly enough:

Totally not an import, but I don't care because it looks awesome:

 

[stumpydino]

a few from santa pod yesterday, more to come

 

[cathesjohn]

That was an excellent car of Santa. There are looking totally different. Its really a fantastic design. Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[Cano]

ooooo some very nice cars there. The red pickup, black 57 Chev and the Rustang are pretty clean and mean, but that Rolls Royce is freaking sick. It needs air intakes for the turbos. amazing.

 

[stumpydino]

the Rolls was ace, he kept the trim including AA and RAC club badges
some more!

 

[DKX]

^ that black bus is the one with the Viper V10 isn't it?

Also that red Bel Air gasser is HOT.

look at this beautiful thing:

 

[ND4SPD]

Is that a '62 Coronet with a modern day hemi?!


Oh and I think my car is is worthy of this thread.

 

[Rue]

Yowza!

Has anyone posted this before?

very cool, sometimes unchopped works better!

more!

The 62 Dodge wasn't called Coronet but Polara, and yes, it has at least a 6.1 HEMI in it. Way cool.

And your car is indeed worthy. Last time I saw an LT1 car do such a violent burnout was several years ago, everyone seemingly moved onto the LS train, but the LT1 is still an awesome engine.

Stumpy, the altered-wheelbase 57 is awesome, the guy almost nailed the period correct look!
