Default The Old Days

From late 1960s Hot Rod Yearbooks.

Jacked '67 Elco.


Jacked Nova on the prowl.


Nice Nova with straight axle and five-spokes!


Willys gasser with black CA license plates.


Morris Minor with straight axle! Didn't say what the engine was.


Another Brit, this one a Hillman, done the same way!


Altered wheelbase '65 Goat.


'62 Impala done like the Goat. Wheelies anyone?


Detail shot of straight-axled Nova. Budnate, taking notes???


Sold new at the Compton Chevy dealership (Los Angeles).


Grumpy's '67 L78.


Hemi '68 Barracuda with skinny Cragars all around.


Recently departed Mr. Four Speed working his craft.


Staging lanes were full of cool iron back in those days!


Mr. Jenkins and his '68 Camaro between rounds.


Heading down track off-throttle.


Indy Pace/Festival Camaro heading out onto the track. Is that a "Viva Montesa" t-shirt at the back of the Indy car?


Tom McEwen at speed with the slicks trying to come off of rims!


Wild Willie had to push it through the lights to win this event.


Jacked '64 Goat street machine ready to go hunting.


Steve McQueen flogging a dune buggy.


And then having to clean the sand out of the V-dub engine. Nice pants. (He looked cool in anything.)


427 street Cobra at Bonneville. Sunburst wheels. No oil cooler scoop or sidepipes. Scoop added to hood. Non-Shelby roll bar. It probably wanted to do 360s rather than go straight down the black line.
