All my friends know the lowrider.

The lowrider is a little higher.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Low rider drives a little slower

Low rider is a real goer.

Putting this beauty here too.

Admit it, this has got to be one of the sexiest '68 Camaro's out there.

"Back in the day"

A Mako Shark and a Barracuda!!


Have some African muscle (Actually 'Stralia made it for South Africa - The Chevy SS)

 

[Slash]

I'm pretty sure that's just a modded L88 427 Corvette made to look like a Mako Shark.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I swear that looks like a painting...

 

[Slash]

Might be but it's a damn good one showcasing the 70s muscle car scene, if it is.

There was more pics too, top fuel cars at the strip at stuff sponsored by that place.

WAIT Spaulding is closed and abandoned? WTH!

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I would love it if someone reopened it. And touched up the drag strip.

 

[Slash]

WAIT Spaulding is closed and abandoned? WTH!

My thoughts exactly. Legendary place. They closed in the late 80s.



EDIT

 

[Cano]

That Grand Spaulding Dodge post is the best thing you have ever put in here, dude.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I agree, @Slash's Grand Spaulding picture set is enough to make a grown (car) man cry. And then you see the last pictures, those are just simply heart-breaking man... "How the might have fallen" is not enough to describe the feeling one has after seeing that. How did you find those pictures anyway? The older ones, I mean.

 

[Slash]

Facebook and Google.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Facebook and Google.

Welp,that was straight-foward. Nevertheless, it was a good find, getting all those pictures. Someone kept these old records around for a long time...

They are still in business as a speed shop just not as a dealership. Mr. norm had his 50th anniversary recently

Huh, I guess he has some miles behind him already, at half a century of age. Hopefully he can last the other half to keep on tuning cars. 👍

It's the 50th Anniversary of the company. They released 100 custom Dodge Challengers
