samdiego Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) It looks like a '64 Chevy Pick-Up rear ended one of Chrysler's '61-'63 letter cars that was carrying cases of Pepto-Bismol in its trunk. Oh and then re-animated by Dr. Frankenrod and then Virgil Exner rose up from the dead and set it ablaze with zombie fire That takes care of Zeb's.

lordairgtar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yas GreggK, that's tha Mecom Hussein 1 - tha Fuel injection racer, care ta take a guess as to who tha Driver is? Ahh over on this side o' tha pond, ifn IRC, a scuttle has something to do with coal....I think it's what they used to call that wee bucket that they used to keep spare coal chunks in. Now how 'bout my Touring UDO? AJ Foyt! This is the first time I ever seen a color pic of the car. Someone told me they were green. I know it was based on the Mecom Lola. Did it have a Dodge engine? or is that rumor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebm1 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Actually no GreggK, it's a Cooper Monaco frame, bought by John Mecom, modded and then he stuffed this monster into it's arse..... above and below, this is a Hussein MK II that tha Indy 500 Museum has in storage....they bring out every now and then..... here's another picture of tha MK I, not sure if this chassis still exists.....this was taken at tha Nassau races..... if you look closely, you can see that tha wheels got changed to Halibrands over tha years. I have read that when this monster went by other race cars at Full song, that tha bow wave would actually move tha other cars over half-a-lane........easy 200 mph monster.......ifn tha straights were long enuff, they used a Hewland 5-speed transaxle. This waz always my most fave Can-Am...built many Hussein slot cars, hard plastic, clear plastic....could run really wide tires underneath that body, with an inlne motor. Oh and my UDO, was actually built by a rather popular car builder......that Hint #3....or is it #4? Edited June 12, 2008 by zebm1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 But it's still A J Foyt as driver, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebm1 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Yah, A.J. and John Mecom lived in tha Same neighborhood...both Texicans......., by tha way GreggK, that blue is also sometimes known as Mecom Blue. John Mecom painted most if not all of his racing venture (cars) that same metallic blue. Painted a Ferrari 250 GTO that same color.....bet that fried sum Ferrari fans nuts...... errr brains Dang, I'ma feeling a another Record about tha be established......
