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



found on http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=k0rdem8317u8nl330ji7usq3a7&topic=8309.15 and Ron Lathrop, and http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=14660.75

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

I love before and after photos, and am sorry that I didn't get a good front photo... there were a lot of people and lousy





one of the trickest coolest things on this car were the hood pin cables. Yeah, I'm geeked about some odd stuff

 These are genius details... why hasn't anyone ever done leather hood pin cable covers before?


Here is a photo fo the 55 Chrysler station wagon that JF Kustoms did 4 years ago... it shocked everyone... it's that good. It was in the Car Crazy corral in front of SEMA in 2009 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/entire-outdoors-at-sema-lot-to-look.html


It also put JF at the top of the custom car builder world, and earned him the Trendsetter of the Year Award by Goodguys for 2008. In 2006 Chip Foose awarded him the Design Excellance Award at the Grand National Roadster Show.
