Beauty

[Rruuff Day]

I'm thinking back in the day of the 15 cent burger, there may not have been a lot of asphalt around.... I can't see dirt tracking my Corvette but they likely had no choice.... Hey. It's Graham's birthday. He will know... ... @nascar03 Graham! Did they have pavement back in those days?

Great memories there Murray... I had a 69 MK 3 Spitfire and always wanted an early TR. I think your picture is a TR3. Then I wanted a GT6. Never got one of those either. It was the Triumph that convinced me that the British took great pride in building their automobiles one piece at a time. Which explained why you had to disassemble most of the car to get at the most common remove and replace items. Much like the Chinese with their easy to follow, assemble your BBQ directions, I'm also sure the British automotive engineers are laughing every time someone has to change a starter.

Always liked this one Eric. Seems to sum up the cars well. First car was a Austin Healey 3000 with a 327 and a four speed. Miracle I survived it.

The door shows it to be a TR3. The TR2 did not have an exterior door handle.

Sebring 1962….Beauty running with another

SR 2 at Sebring in 1957….

We have seen this one before but from this angle it is indeed a beauty….Is that Duntov behind the wheel?

 

[Black 03 Z06]

This one is very interesting. It was built in 1959 on an SS Corvette Chassis as a new racer when GM's Bill Mitchell instructed Larry Shinoda to develop the car. Any guesses where the next generation styling came from??

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Think this one has seen its share of track time…Like this one a lot

 

[Black 03 Z06]

I was sure there was more room between those two Ferrari racers….Guess not

Hey is that a very early rendition of the Jake Skull??

Drag racer turned land speed record runner….The Salt Flats beautiful place that I really want to see, will even take my bucket so I can stand on it to see a little further….

Something very different with this beauty….Anybody spot it????

 

[Rruuff Day]

Hmmmmm....It's not all original stock but I'm guessing you are looking for something more specific than that Murray....

They sure didn't come with a 409 from the factory! Nice tidy install though.

You have to admit David that big 409 looks right at home in the engine compartment. Good eye.
