Time flies when your lazy and have stuff to do. I can't remember exactly when it was but I know it was at least two weeks or more ago. I've never uploaded this many pictures in my life so I hope you enjoy it. All pictures are clickable for 1600x1200.









Was neat to see his Challenger out, I had just read about it a few days earlier. Later on in the day he had one of his swamp rats out there, but I didn't have my camera with me.

















Slant six drag car, why not.







That's exactly the kind of hood scoop I want to put on my cuda eventually.













One of the most interesting cars at the show





Yes, that's wood. Why? Why not. I forgot to take a picture of the entire car but it was on a Charger.

















Yeah...









Old truck



But whats that



A modern hemi, nice

















































Another very interesting vehicle from the day, not the best looking, but very interesting nonetheless.









The guy had it running while I took this. Sounded like crap though, stock exhaust is for pansies :p













Someone finally found a good use for a 60's Mustang :p

I would have put a lot more comments but it's 3am and just saving these to my computer was a bit of a pain in the ass. Hope you liked it, there were a lot more interesting cars towards the end of the day, but I had been there all day with only two hours of sleep.
 
Great stuff Diablo. 👍

Loving that Black Magnum and the Imperial with the shaker hood. :drool:
 
Nice shots! Looks like it was fun. Where was this show at BTW?

I like that Mopar Challenger, at first I thought it was a vintage one :lol: then I realized it was new.

I like that first white pickup, the one with the Neo-Hemi. Very bad arse!

:lol: Does the Mustang pool table run? :lol:
 
The show was in Ocala. It was actually a bit smaller than I thought it would be but it's still a decent 30 minute to a hour walk to get through all of the cars. I really wish I went through the museum though, would have been epic to be able to see the 66 Hemi Under Glass Cuda in person.

My suggestion if you ever go though, bring your own vehicle. I went with my Mopar friends from the local car show and we ended up staying there from 8:00am to a little bit after it closed at 4:30pm, and I had only gotten two hours of sleep :boggled:
 
The car above the pool table, is that a Cheetah? Old school funny cars for the win. Any gassers there, they be my favorite :dopey:
 
I recognised, and could name nearly every one of those cars. seeing AMC's that were actually taken care of was a suprise (especially that relatively rare newer Pacer coupe (i think))

other things that got my attention: the depression era humpback delivery body, the D100 with the modern engine in it (for those of you guys that don't know, jeep ran with a similar body for it's J pickups), and something Diablo missed. there's a 'lil red express right beside it!

Yeah, I should have taken a picture of it. There were a ton of other cars there but I was tired so I focused mainly on the cars I was interested in or cars you don't see every day. I couldn't tell you how many later A body Barracudas, Dusters and other very popular cars were there, there was actually an entire section that was just E body Barracudas. There was also a Superbird and Daytona there, I probably should have got those.

Next time I'll take a lot more pictures, although I'm already not looking forward to uploading them. Hopefully I'll be able to bring my Barracuda, It would be the first time she's ever been in the proximity of other Early A bodies, in my possession at least.

I want one of those in my flat!

Agreed. That is just about the most awesome thing I have ever seen, oozing with both kitsch and cool at the same time. Would swap it for my battered old Filipino homemade table any day of the week.
 
Brilliant photos. Especially loved the Challenger at the top.
