Every one crashed makes the rest a bit more valuable. Attrition is a powerful value adjuster

for my gallery of this car at SEMA; http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/most-of-cars-at-sema-are-impressive.html

So check out the new issue on the magazine rack! Or even better, the website! http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1304_thoroughbred_1964_plymouth_belvedere/

This is one of the best issues in a while if you dig cool cars.

The guys in the Boss Mustangs forum were cool and pointed out the cars above the track curve in the above photo... gt500 Shelby Stang, Porsche, Olds, Falcon, mini, Delivery Van, Plymouth full size, Corvette, 55 Chev, real AC Cobra (no copies back then!) and a Cortina I think... but go down a couple photos and look in the upper right hand corner to see what wasn't captured in the view of the above image... a real GT 40







These Cougars are both owned by Peter Revson, and in 1966 he was racing a GT40 for Essex Wire Co's team with Skip Scott where he helped win the world title for GTcars. Consecutively with the Cougars he was driving a Lola for Dana in Can Am, and a McLaren in USRRC




How about that GT40? Effin cool that someone drove that to watch the races. Serious cool sports cars on the other side of that fence, no one drives cars that cool to watch races anymore. Who can afford the insurance? A Gt500 Shelby Stang, 911 I think, possibly a 427 65 Vette, Shelby 289 Cobra I bet, and a GT40... wow.






above GT500KR









Very interesting that I've never seen the inside of one of these cars when it was racing in the 60's

I learned about this from http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/03/09/four-links-counter-continentals-beverly-hills-kenworth-mckinley-thompson-toyota-timeline/ Dan's Saturday 4 links. Hemmings is lucky to have Dan keeping on top of so many cool things on the web

 to have the rims resemble the Mach 1 rims is very cool




I don't get why this wing was up, but maybe it's to demonstrate that it exists... if it weren't popped, we'd never realize it's there
