This is sooo wrong it's awesome. 70's street freakness at it's best.

 

[RocZX]

That looks awesome!

Holy 🤬, that thing is serious. And in Japan. Awesome.

Hot rod time:

This is perfect:

Check out that chop; also, notice that's not Bonneville; Muroc silt, baby!

Firepower, yo!

I think someone posted this one already, but I don't remember any car-to-car shots:

This one may be a repost, too:

And not a freaking rat rod in sight, thank God.

I love the look of it, the rust makes it look even better.

I did say I'd post some pics from the car show I went to a couple weeks back.

That orange Vega is local to me. Believe the owner said it had a 350 with some simple boltons. Wouldn't disclose his power numbers... dumps right out of two small pipes right after the headers. It's LOUD. Everytime he drives by my house it rattles everything inside.

Oh dear the crossrammed Nova

Oh dear the crossrammed Nova

I think I see it too much cause I've gotten bored of it! It's a nice little car though! I'm bored of a few cars.. including a local Plymouth Superbird. I see it way too much now. hah

Pic request:

Cobras and replicas. I'm especially interested to see what kinds of custom paint schemes and parts people have been putting on these things. Bring on the reposts. You can never have too much Cobra.

Edit: That... thing that Cale posted is drool-worthy.

For the Shelby's - Did Shelby himself ever make a one with 3 lines, like the orange one? Or were all of his the standard 2 stripes?

oooh, Ohio George's "Hurst Gasser passer" Anglia, one of the first car in history to sport the now-famous nose-high gasser stance. Nice find.

Also, Joe McPherson's Infinity Flyer, 1991 AMBR winner and one of the finest cars to ever win the AMBR trophy.

The thing has a hood over the Infinity V8, but in these pcis it's off, sadly:

It might look a bit dated now (come on, 1991) but the craftsmanship is amazing. Chrisman Brother's handiwork.

Tony Nancy-stitched office, done in a shop totally destroyed by an earthquake, but since the car had to be ready for the GNRS, the guy borrowed a generator to get hiis sewing machine to work and completed it in time. True story.

Infinity V8 off a Q45 with a custom handmande intake manifold:

I am so confused by this! Can anyone explain this to me? Was there ever an engine like this or is it just some crazy switch between the intake/exhaust?!

 

[Cano]

Port Swicth. That looks like a small block Chevy to me.

Didn't even know such witchcraft existed. You learn something new everyday!

 

[Cano]

And you should see that with turbochargers, or with Potvin blowers. Search for old Indy cars or bonneville setups. You'll be amazed at the packaging marvels.

 

[Cano]

Double post becasue bump and because awesome:

[Cano]

Screw you all non-posting people:

All of that in Paris, France.

 

[Nicksfix]

[Cano]

That red scalloped Merc is awesome! Nice comeback guys!

Edit:

I just discovered thiss car:

It's a very extreme show rod called the Juxtapod, built in Sweden of all places. Please go check out the link bellow so you can see the crystal details in the car. Yes, crystal. It's amazing.
