Ich find's auch cool, obwohl das mehr so'n Hot Rod und Custom Ding ist. Auf Muscles erwartet man immer irgendwie Cragars, TTs oder Slotmags.
In HH fährt seit ewig ein Forwardlooker auf Chrome Steelies, sieht echt gut aus.
der sieht echt schick aus obwohl er rot ist

Leider ohne Mopar...
dafür finde ich die Sting Ray die Härte
Now here is something guaranteed to blow your mind. If you can believe it, they once had auto racing on Red House Lake. Starting in February of 1964, up until the late 1980's, automobiles once raced on a frozen Red House Lake. The ice had to be a minimum of 6 inches thick. Vehicles were entered based on various classifications.This immensely popular event was held each February and would attract nearly 100 participants. Anyone could enter these auto ice races, which involved driving on top of the frozen Lake, within an orange pylon marked 1/4 of a mile course, in the shortest time possible. Cars would race one at a time. The starting point of each race was at the far right side of the Red House Lake Beach. Vehicles would then make one complete circle around the cement diving platform area. They would then follow the course marked by bright orange pylon cones around the island, near the Lake Boathouse rental building, where that was the finish line. Winners of each class, of each race would receive NOT huge cash prizes, but a trophy in the shape of a realistic looking block of ice. Inside of each artificial block of ice trophy. was a hot-wheels toy car or a matchbox toy car. It was not cutthroat competition. Just good, clean old fashion entertaining fun. The reason this great event ended was the number of participants became fewer and mostly Liability. The "Allegheny Valley Sports Car Association" was the organization that came up with the concept of racing on the Lake, when they organized the first event on February 23,1964 and ran it till 1978. Then the "4 Wheel Drive Club of Bradford,PA." took over running this popular attraction. Then it was "the Bradford Kruisers" and last of all, "the Kinzua Kruisers" sponsored these auto ice races until they ended in the late 80's. The Amazing thing about this is that the cars that raced on the frozen Red House Lake were not junkers or jalopies, but just the opposite. Cars such as Corvette Stingrays (as shown in photo above), GTOs, BMWs, Saabs, Opels, Mustangs, Corvairs, VolksWagons, station wagons, & pick up trucks, were entered in these races. But the most amazing fact, something I'm sure people reading this were curious about... No, NOT A SINGLE VEHICLE EVER SANK THROUGH THE ICE!!!!!! -

This was taken in Buffalo Wyoming in 1973. The car is a 1967 Pontiac Tempest, I was 14 when this photo was taken. My Twin Brother and I would be given this Car for $1 in about 3 years after this trip.
Notice strapped to the front is an Elks Antler. We found that somewhere out west while exploring. When We went to Yellowstone National Park the Rangers wouldn't let us in until we disposed of the antler so We left it in a field near the park entrance. Sure Wish We had taken that back home to Michigan.
My Brother and I learned a lot about working on cars with that old Pontiac. Swapped Transmissions and Motors in that, And More Mufflers and U Joints then I can count. Not to mention all the Cruising We did!
Wie geil sind die Rad/Felgen Kombination(hinten und vorne!), Schmutzdackerl und die Sidepipes am Gremlin!!! Also einen Gremlin X würde ich sofort fahren... Mit Abstand für mich der coolste aus all den Bildern in deinem Post - hammermäßig!

When American Graffiti came out in the UK a lot of folks who owned American cars in the London area went to see the movie, supposedly when they came out they realised how many other people owned such cars, thereupon the Battersea Cruise was born. I took these photos around 1979 (long before I got an American car of my own).
