Here is the Thorleif Corvette before it was sponsored by them. Jan "Juan" Johansson was the man to beat for many years in the Stock class. He usually competed with a L-88 but also had a couple of ZL-1 engines. Beckers paint is the sponsor, and they also sponsored Lawrienco´s Firebird as seen in one of the earlier pics.



The UFO Mustang and another Corvette.



Here is the Jungle Jim chassie with the Opel body in 1976.



Ragnarök also had the shroud over the pipes.

That is actually a perfect translation Bruce !
Best to keep them short, a longer one would be more difficult.

I dont know, The first Corvette he had was a 68 Corvette with a L88 in it (Beckers)

The second was a 69 and he put a ZL1 in it, (Torleifs)
And he had two of them (Thorleifs Corvettes)

The third was a 62 Corvette with a ZL1 engine.

&quot;Norrlandsjeepen&quot; was another one of those &quot;unbeatable&quot; cars. The Eriksson brothers really got that thing going, but there were actually several versions of it over the years.



Another HEMI car. Factory I assume as this was 1976.



And a T/A.
