blunc Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I'd guess he's looking over the side of the car to see where the road is...since the hemi and the front of his car is obscuring his view of the track.

Draggon Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I thought of that car as soon as I read the thread title. I love it too, one of my all time favorites. Looks just as good standing still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLMFAA1 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Did Revell do something similar with their Healey kit? greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lectro Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Is that guy asleep? Perhaps the sudden acceleration knocked him unconscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Is that guy asleep? Maybe it's just a little body-English. There doesn't seem to be any other way to steer the thing at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've been meaning to post these pictures. I saw this car at the Mopars at E-town show last August. Imagine having that Torqueflite explode at your feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 And I saw this considerably less powerful version at a local show this summer. It had a 9" rear and a tubular sub-frame. It was "done right". The owner joked about it being a budget Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
