WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE

WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.

SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME TO FIND A GREAT CAR, SOME FIND IT WHEN THEY ARE A TEEN, AND WAIT A LIFETIME TO WON IT. MARK WAS A FORTUNATE RARITY, HE GOT BOTH THE CAR HE DESIRED 30ISH YEARS AGO, AND IT'S A BARNFIND 1969 GT 500 SHELBY MUSTANG

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office.

contrast and compare an MG with or without a front bumper


The above even has a handcrank cutout.. huh. I had no idea that anything in the 60s (?) had a hand crank option


before and after, done right. Photographed with great accuracy to show the same area of the car really well.







Everyone that is going to restore a car? DO IT JUST LIKE THIS! Lotsa photos, before and after, exactly the same. Amazing

A contrast of 2 MG As... normal and hot rod





Side note, the MG's are the most produced sports car ever.

Speedfest 2012 is here! In San Diego at the Naval Air Station on Coronado Island in the bay, both Saturday and Sunday... here's a quick look at what I saw today








fuel cooler canister in the back seat



 Jeff bought this 1969 Kenworth at age 19, and worked with it for the next 20 years, getting 3 million miles under and behind him... he then converted it with the only stipulations from his wife that it have a toilet and a shower. They're both happy!







This is the only time I've seen scales in the pits... huh!

 Using the El Camino's truck ability to pull their race car!




Looks like the Von Dutch Flying eyeball... Just saying




 Using whatever was available to get some race gas... which costs 10.00 dollars a gallon.



 Buick Centurion?














Above, a Lister, below, a Falcon Sprint



 Lola



A Bluebird. You may have heard of them




Red white and blue racing tape... clever!

Fisker Karma... hybrid 4 door sports car








1959 factory twin cam



















There seems to be twice as many drifters as last year
