Poser road race corvettes

Anyone remember the Hurst SC/Rambler or Rebel Machine? How about the Mark Donohue Javelin?

Dep, I give up, what WAS the name of their fiberglass sports car???

and yes I remember all them what we called Grunt Rumbler Rebels.....

Meteor, Glasspar, Lancer, Grantham, Victress, LaDawri, Byers, Devin, and others produced beautiful fiberglass bodies and cars. The fiberglass "Specials" built during this era of racing, hot rodding and cruising faded silently into obscurity as mass produced muscle cars quickly overshadowed them.

Studebaker Avanti?? I liked those when I was a kid. Quite ahead of their era with styling.

 

[TimAT]

My step-dad went thru a good number of the Studebakers- Hawks, Golden Hawks= even had a Studie pickup with a -get this- a MANUAL winch wrecker- hook it up and turn the crank.

Wasn't the Cheetah glass? I think the Cobra Daytona Coupe was.

I think it was called a Bricklin. But it wasn't really made by AMC. Just had an AMC engine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1

They also had a two-seater called an AMX. But that was made of metal.

AMC also introduced the Super Stock AMX. To maximize quarter-mile performance the 390 engine was equipped with twin Holley carburetors and 12.3:1 compression-ratio cylinder heads, plus aftermarket Doug’s headers and exhaust system. Hurst Performance carried out several additional modifications.

AMC rated the car at 340 horsepower, but the National Hot Rod Association ultimately rated it at 420 horsepower and shuffled it among various competition classes: SS/G, SS/D, and SS/C. Its best recorded quarter-mile was 10.73 seconds at 128 mph.

The car could be ordered painted all white, or in the vertical bands of red, white, and blue that distinguished numerous AMC competition cars of the day. Base price was $5,994, some $1,900 more than a fully loaded regular 1969 AMX. There was no factory warranty.

Years ago, a buddy who was a upper lever executive in the Moon church (searious) had a AMX drove it to work every day.....had a farm out in W. Va. drove to McLean/Arlington type area every day.....Moon had this office building right next door to...get this......MARS the candy company....another serious fact......Moon and MARS next door to each other.....tell me there ain't a God laughing his/her ass off somewhere, you just can't make this **** up.....no way....

The Bricklin, I believe, was aluminum bodied. Made in Ireland, by a famous auto-related man whose name I can't think off at the moment. We would all recognize it. He got busted with pounds of cocaine he was selling to finance the company......
A buddy of mine in Idaho had a Bricklin a few years ago. Highly modified, with a 460" Ford motor among many other things, he used it for hillclimbing. Sold it to a collector in Nevada or Arizona

John DeLorean?

 

[JPhil]

Jeez! You're right---Delorean, not Bricklin. I got them confused, sorry. (But my friend Hog did build a hot rod Bricklin)

The DeLorean, I believe, was stainless steel bodied. Made in Ireland, by a famous auto-related man whose name I can't think off at the moment. We would all recognize it. He got busted with pounds of cocaine he was selling to finance the company......

Powered by a Fiat engine, if you see one painted, it has been wrecked and repaired. The MOP was to replace panels, since they could not be repaired.

 

[mrvette]

I know you think this is BS, but when DeLorean went down, a uncle of my next door neighbor at the time, made a deal with them to own outright ALL the parts and supplies in the world for those cars.....

dunno how it worked out....gave the house to the ex in the divorce and lost contact with them.....

:chinese:

Update...more No-Go Showboats are popping up at CF. I had the audacity to ask one owner what he was gonna do with it. It had no bumpers so it was illegal for street use in most locations. The roll bar was a bolt-in "show bar", so most sports car tracks and drag strips won't approve of that. The owner said he might try a 1/4 mile track. I assumed he meant the strip, so I told him be prepared to get squashed there. He didn't post any engine pics so no idea what he did to it. But if he passed the safety checks (doubtful), and had a heavily modded engine, he'd be classed in something where strip-built cars would dominate. And since he set it up as a sports car clone, performance would be ******.

Anyway, a bunch of the nitwit kiddies who were drooling over the pretty decals and JC Whitney parts got insulted and said I was "bashing" it. I simply wanted to know what it was built for. Heck, if the guy said a "wax and shiner", that would have been cool and I would have left. But he kept doing the duck and dodge. Someone must have reported my embarassing questions to a mod. Because ALL my posts were quickly erased. Well we certainly don't want to embarrass the newest No-Go Showboat do we?

Heck, I even gave one guy a big

because I was afraid he was gonna burst into tears about my queations. Even the hug didn't work.

 

[Yellow73SB]

At least my poser can drive on a track....kind of

Brakes need a little more work

My flares will be from a "poser" car guy, his sticker will also be. Hes actually a very nice guy

 

[MYBAD79]

Damn Chris ......cutting up the doors on that '73 requires some good size ballz ....

:thumbs:

 

[DJ Dep]

Nice to see a REAL roll cage!!! :smash:

Nice to see a REAL roll cage!!! :smash:

And here's to hoping that it never gets tested!

BTW Chris...where's the pics of your pop's '66?

As far as no go is concerned, I would be willing to bet that the 540 that is in that car,would blow the doors off of anything you own ,if in fact you do own anything aside from your sherriff's badge. Well do you???? Let's see some pics of your awesome fast corvette!!!!!! And as far as knowing how someone else's car would perform anywhere without you actualy looking at the car, you xxx a complete xxxxx for even making those assumptions.( any normal person would agree with that). How can you know so much about something you have never seen?????? Why dont you put your $$$ where your mouth is and show us all how great you are by doing something worth while instead of talking out your xxx???? You are not as witty as you think you are. As a matter of fact, you are not a joker, but a joke. You know what a joke is???? Someone who talks xxxx about things that he could never accomplish him self. If you had the ability to take a car from scrap, do all the work your self and end up with a high quality car, then you can talk. If you have accomplished this already then SHOW US!!!!!! Then we can respect your opinion. If not , you are just a waste of internet Oxygen, sitting in your computer chair. A TRUE WANNABE in every sense of the word.Take care sherriff!!!! Why dont you go arrest internet MORONS such xxxxxxxxx????? You can identify them real easy. ! I think you are more POSER than any of those guys. You pretend that you know about things, you know nothing about. ISNT THAT A POSER????? I think it is.

I'll try to get the 66 tomorrow, it's pretty nice, my dad used to cruise ebay for NOS parts and has put on quite a few, really the only thing left is new window vent chrome, his is a little pitted, not bad at all though.

For the most part you can tell how a car will perform by looking at it, if you are familiar with that model

MY POINT EXACTLY.

 

[MYBAD79]

No balls here

I can't find any for $60...... no ballz and no luck ..... :crap:

 

[MYBAD79]

And on a serious note: leave that CF talk at CF.

Dep's posts have been deleted over there so obviously nobody can go and read what was said and from what I can see on this page it seems that it's not worth being repeated here.....
