    Back in the day we'd have said it looked like he spent a little too much time in the JC Whitney catalog.....

    Oh those were the days. You could buy all the right parts & get a motor that got 101MPG & made a 1000HP. All for a couple hundred bucks. Oh man that iluminated jester hood ornament was to die for. :lol:

    All that bling for the family sedan???? How many 18 1/2 year olds do you know that like to be seen in dad's commuter regardless of the camo? :D (having ridden herd on two 18 1/2 year olds from a series of family sedans)

    Thanks for the nudge on Whitney, I had forgotten.

    At one point in time, you could buy a 1962 Lotus Elite Kit from the Sears Catalog!
    Body, chassis, wiring kit, engine & transmission, the whole thing.
    All you had to do was assemble it.
    Cost was around $1,200.00.

    I always wondered how much it cost to print, ship all the catalogs that they did (JC Whitney).

    Doesn't the rear bumper look MINIesk?

    And is that a "Justa" rear wing?

    Hell.... even the rear tail lights look similar. And are those MINI wheel arch lights?

    Yeah, the first couple I took kept getting the wipers in the pic. So I turned off the wipers and ended up with a rain splattered shot.:incazzato:

    Just finished walking the dog... We're both panting... Man is it a scorcher outside.
    So we (the dog and I), are walking around the local park and I saw this...

    My bad... It was a Saleen Mustang, first one I've seen....:D

    It could have been the heat affecting me....

    The dog splayed out flat in front of our floor fan with her chicken drumstick legs point towards the four points of the compass. Me.... I was rolling a tall neck across my forehead....:D

    Yep. That is a "normal" S281 Saleen Mustang.

    I'm a Mustang guy (stated many times before) but I've never liked these. The way they did the rearend is AWEFUL on good day with bad lighting.

    I forgot about this.....
    I was at one of my buddies businesses yesterday. In his lobby is a very special racing engine.... And here I thought the mini engine was small...
    Yes, I have "normal" size hands... It's a Crosley...
