Those were the days....
Now in the USA I'm told by a few on the NSRA forum. Wonder if that is true.
A hot rod in the 70's, what a decade.
Nearly 50 years ago.

Re: Non-Porsche Hot Rod picture of the day
Yes, quite a shock.
I drove right into the back of a Ford actually looking at a nice local girl...
I was young.
That gave me the excuse to rebuild. The whole car with a new box section chassis, new Viva VX 490 front end and theFord Essex V6 and BW auto box.
It was a really nice drive after that lot.
Fill the roof with a roof from a Volvo estate all gas welded into the top.
Lots of other bits including a Mexican blanket upholstery job!
Mrs Hillclimber loved it.
She actually did!
