New Car: Transporter

Showing posts with label Transporter. Show all posts

Lots more coverage, so stick around, from the 2010 Grand Natioanl Roadster show to come, here's just a few head turners that caught my attention

If you've seen other cars that Strope's place has worked on, you'll be happy to see another Pure Vision Mopar

This 1956 Fiat transporter was used by Lance Reventlow's Scarabs during the 1960 Grand Prix season http://www.italiaspeed.com/2008/cars/others/events/08/pebble_beach/fiat_transporter/0309.html and then was bought by Carroll Shelby for the Cobra Daytona team cars seen in here http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/shelby-cobras-being-transported.html

El Cid is in a magazine this month, just read the article, and can't recall which magazine

I was paying attention to the light and window reflection on the windshields of these two, and think it turned out well

This sign was the coolest one I found at the show, who ever thought of this is a genius

Above, the Glass Slipper

Above, the only 6 wheel hot rod I can recall, and for sure the only one with military tires!

The Moonliner, love it. I've loved the look of this for many years, posted it in 2006: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/love-mooneyes-stuff.html as it's the cover of the Dean Moon book, and have wondered if it was once painted red, or if this is a different car: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/terrific-photo-of-streamliner-on-salt.html

I'd like to see this Merc with the trunk closed

just below the Rat fink is a flying eyeball

Above are 3 of 4 Mr Norm's vehicles, the new Demon is behind the truck

Very pretty blue, and yes, I love the car too.

very cool banner photo

It's clipped and the rest of the streamliner is on their banner, it's a cool photo

Jay Leno talks to Don Prudhomme about the 70 Hemicuda and transporter

I'm sorry, the videos were pulled by Vimeo or whoever had hosted them

For a photo gallery of Don's hemicuda and transporter that I took at SEMA: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html

I also recommend you take a look at Tere's post, Don invited her to hop inside the hauler as he showed her how it was restored: http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/11/sema-celebrities.html

Don Prudhomme's funny car hauler, 1967 Dodge C-700

Don was hooking up the batteries in order to turn on the radio...

So he could show some people how things worked inside, and then asked my girlfriend http://justakargal.blogspot.com/ to hop up inside and was showing her the radio, a/c and stuff...

To explain why Don bought a 67 truck in 69, I need to tell you that before Don bought it used, it was the hauler for Sox and Martin, and you can see that here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/nikollas-digs-up-coolest-photos-of-drag.html

For a restoration story on the hauler, and a video from inside it where Don drove a couple reporters to lunch: http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/page/10/ just a 1/4 of the way down the page, since the direct links don't work

For a photo of Tom McEwens "Mongoose" dragster funny car hauler: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-aV7vxf-k-vfzpz_HM8iO_u2zxTLNCSC-kq7xs_kiobeYY8Mh7ZdyHomY-OIaXgt8wbQKPSdRajH3y0EkAoJk6LeXRZiyF2eVw3iU2TNOvblglMKprn9tL9VVCwALQkQqRxVoBtQMIM/s1600-h/hfmkjg.bmp
