Nope, Not a Ford of any kind. But yes, it has Isky cams.
 
Are you sure it's not a T? Or at least the body?? Because I've got a 1/2 finished model sitting in my room, and the body has the same lines and look.
 
Believe it or not, It's an American Austin. :eek:

I can't remember if it's called the Starbird or Thunderliner, It's a 1960 thunderbird with a 1960 Starliner roof. It looks Infinitely cooler than the THunderbird roof.


A pic of the Thunderliner's interior:

Another pic:

Nosed and Decked is the way to go. :cool: 👍

Sorry for the double post but the guy that owns this, or one like it, lives around me. I see it all the time out on the road.

Jesus H. Christ that thing must haul ass.

And cracker, I actually like the car. It's different and the amount of work that went into it is amazing.
 
I bet it does. I can't Imagine how much work it took to put in that Hemi and a Corvette rear end in such a tiny car.

I kinda like it.
 
I would love to drive it, the guy says it smooth but I can't imagine trying to keep that thing straight and on the road.
 
Damn.... that thing IS an engine on wheels!

Holy crap, that thing would be mental! That must have taken so much work to get that monster engine into a bugeye and still keep it looking stock as a rock on the outside.

All I can say is 'wow'. How they can see past the engine is a mystery to me.

I know it's not exactly a muscle car, or a custom. But it's still cool.

Of course you could see past it, but I was referencing more towards the giant blind spot that it would leave.

And yes, Menglan. It's the 1959 Corvette Stingray concept/prototype. It was a race car first, and then turned into what you see there. I do believe it was Harley Earl's car in the early 60's.
 
I thought it was Bill Mitchell's car... Hmm... Maybe I'm wrong though.

Off topic, but my Dad's friend had two pet pigs named Harley & Bill.
 
A guy on The H.A.M.B. at Japlopyjournal.com owns that lime green '60s TBird.

Nice pics Stumpy! That's one of the prettiest '32 3 windows I've ever seen. (the Flat Black one on Torq-Thrusts) 👍

A little more info on the 'people eater..

I believe it was a 1930 Model A sedan, chopped and channeled over a Z'ed frame, the motor is a Pontiac, (347 I believe) That came out of a drag car, and it's Blown & Injected.

At least that's what I read.
 
Bill Mitchell. That's who I was thinking of. You're right, it was Bill Mitchell's car. Just forgot about him.
