As epic as the entire post is, the white autocross Mustang takes the cake. That thing looks mental. E-cookie for a video. The pic of both Vettes drifting out a curve and the flying 55 are awesome too. MOAR.

Man, that GNX is pure badass 👍. And I like the drifting Vettes, classics going sideways.

Oh lawdy Dodge Charger

That RT is what I call a Mopar. 👍

Oh crap that Corvette. There's a guy with real balls for putting on a giant wing that will get him a lot of flaming, but ask him about how much better the thing feels with some dozens of pounds pushing down his rear tires now. Everything else is awesome too, but I'd prefer two exhaust tips.

Hello ladies, here's some manly men in their manly man machines 👍

^ So full of win!

Foud these on another forum...

 

[Cano]

hahaha some of these are awesome. Of course stuff like the mu,my is too much, but everything else truly represents the all-out garishness that characterized the 70s. The gals aren't half bad either...

Look at those!

Kind of makes you wonder where these particular cars are at today ? Preserved in a museum somewhere ? Private Owner collection ? Destroyed throughout the years ?

Cano will know...

haha, I wish. I had never ever seen any of those with the exception of the mummy thing, which I really hope has burned in the seventh hell lol.

The first one is still around the Di-Dia 150, it was restored a few years ago and was/is in display at a museum in Missouri. http://www.conceptcarz.com/z18215/Di-Dia-150.aspx

Yeah, I know. I have one that an uncle gave years and years ago, I recognice the car/flesh format, but it never occured to me to search E-Bay for them 👍

Nice link. 👍

7 years to build it, and back then (1953-1960) it cost $150,000.00 to do so. Back in those days, that was a lot of cabbage. Even at today's standards, it's a chunk of change.

Yeah, I looked for it yesterday with the name of the owner. The people involved in the build is like a who's who. Awesome car. I love how it doesn't have a single detail that's out of place or style. you know how you can always find that single flaw that makes you go "duh", but this car is perfect from tip to toe, interior, suspension, power, aesthetics, and the athletic stance holy hell. It looks more sports car than hot rod but still manages to be a freaking 32 Ford.

Those AMC's are to die for.
