hot rods, muscle cars, customs...

I must say that's growing on me. At first, I didn't care for it (and the brown interior is meh) but it's slowly coming around.

Never cared for low pros on muscle cars either but they look alright.

 

The damn car is horrendous, but the work on it is astounding.

 

12.9 Litre Weineck Cobra V8

Oh god...That hood needs to go but otherwise wow...

 

yea the hood looks really bad on it ...

 

I'm not a fan of that style hood period though.

 

The hood and the wheels need to go. I never saw a cheaper knock-off of Shelby-style Halibrands. Ew.

Also, I love how the link treats the car as something outrgeous when it's just a kit car with a Donovan in it. Come on, I could build one tomorrow, would it also mean I "designed" it and such stuff?

 

Mother of me.


same car, candy red paint job, "street" tires:





The thing reportedly was a very heavy hitter in Mullholand Drive's notorious illegal night road racing in the 70s and early 80s along with a split window Vette that was also flared.

 

Oh my god. This is why I love muscle cars. Oh my god

 

Thats hot

 

That is so freakin badass. Love everything about it.

 

Nice death trap

Anyway, MOAR 70s street freaks:

check this out!

 

These are my kind of muscle cars....keep em coming!

 

Lately I've been deep into the 70s street-freak style. I just love the wild **** people did to cars back in the day

 

Makes me wonder what happened to all those old street machines. I guess they all either got wrecked or were restored back to stock at some point.

 

I do too, especially having grown up with some of that stuff via my dads friends.

I'm not recognizing the El Camino styled truck with the purple cap. Looks Aussie, but seems like it has a GMC badge on the front. I know GMC made several El Camino styled vehicles but can't seem to put a name to that particular style. Looks like something Holden based, since the grill looks like something on a Kingwood or something GTS.. Whatever it is, I like it

 

Yeah, looks to be a Holden HQ ute to me. Happy to be corrected though, I'm much more of a Commodore guy anyway.

 

I was all over Holden but i couldn't put a name to it

 

Super awesome post, @RocZX. I love the historic pictures you always post.

 

I thought it was that as well, but the front fascia isn't correct.

 

guess what, people.




Just look at this



516-inch roller stroker, 11-flat seconds on those tires-Nova:

496-inch, 10.13 second, daily-driven real-steel 32:




Awesome Camaro from Japan:


And the golden lock:

EDIT:



YESSSSSSS

 

I've seen that car before and I can't quite finger point to where..

It just hit me, I think I saw it on this thread.

Epic read if you love old Mullholand stories from guys that used to race there. Originally about someone trying to locate a very notorious chop top 911 that used to race there and it became a huge thread about old racers and their cars as well as some amazing vintage photos of such cars.

 

2600 HP Ford Falcon anyone??

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2600-hp-ford-falcon-runs-1-8-mile-in-4-seconds-video-58358.html

 

Yes, you saw it there. I actually made a thread about that thread here in GTP I think.

EDIT: No I din't. But I DID post about it here, I know it.

RE-EDIT: Ah, here it is:

And actually, you did the next reply for it, so I guess I'm guilty of you getting on that thread too

 

Haha, wow. I wondering how I found that thread!
Postception!

Great, I'm back to trying to find that damn Evil Seville.....
