these need to get posted... I have been waiting for the right time.

 I came across this in my neighborhood

 Dodge made a 600ES? Huh,  looks like a late 80's Aries K car
 RARE 1981 corvette, a Duntov Turbo edition. Corvettes were just not going to get turbos according to the GM managers


 Off.. a jag that got a nose job, and looks worse, from http://parkoffka.ru/ who has a lot of great content, but NEVER add a credit to their posts to tell you where they got the stuff they post. I don't like that
 I think the above Ford truck was from one of my favorite Brazilian websites, it's a South American Ford crew cab and maybe not even a pick up bed.

one of 3 Corvettes of Briggs Cunningham's LeMans team of 1960, they won first in class with this trio







 how about this gauge cluster... why not make them this way from the factory? it's what the racers wanted, and isn't it what a sports car owner wants too?


 Anyone know about this unusual speedometer? With a clock on the inside... I don't recall ever seeing a 70mph speedometer before in a sports car, ditto ever seeing a speedometer with a clock in it. I've seen tachs and clock combos... anyway, odd gauge, if you know what the info on it is, please share. jbohjkl@yahoo.com







 cool little light to illuminate the car number
 Patina on the lettering.


Below is what another of the trio looked like. Thought you'd like to compare them.

The Corvette row was long and had a remarkable number of Vettes.. more than the Porsche or Mercedes owners rows
