At the strip in the seventies

[COPO_Anders]

I just have to share some of the pics I have. Most of these were taken by Ingvar Lindén living in Linköping at the nearby track Mantorp Park Raceway. I believe these were taken around 1976.
First a couple of pics of a trike built by Anders Lake in Stockholm, if I remember correctly. I believe I read in a magazine from the seventies that he died young.





And now some Corvettes.



I don´t remember which but one of them, Stampede or Whitchcraft, came to Sweden race-ready. The other one was built here.

And now some HEMI cars !

The Firebird in the background is the one that Nicolai Lawrienco owned and drove. The engine consisted of a RAIV block with a RAV crank in it. With some other special parts on top, like homemade intakes. I think he had a bunch of them. My friend Nova67-Anders has some stories about that engine/car.



The white Charger behind the UFO Mustang is also a factory HEMI car. I believe Jan Suhr has it covered in his book "Scandinavian Muscle Cars".



I think I have an article about this El Camino somewhere but I can´t find it right now.



Last for this time is the Opel Manta FC the way it looked in the summer of 1976. It was soon after destroyed in a fire.

Wow, did someone mold Camaro taillights into the back of the corvette. They actually look good.
