great photos on Hellformotors tumblr

You don't need me to tell you it's the Galpin Ford sponsored "Back Up Pick Up" unusual wheelstander, but you can't read that this is Lions in 1971
Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans 1950. Who is Briggs? race car driver and museum owner, and a sports car legend as he was one of the first in the 1950's to go all the way to try and win the European races as an American, like Reventon did after him, and Shelby after Reventon http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-monster-of-briggs-cunningham.html
From the movie "The Quest" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-something-you-really-ought-to.html



http://hellformotors.tumblr.com for many more interesting and variety of wide range photos of race cars

original owner still drives his 1973 Javelin

Repainted once, vinyl top removed and painted white to match the side stripe, it's on it's 3rd power steering pump, 2nd set of back up/brake lights (75 bucks apiece) and 2nd set of rubber bumper guards (75 bucks apiece)







Still has the original hubcaps







When I asked him why he is still driving/owning it, he replied "Nothing wrong with it, why not?!" Damn right, nothing wrong at all with it.

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's


AMC Rebel Machine

Have you seen a car made into a RV? someone really nailed it with this Rambler American in Argentina


This comes from Fosiles Mecanicos blogspot, and for a super easy way to read it (or any website) in your own language, use Google Chrome as a browser (it's a free download) and then you'll have no problem with translation.
I'm going to keep browsing through http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/ because Gabriel is finding cool stuff around his neighborhoods
Am I right about how well they made it look like a RV? It beats the hell out of the ShamRockAway for good looks http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/photos-of-unusual-from-days-gone-by.html

The Rebel Machine is in San Diego! Ebay score out of Tennessee







Jim and Chesters Garage Tumblr has a lot of cool stuff!

An enclosed transporter made from a fire truck, not the first I've seen! Les made one http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/68-ford-transporter-aint-that-cool-i.html

An Edsel racing Baja.. amazing
