ah, dammit, it's October.

That means another
season all but over and
nothing to look forward to but
cold, damp weather, salt on
the roads and the festive
jollity of Christmas. Easter
suddenly seems a very, very
long way away.
But still, it seems to have been
a terrifically good season. I've
said it in plenty of the show
reports we've run over the
summer (and there are more to
come) but there seems to have
been a long overdue upswing in
enthusiasm for many of
these events. The Hot
Rod Drags in midSeptember see
page 53 was a
case in point.
This has always
been a popular
event, and you
get the impression
that many of the
event's hardcore fans
would be there if the
weather forecast suggested
that there'd be two feet of snow
and a hurricane over the
weekend. And yet this year,
the buzz leading up to the
event and the rave reviews
afterwards went above and
beyond just a 'good show' vibe.
Long may it continue.
That was just an example.
Plenty of other events generated
the same sort of excitement and
enthusiasm, helped along by
social media and some glorious
weather in early summer. It was
a real kick up the backside to

anyone who is dithering over

whether they can take the time
off work, or whether they can
justify spending the petrol
money, or whether they really
should be gallivanting off to
shows or races when the hedge
is so direly in need of trimming.
The answer is yes, of course
you can, and if you can't, then
what the hell do you own that
car for? Just to fill the empty
space in your garage? You've
now got all winter to chuff about
with your privet.
Maybe this renewed
enthusiasm is a sign of the
economic recovery
we've been waiting so
long for? And not a
moment too soon.
Although I've also
noticed that some
events are being
left behind in the
enthusiasm stakes,
perhaps because of a
'been there, done that'
attitude from showgoers, or
perhaps because the organisers
have an 'ain't broken, so not
gonna fix it' mentality. Either
way, some events that, on paper,
have all the right ingredients
seem to be suffering from a
distinct lack of vitality. Why?
Well, that's another item on the
agenda for over winter

Of course, there are several
important winter events the

Check out the newest 2015 Mustang from UBB its going twin-turbo!
In Magnetic Grey with ebony
leather/Alcantara seats and handstitched Alcantara dash, it comes
with all the toys, including touch
entry, remote start, coil-over
suspension, laser jammers (sorry,
parking sensors!) and remote
window opening a handy tool
if youre in California, so you can

let the heat out before you get in.
However, while Roush and Saleen
are sticking with superchargers.
UBB is looking at the twin Garrett
set-up to give 750bhp and will
have a kit ready for the righthookers next year.
Ooh La La
UBB are also looking at a

shooting brake estate version
with either the 750bhp turbo V8
or a 450bhp version of the 2.3
Ecoboost. These can be built in
the USA to order. There are still
2014 UBB Widowmakers with
1,000bhp available. While were
at it, check out boss Tims 2013

5.0 auto in flourescent green
the only one in this colour,
apparently. UBB Supercars have
a shop in Detroit, right next
door to the Ford Racing plant,
so see www.ubbsupercars.com
for details.
Red Mist?
Nope, Red Vapor, the latest
special edition of the already
rather special Jeep Grand
Cherokee SRT, which also made
its European debut in Paris. Note
the 20-inch five-spoke blackchrome Goliath wheels, glossy
black badges and other goodies.

One of the stars of the recent Paris Motor Show was the
Ford Mustang, now officially ready for sale early next
year across Europe.
Well, the bits of it that drive on
the right, obviously; the rest of us
will have to wait a while longer.
Itll be available as a fastback

or convertible, and with the 2.3
EcoBoost or the 5.0 V8 motor.
The new Mustang is one of the
most hotly anticipated cars ever,
we are very excited to now give
drivers in Europe the opportunity
to experience the real thing, said
Roelant de Waard, Vice President,
Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford
of Europe.
As we mentioned some months ago, one of ACMs

regular contributors, Martin Drakie Drake, suffered a
broken shoulder at Shakey County earlier this year.
Were sad to report that, months
down the line after several
surgeries, Martin will be hanging
up his press pass and dayglo
tabard for the last time. After
10 years of covering hundreds
of shows and racing events for
www.drakies-americans.co.uk,
the end has come, though the
website will remain and Martin
will still be clicking away but with
a slower pace and slower subject
matter! Thanks for everything,

Drakie, and hope the recovery is
going well.

Motley Mopar Monkeys
This was the New York

Stock Exchange in midOctober, when FCA (Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles)
began trading.
This happened a few weeks
after Chrysler instigated a recall
of around 350,000 Chargers,
Magnums, 300s, Commanders
and Grand Cherokees from the
2008 model year for the current
favourite, ignition switch problems.
In excess of 33,000 of these
vehicles are outside the US. Its a
pre-emptive recall as with other
cases, its mainly down to owners
storing a hundredweight of other
junk on their key ring.
Dodge are holding an evening made in heaven for modern Mopar-loving old rockers
the Dodge Rocks Gas Monkey car show, to be held on November 1st at Richard
Rawlings Gas Monkey Live restaurant and concert venue in Dallas.
Open to owners of late-model
Chargers, Challengers and Vipers,
therell be Viper drift cars, Hellcat
thrill rides and loads of fun and
games and the whole Dodge and
SRT line-up on display. And therell
be live music, too, from none other
than Motley Crue, as part of their
Dodge-sponsored farewell tour.

Motley Crue, Richard Rawlings,
Gas Monkey Live and Dodge

themselves, said Tim Kuniskis,
President and CEO, Dodge and
SRT Brands. Put all four together
with a full day celebration of
Dodges 100th anniversary and

youve got an event that will not
only make the Dodge brothers
proud, but also will be something
that Dodge enthusiasts talk
about for years. See www.

just wish that you were there.
High Horse
The mighty 707bhp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has
just been given an EPA highway fuel economy rating of
22mpg for the TorqueFlite auto version, and 21mpg for
the six-speed manual.
As you might imagine, Dodge
SRT are particularly smug
about this, pointing out that
the Lamborghini Aventador

Roadster, which boasts a mere

700bhp, can only achieve a
rating of 18mpg yet costs around

The exterior has also undergone
a redesign to offer a fresh
interpretation of the classic vehicle

may not be the prime concern
of someone shopping for a vast

it has a fizzog only a mother could

SRT Motorsports won the 2014 IMSA Tudor United

Sports Car Championship GTLM driver and team
championship at the season-ending Petit Le Mans 10hour endurance race at Road Atlanta in early October.
Kuno Wittmer captured the
driver championship after a third
place finish with co-drivers Marc
Goossens and Ryan Hunter-Reay
in the #91 Dodge Viper GTS-R.
The #93 Viper of Bomarito,
Farnbacher and Bell finished sixth
to bring SRT Motorsport the team
honours, and SRT second place in
the manufacturer championship.
So how has Chrysler rewarded
the team that have brought
Viper its first title in 10 years? By

they are discontinuing the SRT

Motorsports programme in IMSA
in order to redirect its focus and
efforts on the [Dodge] brands

THIS MONTHS RACING AND TRACK NEWS
Elapsed Times
Santa Pods James Forster summarises a superb season.
Its been another incredible year

of highs and lows at Santa Pod
with some blistering times and
gob-smacking incidents. As usual
with this fickle sport, you simply
could not in your wildest dreams
have imagined some of the sights
we have seen this year.
The lifestyle events here at
Santa Pod throughout the year
have been blessed, generally,
with some pretty good weather
but the core National Drag Racing
Championships suffered all the
way up until the European Finals
without completing a cycle of
eliminations here at Santa Pod,
though after the weekend we
had at the Euros many will say

it was well worth the wait! Chris
Andrews became the first British
driver to run in the three-second
zone in Top Fuel, Andy Robinson
finally broke into the fives in
Pro Mod (where the top four all
qualified in the five-second zone)
and Gareth Ellis put in a stellar
performance and took his first
event win in Top Methanol Funny
Car. A memorable weekend all
round for the Brits.
For many though, 2014 will
be remembered as the year the
kids really stepped up. So many
of the championship classes,
both National and European, can
now be found heavily populated

with junior dragster graduates.
Scott Hauser once again sewed
up the Super Pro ET National
Championship where he was
joined by a whole host of exjuniors; Jayne Kaye put in her first
runs in the Altered and it was great
to see Pete Walters getting straight
into the fives with Dave Wilsons
Top Methanol Dragster. But
who can forget that courageous
young girl from Ireland, Gabrielle
McDonald, who has jumped
straight out of a junior dragster
and into a Top Fuel car, somehow
making the gigantic step up
appear seamless as she acquired
her licence with ease.
With the junior dragster class

frequently exceeding 25 racers at
each round and the 2014 Junior
Dragster Champion already
planning a step up, who knows
where the next big force in your
race class will come from? If
you and your child want to be
successful in drag racing, you
could do worse than sticking
them in a Junior for a couple
of seasons. Those who have
stepped up are already proving
that the class teaches you great
race craft and as they qualify on
reaction times, they dont turn
out bad on the tree either. Watch
out drag racers, the youngsters
are coming
The Sportsman
Shakespeare Countys Jerry Cookson looks back at a super-successful Hot Rod Drags.
This years NSRA Hot Rod Drags

must go down in the record
books as the busiest ever. Right
from the moment the gates
opened hordes of hot rods and
Yanks came flooding through the
pay booth. I dont think it ever
stopped until late Friday night.

track news.indd 1
Looking at the pits and the

campsite I dont think there
was a blade of grass to be seen
between each tent. The pits was
more like a whos-who of drag
racing and hot rodding with
teams from the Supercharged
Outlaws and Outlaw Anglias all
neatly lined up like a national
event! The Gasser Circus was
even more intense with some
fantastic vehicles all looking to
entertain the anticipated crowd.
It was also pleasing to see the
Flathead Meltdown racers back
after several excursions to the
beaches and hills under the Vintage
Hot Rod Association banner.

Entertainment value at this

with no two cars looking the
same. Even the Heritage Stock
Cars and the nostalgia drag bikes
didnt look out of place with their
Sixties and Seventies coachwork,
snarling V8 motors and nitrofuelled classic British Norton and
Triumph engines. Im running out
of superlatives now but Saturday
evenings Cacklefest and fire
burnouts just simply rocked
along with the fireworks. I dont
know how many cars we had
but the line-up was almost up to
the eighth!
Highlights for me include
Andy Hadfields storming
burnouts and runs with the
street-legal Twister Model T
resulting in several on the
bottle seven-second passes.
It was also a pleasure to push
the button on Neil Townsons
seven-second 500ci KB-powered
Northern Spirit 32 Supercharged
Outlaw. The Anglias were in
scintillating form, as ever,
providing the crowd with some
colourful burnouts as well as onthe-edge runs particularly from

three-peat champion Cliff Griffin.
But we owe massive thanks
to all the rod and Yank owners
who made this years drags one
of the best, if not THE best in
its 26-year history under the
National Street Rod Association
banner. So, how are we going to
capitalise on all this action and
entertainment for next years
Drags? Well youll just have to
wait and see on September 11th13th, 2015. If you cant wait that
long then youll have to grab a
copy of the HRD DVD for winter
viewing! See you at the drags.

Alex Peters takes his cover-car Mustang to the Brighton Speed Trials.
Following the disintegration of

my brake disc at the Woodbridge
sprint, I had a lot of work to do to
get the car ready. With the help of
Steeda in the UK and US, Wilwood
very kindly supplied new front
brake discs and pads, whilst I
purchased a new set of rears. I
also fitted new wheel hubs just
in case they had been damaged.
Steeda provided new front lower
control arms, which are much
more robust than the OEM parts
and give me a great deal of
confidence.
Toyo Tires very kindly agreed
to sponsor the Mustang just
before the Brighton event and
supplied a new set of Proxes
R888s just in time for the race.
I have only been able to get
one event out of my previous
worn set of R888s this year and
that produced two class wins at
Blyton (beating most of the field
including TVRs, Lotus 340Rs and
Ferrari 430s!), so I am confident
they will help provide more good
results this season.
The parts only turned up
in the week before Brighton,
so Mike and Kev at Redline
American Muscle of Aylesford
had to work very hard to get
the car ready, also including
an MOT and service. Other
complications included changing
the exhaust back to the freeflowing SLP Loudmouth to get
the full 573bhp, compared with
the more restrictive but quieter
BBK Varitune adjustables that I
needed to pass noise restrictions
at Goodwood and Crystal Palace.
Redline also noticed that a

breather pipe attached to the
supercharger plenum chamber
was not made of sufficiently
strong rubber, so collapsed under
vacuum. Replacing this pipe
made a noticeable difference to
the power output!
On race day I was parked
alongside my old friend and
on-track rival, Graham Pryme.
At Grahams suggestion I had
softened my suspension settings
(Compression/Rebound -3/-3 front
and -9/-9 rear) but left my tyres at
their normal race setting of 32psi.
I had learned a lesson at Debden
in 2013 that although lower tyre
pressures increased grip and, in
that case, significantly reduced
understeer, the penalty in
increased drag meant that I was
slower overall. I had found that
lowering the rear spring heights
of the new KW competition
suspension as far as possible
almost completely eliminated
understeer; however, the front
wheels were rubbing against the
arch liners under heavy braking
so the front springs were raised
by an inch, which improved
handling even further.
It was great to see my friend
and mentor Jason Andrews at the
event in his 66 Mustang, the first
time I had seen the car on track. It
made a fantastic sound! I have to
thank Jason for all of the success
I have had to date in sprinting. His
coaching to drive the car like a
bank robbery getaway has really
suited my driving style and made
me much quicker.
On the first practice run,

Graham put down a time of
13.26 seconds against my 13.37.
I had never drag raced before,
only circuits and sprints, and
realised the massive importance
of getting a good start. On the
second run (which was important
as it decided the placings for the
speed league) I managed a 13.27
while Graham didnt do so well
with a 13.75. This makes me fifth
in class by my calculations.
I compared my performance
figures at Brighton with the

summary of all members on
the Mustang Owners Club GB
website and was interested to
see that although my ET of 13.27
seconds put me in the lowest
25% of cars, the finishing speed
of 114mph puts me in the top
25%. I conclude that this is due to
the very poor potholed surface,
which gave little grip and a lot of
wheelspin off the line compared
with drag strips like Santa Pod.
Graham had softened his
tyres and suspension settings
on his Porsche GT3. I noted that,
despite our best ETs only being
one hundredth of a second
apart, Graham had a much better
60 foot time (2.21 seconds v
2.55) but with a much lower
terminal speed (104mph v 114).
Ultimately though, Graham has
earned the right to look smug
by beating me again! Talking of
smugness, I took great personal
satisfaction in beating Joe Eagle
in his Lamborghini Aventador
he made a right mess of the
complex launch control and
stuttered off the line to record
the slowest time in the class!
Overall, beating benchmark
cars such as the Ferrari 430 and
Porsche 911 GT3, I feel it was
a good performance. I would
like to be the first to offer my
congratulations to Jeff Wiltshire
who clinched the Speed League
championship win from me in
second place with his class win
at Brighton.

Dear ACM,
Since purchasing your excellent magazine I have fervently read your
articles and get a buzz from the enthusiasm that is portrayed from your
providers. Up to now I do NOT have ownership of my dream car (a
GT500) but the nearest I can come to driving my dream car are the
driving experiences. The latest one was my Christmas present bought
by my wife and kids. I attended Brands Hatch for my driving experience
(Thursday July 10th, 2014) intending to drive the Sixties 'Stangs BUT I
negotiated a drive in Classic American Muscle's 2005 white GT500 auto.
Whilst reading October's edition I noticed the very same car in the
background of one of your articles, on page 25 of Alex Peters'
convertible feature, in Redline's workshop. It reminded me of how
exciting it was to have been given the chance to drive the car of my
dreams but with the added bonus of a great driving instructor (Will) and
a wet track. Well, what more could a Mustang nut want from the day?
The instructor quickly brought it to my attention that this car on a wet
track could be a widow maker! Nothing like grabbing your attention
prior to driving your ultimate American car for the first time!
I was only on the Indy track for three laps but the GT500 did not
disappoint. During the drive Will told me he would introduce me to the
wet line (I thought, "What's he on about?") and sure enough it made
sense after he placed me nearer the grass and just about on the black
stu. To add even more to my drive Will informed me that a Corvette
was attempting to overtake us and insisted this would not happen. Sure
enough the instructor
coached me around
the bends and
allowed me to go flat
out down the
straights. This is the
second year I've been
on a race track, last
year's being
Goodwood, and I
would like to stress to
anyone who has not
taken the plunge to
get it booked. It's not
cheap but it keeps the dream alive while I save my hard-earned money
to buy a little bit of American motoring history.

ince I was old enough to focus,

cars were what I wanted to look
at. My formative years were full
of Matchbox cars and Top Trumps,
later replaced by Scalextric and Street
Machine, and all leading up to the day
when I could finally get out on the
road. My 17th birthday also hosted my
first (official) driving lesson, and within
a few weeks my test was passed and
I've never looked back.
The whole driving licence rite of
passage was so monumentally crucial
to me that, even now, if somebody
says to me, Oh, I don't drive, I tend to
double take as if they've just told me
they're actually an alien and that limb
of theirs I've just shaken isn't actually
their hand. What?! How can you not
drive? Of all the people I know, well in
excess of 90% have a driving licence

hardly surprising, given the

automotive-based social circles I move
in. So, when I heard the story of Jon
Leonard, a tattooist from Bristol, and
his '69 Dart Swinger I was intrigued!
I only started driving a couple of
years ago, says Jon. Passing my
test was just something I wanted
to do before I was 40. I got my
provisional licence when I was 17 and
living in Doncaster, but then I became
an apprentice welder. The factory
was only round the corner and
hardly paid anything, so I just got
used to not driving.
I've loved American cars since I was
a lad, watching the Dukes of Hazzard
and such on the TV. I wanted a Charger
in orange, though I'd seen a six-pack
Dart 340 on eBay, also in orange, but I
couldn't aord it. It was the first one I'd
Jon describes
the Dart as "the
poor man's
Charger" and

proportions

see why! Being

seen in months, and it HAD to be

orange! Then this one came up on
eBay three weeks later. I'd been out on
Sunday night, celebrating having
passed my theory test, came home
drunk and pressed 'buy it now'! I woke
up on the Monday morning knowing
that I'd bought something oooh, 'eck,
it's a car! I had to go to the bank that
morning and ask for a loan so I could
pay the guy, and I hadn't even passed
my driving test yet.
It was owned by an older guy called
Dave in Rochester, New York. He grew
up with cars like this, and he'd seen a
'67 Coronet he really wanted so the
Dart had to go. It was a 340 four-barrel
Swinger, and an original V2 orange car.
Fortunately, the bank lent me the
money and before I knew it the car
was on a boat.

The company who brought it in for

me are called ShipMyCar, and I asked
them to get it registered and road
ready so I could just come and collect
it. They collected it from the docks, got
it all roadworthy, sorted out the lights
and a charging issue it was having, and
I went to collect it from them at their
base in Milton Keynes. This was in
2010 I'd passed my driving test in the
September, and went to pick the car up
in December. It was cold, minus five
degrees with snow on the ground, the
car had no heater and I'd never driven
left-hand drive or a V8 before. I'd gone
in at the deep end! I thought I'd take
the long way home to try to get used
to it, so I went up the M1, across the M6
and M42 and back down to Bristol, by

which time I was freezing cold and
there was ice on the inside of the
windows. I dropped it o at the storage
place I'd rented and left it there for a
couple of days.
After a day or two, a closer
inspection showed that while it wasn't
a shed, it wasn't great and needed a
few odd jobs. The interior was great
but the doors were misaligned, the
bumpers were painted silver not
chromed, the engine bay was untidy
and the electrics were a mess. I got
introduced to Lee at Central Garage
in Kingswood, and he seemed very
keen, so I dropped it off to him.
He went through all the mechanics,

and got Roy the auto electrician in

who rewired the car using a period
wiring diagram so it's all correctly
colour coded.
Then, about two years ago, the
engine packed up. I'd gone along to
the Ace Cafe for one of their American
car meets, just to look around, then
went on to the Chelsea Cruise. The
next day, on the way home, it got hot
and the big end bearings started
rattling. I spoke to Dave Billadeau who
told me that when it got hot 'the oil
turned to p*ss' and ruined the
bearings, so I took the engine to him
and he rebuilt it to mild stock trim,
about 310-320bhp, with motorway
mileage in mind.
It's a driver, not a show car,

and it gets used
Since then I've fitted all new trim,

bumpers, badges, wheels, a new
radiator and so much else. The original
three-spoke plastic steering wheel was
all cracked, so I fitted a three-spoke
woodgrain one, along with a new dash
top and gauges, and new armrests. I
also had the radio rebuilt so it picks up
UK radio stations as opposed to
picking up absolutely nothing.
Then I finally got my own garage at
home, but shortly afterwards I put a
scrape down the car while pulling out
of it. I'd been recommended Peel's
Motorkraft, not far away, so I called
and spoke to Matt Peel, and took the
car down to show him. I showed him
the scrape, but I told him the paint was
a bit flat and mis-matched, and some

of the panel gaps were way out. He
arranged a full respray and fitting the
vinyl roof, which it would have had
originally. I'd been saving to get all
these jobs done next year, but the
scrape brought everything forwards
and I thought it was better if I got all
the jobs done in one hit then it would
be finished and I could draw a line
under it, but it never quite works out
like that, does it?
Over the last few weeks I've been
talking to Dave Billadeau about more
engine work to pep the motor up a bit.
He's been telling me all about a stroker
340 that he built that now runs mid12s. I've never had my car on a drag

hood would be a good thing, and a lot
of fun, I'd imagine! In stock form it
should run 14s. The auto 'box already

It's such good fun to drive, it really
puts a smile on my face every time I
drive it. It's not what I imagined it'd be
I thought it'd be just a big car, but it's
so much more. Its fun, always tinkering
and maintaining it's more than a car,
it's a hobby, a pastime. There's just no
comparison between classics and
modern cars, they're amazing. And it's
a keeper, I'll never get rid of it,
although I've been asked a few times.

I ended up with this car.
I've just done a 500-mile round trip
to Fort Paull for the YANCS show. It was
the last weekend in September, it was
my birthday, and it fell on a Sunday so I
wasn't working. I like doing something
on my birthday and thought I'd drive
to a show, so I checked the calendar to
see what was on and picked YANCS. It
did the trip eortlessly, though it was
slightly pricey on fuel, but that's
exactly what I wanted to be able to do
with the car. It's a driver, not a show
car, and it gets used. Peels worked
wonders on it, they really know their
stu and they're a good, friendly
bunch. I've picked up a couple of

stonechips in it now, and I never trailer
it unless it's broken down.

so many out there to choose from.
And I'd still have to keep my Dart.
The reason I bought a Dart is because
I couldn't aord a Charger. I did
actually bid on a General Lee replica,
but the seller told me to stop
bidding because he wouldn't ship it to
the UK. I'm glad I didn't get the
Charger as then I wouldn't have my
Dart. The Dart is like a poor man's
Charger anyway... ACM

nyone who follows Sportsman

drag racing in the UK can't
have failed to spot husbandand-wife team Carla Pittau and Rick
McCann in Pro ET. Carla's red early
second gen Camaro, Heaven And Hell,
and Rick's sky blue third gen Camaro,
Heaven And Hell As Well, have become
almost as well-known for their 45degree wheels-up launches as they
have for their winning ways. In fact, in
the past 12 years they've taken the Pro
ET championship title five times
between them.
These two absolutely live and
breathe drag racing, but how does one
go about contracting such a serious
disease? This car can take a good
proportion of the blame...
Rick and I were in California for
three weeks' holiday back in 1989,
says Carla. We'd got a little Japanese
compact rental car, and after three
days we absolutely hated it with a
vengeance. It was like driving a
photocopier. We had this crazy idea of
buying an old wreck, then selling it for
$100 at the end of the holiday, or just
abandoning it at the side of the road.
We found this 1970 Pontiac Catalina
30
ACM
and bought it for $650. It was partly in

primer and looked very sorry for itself,
but it was a proper big American boat,
way better than Toshiba the
photocopier.
We had a few problems, starting
with the fact that it wouldn't pass its
California smog test. Apparently the
previous owners should have done
this test before they sold it to us, but
we didn't realise this, and we didn't
know much about cars back then. We
paid a mechanic to get it through the
test, and it turned out that all he did
was retard the timing! This made it run
hot, and that evening we set o to
meet some friends in Sacramento for
dinner. The exhaust was so close to the
boot floor it fried all of our luggage,
melted the rear light lenses which then
dropped out, and then the fuse blew
leaving us at the side of the road at
night! A truck driver stopped to help
us, went under the car with a wire coat
hanger and re-hung the exhaust, reset
the timing for us by ear and o we
went, with tin foil chocolate wrapper in
the fuse holder... We got to Sacramento
at midnight, to find our friends asleep
at the table in the restaurant.
The body is
almost totally
stock, except for a
spot of rear arch
massaging to get
those big tyres to
t (above). Pro
Stars look the
business (top
right). We've all
seen some awful
indicator
conversions, but
this one looks
pretty damn neat
(centre right).
Pontiac's full-size
styling was a loveit-or-hate-it aair
in the early
Seventies, and
features like this
monster grille
(right) certainly
polarised
opinions. Now we
love it. The
Catalina (far right)
is the forgotten
Pontiac, but
thanks to these
two (right) this
one's pretty
unforgettable
It was a proper
big American boat,
way better than
Toshiba the
photocopier
The next day, we bought new rear

lights from a superb scrapyard. The
whole trip was like that, with lovely
people who stopped to help us for
nothing. We met so many nice people
because of it, we wouldn't sell it, so we
had to bring it home. It got to the UK in
January 1990, we had it resprayed and
that was that. That summer, we took it
along to a RWYB at Santa Pod, but
when we got there Rick found he'd
forgotten his driving licence and said

I'd have to run it! I'd never driven it,
and never drag raced, so Rick gave me
a crash course in startline technique. I
had a run and thought, 'I like this!' I had
four more tries but we were suering
from fuel starvation, so we cured that
problem and by the fifth run I was
hooked. That autumn, I went out and
bought my 1970 Camaro that became
Heaven And Hell.
We cured that problem and by the fth

run I was hooked
ACM

The Catalina had a totally stock

Pontiac 350 engine and two-speed
automatic. A couple of years later, as
we learned a little more, we swapped
the cam and fitted a new manifold and
four-barrel carb. From 1992, the
Camaro was my daily driver, a street
and strip car. We'd drive it to the track,
take the exhausts o, swap the carb
jets and spark plugs, fit the slicks, race
all day, then swap everything back and
drive home. Then, in 1996, I crashed it
at the track and we couldn't get it
home, so we've trailered it ever since.
At that point, the Catalina became my
daily driver. People didnt expect such
a big boat to be so aggressive! It's a big
car, really big, and it handled terribly,
which made it even more fun to drive.
Then the transmission gave up.
The Catalina went on the back
burner for a long time while we were
rebuilding my Camaro, building
engines and so on. Then about three
years ago, we decided it had
languished long enough and we
decided to give her our full attention
and start the build.
We'd acquired bits over the years

to build a big Pontiac engine. We got
a 455 block, bored to 468, and the
crank and pistons, Edelbrock heads
etc, and let them mature in a
cupboard for a few years before
putting them together. On paper, we'd
hoped for 500bhp, and on the dyno
we actually got 512bhp and 565ft.lb. of
torque. It was our most successful
engine yet on the dyno, as every
change we made improved the
performance, but as soon as we put it
in the car it all went wrong.
First, we melted a head gasket. The
head bolt torque on a Pontiac is really
high, it seemed way too much to us,
but the gasket deformation suggested
over-torquing. The other head gasket
was fine, though. We had a little
fountain coming from the exhaust at
our first visit to the track! Cylinder
number eight was full of water, I'm
surprised it didn't hydraulic. We had
the block pressure-tested and it was
perfect, so we went to Cometic
gaskets like we use on the race cars
and so far, so good.

Carla and Rick

apologised
because the
interior isn't
perfect. As if we
could give a
monkey's bum
for perfection
when the car is
this "right". A full
interior on a race
car? Thanks very
much. A full
arsenal of
AutoMeter
gauges are a
necessary
replacement for
the stock dash
with the big
tacho
dominating the
outlook (top

harnesses are a
ne idea, even on
a stock bench
seat! Carla says
that trim parts,
especially for the
interior, are hard
to come by for
what is a
relatively
obscure model.
We think they're
doing pretty
damn well from
where we're
sitting... though
we wish we were

This car originally

came with a 350cube Pontiac
motor and a twospeed TH300
trans - a very rare
poverty-model
option in 1970.
Rather than take
the easy option of
just binning the lot
and tting a big
Chevy, Carla and
Rick have built up
a big-inch
powerhouse
Pontiac that
should haul into
the 11s on
forecourt fuel
while still being
totally streetable.
Note the heatproof
carb spacer
(above) and
electric water
pump (top left).
And power
steering, of course!
She still ran a 12.64 though,

not bad for a 4,200lb car!
First time out was Flame And
Thunder at Santa Pod last year, where
the whole crew was driving. Rick had
built the engine, I'd built the trans,
Dave Buckland and I built the rear end,
Rick and I did the suspension, Colin
Roaf and his daughter Grace rewired it,
Dave's wife Christine helped with the
initial disassembly (cheerfully
described as 'demolition'), painting
under the car, preparation and
catering! We'd had blood, sweat and
tears from the whole team, so we said
thank you by all having a go at Flame
And Thunder. Three of them had never
been up the strip before. Grace was
only 18 then, she's hooked now!
We still have problems with the fuel
boiling in the carburettor, but we need
this to be a proper street car, happy to

idle and happy to sit in traffic. We
improved matters by replacing the
nitrous spray plate with a phenolic
spacer, which seemed to have solved
the problem, but when we took her to
Shakespeare County early this year the
problem was back, added to lots of
wheelspin. She still ran a 12.64 though,
not bad for a 4,200lb car! Yes, she's a
heavy girl. She doesn't officially have a
name, but as the Camaros are Heaven
And Hell and Heaven And Hell As Well,
we thought she should be Heavy As
Hell. We think there's an 11 in there with
good traction. The idea was to run her
in Pro ET (9.0 11.99) it's all about the
racing. You're talking to people who
have no other life!
ACM
33
Our nearest neighbour is a quarter of a mile away

so if we want to visit it'll only take nine seconds...
She's great on the street, and very
enjoyable to drive put your foot
down and she goes like a train. The
body is stock and untouched except
for massaging the rear arches and
wheel wells to fit bigger tyres. It's been
difficult to find trim and interior pieces,
so the interior isn't perfect, but it's ALL
been done by us and there's a lot of
value in it that way. Plus she sounds
brilliant, with a lovely burble. There's
no radio, and I don't think we want one.
She's been my favourite car for many
years. Yes, she has an ugly face but a
lovely bum! We've only seen one other
in the UK, a convertible, at Americana
some years ago. We saw another in
Sweden, but it was a Canadian version
called a Laurentian, I think. I don't
suppose many people would bother
restoring a Catalina, they'd rather have
a Grand Prix.
We will carry on testing and
improving but we just have too much
on at the moment as we're moving to
Sweden next year. Rick wants to race
in NHRA Super Stock over there. We
did our first meet there in 2010, and
loved the track and loved the people.
They have 22 drag strips in Sweden,
and we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great
to live there' Drag racing is the core
of our existence. Plus, property prices
are much, much lower in Sweden so if
we sell our home in London we can
aord to retire and still go drag racing.
We've worked hard all out lives, now
34
ACM
it's time to enjoy it. Our new home in

Sweden is out in the country with a
huge barn and three garages, plus our
nearest neighbour is a quarter of a
mile away so if we want to visit it'll only
take nine seconds...
We'll miss the scene here very
much, of course, so we plan to come
back and race! We've so many good
friends here. For instance, at the
recent National Finals, the fuel pump
on my tow vehicle died the day we
were due to set o. Simon Gough, a
Super Pro ET racer who was already
at Santa Pod for testing, dropped
everything and came to London to
get me and my Camaro. I arrived,
qualified third, and won my first round
pairing but in the pits I found a sixinch nail through the sidewall of my
slick. Another mate who'd been
knocked out in the first round ran
o, took his own wheels o and
brought them back for me. I went
on to win the meeting! You can't
beat people like that. I'd love to set
up a Swedish/English racer
exchange programme.
The Catalina will be coming with
us, of course. She's part of the family
I can't believe we've had her for 25
years, and she was already 19 years
old then. My daily driver is a 1997
Firebird that I bought new, and I think
of that as a modern car. It has 157,000
miles on the clock, and one careful
lady owner... ACM
For a full-size twotonner, this thing

will still get up and
boogie. You can
appreciate Carla's
comments about
the front end
being a face only a
mother could love
(above), but she's
also bang on
about the other
end (right) - yum.
Those tight-tting
sticky Mickeys
help a bit in the
"Oh, dat ass!"
stakes, too
(below). For a car
bought as a cheap
alternative to a
dull rental car a
quarter of a
century ago, it's
come a lot further
than it could have
expected to... and
it's not nished
yet! It may well be
emigrating again
next year. Well,
our loss is
Sweden's gain.
Bon voyage, guys!

Renegade
Master
Its the Jeep thats going to take on the world. Is it up to the job?
Words & Photography: Dave Smith
Jeep arguably conquered the world

with the Allied forces during that
little kerfuffle back in the 1940s. Now
the Renegade, the new, small SUV
from Jeep, as revealed at the Geneva
Motor Show, is going to be the Jeep
that is globally available through the
showrooms rather than at the head of
an invasion/peacekeeping force.
Designed by Jeep engineers in the
US, the Renegade is built in Italy in
step-parent Fiat's Melfi plant right
alongside the Fiat 500X with which it
shares a great deal of architecture. So,
the new Jeep's just a Fiat in a pair of
Timberland hiking boots then, is it?
Well, this is where it all gets a
bit serious. Jeep are definitely

stressing the inherent 'Jeepiness' of
the Renegade, with nary a mention
of Fiat anywhere. The range starts
with the Sport, then goes up via the
Longitude to the fully loaded Limited.
Top of the tree is the Trailhawk version
which, like its older brother Cherokee
Trailhawk, is 'Trail Rated' for the more
serious off-roader. Engine choices start
with the 110bhp 1.6 petrol E-torQ motor
driving the front wheels through a
five-speed manual. Next up is the little
engine that could, the 1.4-litre MultiAir
II, driving the front wheels through
a six-speed manual or six-speed
twin-clutch manual with 140bhp, or
ACM
renegade.indd 37
37
17/10/2014 15:26:16
jeeprenegade
driving all four wheels through the
nine-speed auto with 170bhp. Then
theres the 185bhp 2.4-litre Tigershark
with nine-speed auto driving either
the front or all wheels and with a
low-range option. Diesel-wise there's
a 1.6-litre 120bhp MultiJet II with sixspeed manual and front-wheel drive,
or the 2.0-litre MultiJet II with 120, 140
or 170bhp, all 4x4 and all with manual
or auto with low-range options, though
low-range auto is standard on the
170bhp. You still with us? Good. If you
skimmed that, then just know that the
Hemi is not an option.
Just looking at the fizzog of the
new Renegade should leave you in no
doubt that it's a Jeep. It has the two
round headlamps flanking a seven-slot
grille that's supposed to shout Willys
MB at you though, for some reason, it
put me in mind of a rather p**sed-off
Mini Clubman. The headlamps-andgrille motif appears all over the car in
odd places, just as a reminder that this
is a Jeep.
For the launch, Jeep again invited us
over to Fiat's Balocco proving grounds
38
renegade.indd 38
to put them through their paces. Here,

designers from Jeep in the US were
on hand to tell us about the 'spirit' of
Jeepiness that runs through the car
and how one of the elements that the
designers used for inspiration was
the jerry can that was strapped to the
original Willys Jeep, the tall square

one with an X-shaped cross stamped
into either side. This little motif also
appears all over the car just look at
the rear lamps, for example again
reinforcing the notion that you're in
a Jeep.

So, on a cool, grey, damp and misty

day (very like the one we'd left behind
in the UK) we set off to see whether the
Renegade deserved its Jeep badge. We
started with a 2.0 diesel 4x4 Limited,
and on hoisting yourself in it's clear
that there's plenty of room inside. In
fact, it seemed that there's not a lot
less room in the cabin than there was
in the new Cherokee we tested a few
months ago. It's very comfortable,
very easy to find a happy driving
position, and while it comes with
plenty of toys, the dashboard is clear
and simple and it's not overburdened
with buttons and gadgetry. Visibility
isn't bad, though the A-pillars widen as
they meet the scuttle for some reason,
which slices a chunk out of each side
of the windscreen, and there's a big
box between the rear-view mirror
and screen for no apparent reason,
which would be a complete pain with
overhead traffic lights or road signs.
Oh look, there's one of those little
headlamps-and-grille motifs on it. The
interior dcor is quite funky, almost
self-consciously so, this one having
a brown dash top over a silver-grey

bottom half with orange trim around
the grab-handle and door speaker trim
and... oh yes, there's another of those
headlamps-and-grille motifs.
Setting off, the diesel is well up
to the job of shifting the Renegade,
and while it doesn't feel particularly
weighty it probably is a considerable
lump to heft about. The diesel is
relatively refined, and the manual gear
change is pretty slick for a transverse
motor, and the gearing is lovely on
the road. The test route was varied
between motorway, B-road, narrow
roads through little villages and a
couple of rutted, potholed tracks,
and it took all we could throw at it
without any complaint. It's not quite
as eerily silent as the Cherokee, but
the majority of the noise seemed
to come from the tyres and wind
whispering around those enormous,
almost clumsy-looking mirrors. You
could barge down those tracks,
thundering through the potholes
and the thing would keep straight,
never being pushed off-course, never

making a squeak and never rattling

the occupants' teeth together. Even
out on the damp, greasy tarmac, you
could push this thing through corners
with boy-racerish abandon and it
would look after you. In fact, this little
wide-track machine never once lost its
composure. I was impressed.
Later on, I took out a two-wheel
drive auto with the 1.4 petrol motor. It
was still a Limited, so had most of the
toys, but in terms of dynamics it was
a very different story. Again, on the
road it was capable and comfortable,
with 100mph being a fairly sedate
3,200rpm, but its off-tarmac prowess
wasn't a patch on its four-wheeling
sibling. This is to be expected, without
the sure-footedness of 4x4, but on
the same greasy roads is was far
easier to initiate slip, scrabbling for
grip, and understeer.
Overall, this car surprised me, and
I think what surprised me most was
that it was fun to drive. I don't think of
many new cars as being fun, because
'fun' with a new car seems to begin and
end with a set of novelty eyelashes
from eBay or something equally
cringeworthy. This Renegade actually
felt like it had a bit of character, as if
you could possibly get attached to it.
So is this a Fiat dressed as a Jeep for
Halloween? Possibly, but that's the way
the world is going these days cars
built 'for the North American market'
are an endangered species and
40

that doesn't necessarily mean that it

doesn't deserve its Jeep badge. I think
the hardcore Jeepers will be tough to
win over with the Renegade, but that's
not really the target market. If you
want to go mud-plugging or rockcrawling, you're not going to pick a
Renegade, are you?
That said, Jeep are pushing the
thing on its Jeepiness, showing that
it hasn't lost all its off-road prowess
despite the fact that the market for
this sort of small SUV could probably
care less about going off road. They're
definitely pushing the 'lifestyle' angle,
accompanied by lots of pictures of
the same sort of healthy, smiling,
outdoorsy people that populate the
Wrangler and Cherokee brochures,
because you're not supposed to be
just buying a car; you're supposed
to be buying into the brand ethos.
Buy a Renegade, and feel the sudden
urge to go canoeing or camping in
the wilderness. They're also pushing
the idea of personalisation with a
fair old range of off-the-shelf Mopar
accessories available direct from your
dealership, and not a fake eyelash in
sight. If the price is right, it'll probably
sell on its Tonka-toy looks. I hope it
does. It deserves to.
The Renegade is the first proper
American-Italian collaboration for
Fiat-Chrysler, and is set to go on sale
in more than 100 countries. It has
already been released in Italy, and will
have debuted in a few other European

countries by the time you read this, but
will not be on sale in right-hand drive
in the UK or South Africa (or Slovenia,
for some reason) until next year.
Recommendations? Avoid the limp 1.6
engines, petrol or diesel I'd go for the
2.0 turbo diesel. The leather interior
is lovely, better than the cloth by a
country mile. And definitely go for the
4x4 if you can stretch to it. ACM

What: Sywell Classic Pistons & Props
Where: Sywell Aerodrome, Northampton
When: September 27th, 2014
Theres something in the air at the Sywell Classic. And plenty
on the ground, too.
Words & Photography: Andy Davis
A one-day flying visit (sorry!) to Sywell
meant plenty of ground to cover to
see everything at this busy car-showcum-air-display; there was loads going
on! On the ground, the tarmac taxiway
was turned into an eighth-mile drag
strip complete with Christmas tree.
The crowd was treated to big burnouts
and squirrelly runs by Outlaw Anglias,
bracket racers and the Taz Racing
boys amongst others a good display
organised by UK Street Machines that
gave spectators a real flavour of drag
racing. Later, the track was extended
into a sprint course with a couple of

bends in order to showcase racecars
from the Twenties to the Seventies.
Supercharged Thirties MGs and Rileys,
C-type, E-type and XK120 Jags, Sixties
Le Mans MG Midgets and classic Group
2 rally cars all took to the course as
spectators vied for position behind the
straw bales.
In the air, we had team aerobatics
from the Blades (all ex-Red Arrows
pilots) and Russian Yakovlevs, with
the high spot on Saturday being the
Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire

from the Battle of Britain Memorial

Flight. Sunday apparently featured
mock WWI dog fights between replica
vintage warbirds, including one owned
and flown by Iron Maiden singer Bruce
Dickinson.
Over at the live music marquee,
there was Forties-style swing from
five-piece vocal harmony group Elle
and the Pocket Belles, and a highly
entertaining rockabilly set from the
ever-reliable Houndogs, who knocked
out a catalogue of Fifties classics while
balancing on the stand-up bass and
setting fire to the drum kit like you do!
Weekend visitors also had a Saturday
night party in one of the hangars
featuring (appropriately enough at an
air show) The Dakotas, the Sixties band
of Billy J Kramer fame.
The show field was packed with a

variety of club displays and individual
exhibits, with the Mopar Muscle
Association and NSRA, together with
a host of individual Yank and rod
owners, providing plenty to keep the
American car enthusiast happy. With
time running out, there was no chance
to check out the vintage fair, trade
stalls, fun fair or aviation museum
before hitting the road, just a few
minutes left for a refreshing shandy in
the wood-panelled Art Deco splendour
of the Aviation Hotel bar.
Theres no time to get bored at
Pistons & Props the mix of car
and aircraft activity works well and
the vintage airstrip setting offers a
great atmosphere. Well be back for
sure. ACM

The
Gathering
Its uphill, but not a struggle for the Retro Rides crew.
Right at the close of August, the Retro
Rides Gathering brought together
everything automotive that lives just
outside the mainstream. Cars that
are modern but not new, old but not
necessarily classic, modified but not
hot rods. They don't really have a
definition, other than that they're all
loosely banded together under the title
'retro', and their cool is subjective.
There's a lot of the Wheels Day
vibe about the event, and the very
British surroundings of Shelsley Walsh
hillclimb in Worcestershire were
suddenly overrun with all sorts of odd
machinery from all over the world.

The hillsides were covered with show
cars I would usually say 'show'n'shine'
cars but very few people seemed to be
that bothered about polishing and
nobody seemed to be excluded. The
smattering of American cars and hot
rods were just parked up among the
other punters and got their fair share
of 'wow' and 'cool', especially the
Cadillac hearse that tackled the hill...
Meanwhile, the hillclimb was open
for business, although there was no
timing gear in place so it was just a
chance to blast up the hill for the fun
ACM
show report - retro.indd 47

of it. Many took this opportunity, and

while there was plenty of machinery
suitable for hillclimbing an ex-F1
single seater and an old Group B
Lancia, for example it seemed to
be the drag stars that were putting
in the most effort, including a couple
of V8-powered NSCC competitors
and Sean Rooney's ex-cover car star
1950 Studebaker street rod. Mick
'Wacky' Wilkes was hoping for a timed
run, looking towards the Fastest
Commercial Vehicle record set last
year by a Holden Maloo, but that
wasn't to be. That didn't stop him
giving it bloody hell up the hill, though,
48
to the extent that the clerk of the

course had to tell him to rein it in a bit
and the marshals mentioned that he
was as quick out of the traps as most
single-seaters...
Some of the club stands were pretty
extensive, and filled to capacity, so I
wonder if next year there shouldn't
be an all-comers 'Americans and hot
rods' stand to show this predominantly
younger crowd that there's life in
our side of the retro scene, too. It's
provisionally happening again on
Sunday, August 23rd next year no,
that's not bank holiday weekend. Is
anybody up for it? ACM

57 Varieties
A show for the ever-popular Tri-Chevy seems to have been a long time coming,
but the 57th birthday of the 57 Chevy seems to have provided just the occasion.
Words: Jerry Cookson Photography: Jenny Wren Photography
One of Americas most iconic
automobiles, the 1957 Chevrolet, this
year celebrated its 57th anniversary
since rolling off the General Motors
production lines in Detroit to rave
reviews. Fifty-seven years later that
old 57 keeps chugging along and
turning up in a variety of places the
world over. From Bel Airs to Nomads
and Del Rays, all of these names
played an important pivotal part in the
history of the great 57.
Inspired by previous celebrations,
57@57 was first conceived in February
by Chevy enthusiasts Wendy Strickton
and John Hayfield after various
debates on internet forums and chat
rooms by fellow enthusiasts. The
chosen venue for the celebrations to
take place was Stratford Upon Avons
Shakespeare County Raceway, home to
the NSRAs annual Hot Rod Drags and
Nostalgia Nationals.
Even though theres a drag strip on
hand, the organisers were looking for
a relaxed atmosphere which, over the
two days in mid-September, everyone
certainly got with plenty of mellow
moods and chill out moments.
With plenty of photo opportunities
to savour from on-track photo
calls against the tree to the now
customary line-up of cars across the
drag strip centre line: all 46 of them
from 55s through to what the event
is all about, the 57. There was even a
rumble in the valley when all the cars
were fired up and driven up and down
the strip with much enthusiasm from
50
eager owners to floor the throttle a

few times!
Saturday evening the entertainment
centred round Kennys Bar which
provided the usual alcoholic
beverages, an Indian buffet and music
with Ricky Cool & The In Crowd. The
night ended with a cool Drive-In
movie showing that timeless classic
American Graffiti.
With the shows relaxed atmosphere
there wasnt going to be an array
of presentation trophies except for
one: Jerrys Pick, to be judged and
presented by the raceways manager
Jerry Cookson to the 57 Chevy he
would like most to take home with
him. So, from the 30 or so 57s on the
property, Jerrys Choice found itself
going to Bewdley to the household of
Steve and Sue Storey for their classic
untouched Bel Air. Steve acquired
the car a year ago and has cherished
it every since. Since my love affair
with American cars began in the
mid-Eighties I have always wanted a
57 and when the opportunity arose
to buy this one I just had to have it,
said Steve. And since it drives like a
car from the Fifties then it should look
like a car from the Fifties. This is the
second trophy Steve and Sue have
won with the car; the first came earlier
in the year at the Hatton Country
World gathering for Best In Show.
Heres to the next 50 or so years,
although I did hear that another
anniversary is on the horizon for
the 55! ACM

The Last
Hurrah
When the nostalgia drags season closed in mid-September, it

sure went off with a bang.
Words: Dave Smith Photography: Jeni Long, Dave Smith
You'll have read in this magazine well
before now about the NSRA's Hot Rod
Drags event celebrating its quarter
century, and how it's grown to become
just about the biggest event on the
nostalgia racing calendar. This year,
the event showed just how much
love and support it can muster with a
massive dose of something that can't
be bought enthusiasm.
Even though it happens in midSeptember, there's a feeling of 'the

end of the season' about it. This could
be a bit depressing, but everyone
instead decided to make it a blowout
to remember and the build up of
excitement began online weeks before
the event. When the day finally rolled
around, arrival at teatime on the Friday
would have presented you with a

campsite already crammed full and

the pits, already extended, being only
accessible by application at the NSRA
stand on the entrance road.
The track had been open on Friday
afternoon for the very keen, and
once darkness began to fall the party
atmosphere really started up. The
Straight Aces played to a packed house
in the marquee while Kenny's Bar
was bouncing until well into the early
hours, and there were still barbecue
and bench racing parties happening all
over the pits and campsite.
Despite the over-exertions of
some the night before, Saturday was
pleasant and warm and the track was
opened on time for the early risers. It

was a little slow to start, but soon hit its
stride and the action came thick and
fast in front of grandstands heaving
with spectators. Nobody could have
been disappointed, and despite a
couple of oil-downs and one crash in
which, fortunately, nobody was hurt,
the racing went on all day. As dusk fell,
many of the more serious racecars
lined up on the track for the Cackle,
in front of grandstands even more
packed than they'd been all day, and
with flaming burnouts and fireworks
backing up the noise, it was a supersensory experience that prepared
everyone for another night of revelry!
The Northern
Spirit altered was

Sunday saw more of the same, and
the track was open for all-comers.
Sadly, by mid-afternoon, the monster
truck doing some demos and
passenger runs in the field adjoining
the return road had kicked up a dust
cloud that was blowing onto the track
and making traction marginal for
some of the faster classes, so some
elected to call the day early, but this
was just one of those unforeseeable
problems. As the day tailed off to a
close, with many weary but happy
showgoers heading home throughout
the afternoon, they could reflect on a
truly excellent event to round off the
season. The weather had been great,
the place had been packed and the
atmos superb. My only complaint if

it can be called that is that there
are getting to be so many invited
nostalgia classes (Supercharged
Outlaws, Gasser Circus, Wild Bunch,
Outlaw Anglia etc etc) that the RWYB
side of things seems to be taking a
back seat. On the other hand, if the
crowds packing the grandstand came
to see those classes then they must
be doing something right, and I've
seen plenty of RWYB events where, at
3.30pm, it's the same half dozen cars
running laps... Congratulations to the
NSRA and Shakespeare County crews
for yet another superb event. The
Nostalgia Nationals suddenly seems
an awfully long way away. ACM

Down To
The Wire
The National Finals at Santa Pod, where the years champions

are decided. It all came down to this.
Words: Dave Smith Photography: John Kennedy
Held over the weekend of September
20th and 21st, the National Finals
decided most of the UK's drag racing
championship classes, with a few
records and upsets along the way.
Saturday's qualifying started off a bit
damp and misty, but ended up running
to completion anyway.
Pro Mod is always a favourite for the
ultimate doorslammer class, and with
well over half the field now running
consistent sixes it's a sight to behold.
Andy Robinson in the Camaro, that
had shown five-second form at the
Euro Finals, was still clocking off low
sixes though he had already absolutely
swept the board in the Pro Mod
Championships. In our other favourite
class, TopSpeed's Street Eliminator,
Steve Neimantas's amazing Bentley
was on record-setting form, clocking a
7.41 at 187mph in qualifying.
The Sunday dawned absolutely
beautiful, sunny and cool, ideal for
eliminations. There was an upset in
58
Street Eliminator straight away, as

championship leader Stu Williams
redlit his way out in the first round. If
Jon Webster's Comet won the finals,
he'd take the title from Stu. It got
even more tense in the semis when
Jon beat Andy Bond to face Matthew
Smith in the final, but a shut-off from
Jon handed Matthew's V8-powered
Escort the win and Stu (in his gasp
Toyota Supra!) the title. Andy
Robinson defeated second place man
Rick Garrett 6.2 to 6.4 in the final to
stamp his authority all over Pro Mod.
It's going to be a long, hard wait
over winter for all the hard-working
drivers and crews, but the 2015 season
looks to have plenty of enthusiasm
behind it already. Many thanks to the
track crews, marshals, promoters
and organisers, and well done to
everyone who took part in the 2014
championships. See www.eurodragster.
com for news of developments over
winter and into next season. ACM

Final round, York Raceway, September 21st

Words: Dave Smith Photography: Richard Smith (rdsmith.zenfolio.com), Dave Smith
After a long and very close-fought

season of the ever-popular American
Super Stock, it all came down to the
10th and final round on September 21st
to decide the champion. Father and
son team Chris and Adam Nowak had
a healthy lead but Lee Chiles and Mick
Elsworth could still have snatched the
glory should fate decide to piddle on
Team Nowak's chances.
On a cool and breezy Sunday
morning, though, Adam nailed his
colours to the mast in qualifying, an
11.065 on his 11.06 dial-in showing that
he was not about to be intimidated
and giving him pole position. Another
18 competitors beneath him weren't
going down without a fight, though.
The cool but sunny day and a

crosswind seemed to be putting a
lot of drivers off their swing, and the
first round of eliminations saw plenty
of breakouts. In the first pairing, Kris
Thoburn, who had already been
pushed back in qualifying due to a flat
battery, and Vic Parsons both broke
out, Vic's crime being the lesser to
take the win. Howard Holmes was back
out in his beautiful Dodge Coronet
R/T after a prolonged absence, and
it was out to surprise him he broke
out by two tenths in qualifying, so he
dropped his dial-in by two tenths for
eliminations and promptly blitzed it
by well over six tenths to hand the win
to Sam Carter-Chiles. Plenty to look
out for from Howard next year, I think.

Second place qualifier Joel Kerr in
the Dodge Lancer was on the money
to oust a breaking-out Des Taylor's
SN95 Mustang both of those cars
are currently up for sale, incidentally
while Jon Challenor in the Pro Street
Camaro and Richard Sykes in the swift
Ford Lightning had a really close race,
just one hundredth of a second in it
with the Camaro taking the win. Lee
'Cookie' Chiles and Mick Elsworth,
second and third in the championship,
met each other in this first round,
and both showed why they were
championship material Mick ran a
13.47 on his 13.45 dial-in but Cookie ran
11.98 on his 11.95 dial which, coupled
with a one-tenth swifter reaction,
was enough to put paid to Mick's
championship hopes. Karen Gregory in
the blue Lightning was on the brakes at
the top end against Blackpudlian Paul
Cross in the tremendously handsome
orange Chevelle, but Karen got the win,
while Andy 'Boz' managed an 11.201 on
his 11.20 dial but a better reaction saw
Andy Reynolds' Rodzilla Chevelle take
the win light. Daz Chandler redlit his
chances away against Claire Johnson,
while Mark 'Dirty Harry' Harrison never
made it to the startline, leaving Nigel
Preston to solo the Camaro into the
next round. Adam Nowak also took a
leisurely bye to finish up the first round
of eliminations.
The next round would be another
war of the numbers, beginning with
ACM

Vic Parsons running an 11.351 on an

11.35 dial-in but leaving a cherry on the
tree to gift the win to a breaking-out
Nigel Preston. Jon Challenor pulled a
superb reaction time but Sam CarterChiles drove around him for the win,
and then Cookie broke out against
Andy Reynolds, which all but wrapped
up and put a bow on the championship
for Team Nowak. In fact, Adam sealed it
in the next pairing, beating a breakingout Karen Gregory to put himself
through to the quarter finals, while a
no-show from Joel Kerr allowed Claire
a free pass into the quarters.
The quarter finals started off
interesting 60% of the competitors
were driving GM! This is very unusual
in this Mopar-infested series. It started
badly for GM, though, with Andy
Reynolds redlighting and breaking out
against Sam, though Claire had drawn
the bye and couldn't go wrong. Adam

Nowak managed to break out, too,
running 11.02 on an 11.08 dial, but by
then it didn't matter what he did, he
could have stripped off and streaked
the whole track, he was still overall
champion, and Nigel went through to
the semis.
The semis were now 66% GM and
66% ladies, though Sam getting a bye
into the final meant that the last race
of the day would definitely be 50%
Mopar. Claire, however, managed to
redlight and break out to give Nigel the
other golden ticket.
The final was less tense than
previously, with the title already sewn
up, but the 2013 champion, Sam, wasn't
giving in. She launched her Demon
with a 0.6 reaction and stormed off
down the track. Three and a half
seconds later, Nigel picked the front

Champions Team Nowak!

end up with a 0.5 reaction and set

off after her. The result was a double
breakout, Nigel running 10.11 on his
10.15 dial but Sam, just 0.0042 under
her 13.88 dial, took the win light and
yet another trophy for her collection.
It had been another amazing day's
racing, and a fitting end to another
exciting season of American Super
Stock. Congratulations go out to Adam
and Chris Nowak, 2014 Champions in
their Plymouth Road Runner, well done
gents. Congratulations to everyone
else who took part or just came along
to enjoy the fun. You can bet it'll be
back next year, as strong as ever, with
hopefully some new faces to challenge
the usual suspects, and plenty of
laughs along the way. Stay tuned at

them on Facebook, and let's see you
out there next year! ACM

Outlaw Street
Round 5
Words: Mark Wallington Photography: Dave Smith
What: OS-5 Where: 21st Mopar Euronationals, Santa Pod When: July 25th to 27th
The Mopars has always been and will always be a firm favourite for
Outlaw Street members what V8 petrolhead can't but enjoy three
solid days of wall-to-wall muscle cars and drag-racing banter?
This year's Mopars was, as always, a big turnout for Outlaw
Street with over 40 members in attendance and 25+ cars racing across
the weekend.
OS-62 Doug Harwood was out to play in his newly acquired
Barracuda, spending the weekend hot lapping to get settled into
the car. OS-47 Eric Humphreys in his turbo '69 Firebird and Andrew
Murton in his 540 V8 powered Camaro had some friendly head-tohead racing, which saw some of the closest and best racing of the
weekend between the two muscle cars. We also had OS-61 Linden
Shepperson join for his first 'dial in' of the year, keen to chase down his
Dad's PBs, which means Outlaw Street now has FIVE father-and-son
teams and a total of 10 cars all competing against each other's PBs.
This shows that Outlaw Street has achieved its original aim of bringing
'new blood' into drag racing.
OS-5 and OS-5b were a joint round (meaning the points were
available across the two rounds). This is due to the 'no FWD' entry
rules at the Mopars, and last year we had quite a few FWD cars in the
series. This year we didn't, which meant the extra OS-5b round wasn't
needed. Big thanks from all at Outlaw Street to the track staff and
Mopar crew for making yet another great Euronationals, and we're
already looking forward to 2015's!
At each main points scoring round of the 2014 series the highest points
scorer for the meet will win a prize, the top six at Santa Pod being:
1
OS-21
George Bebikan, Zephyr
224 points
competition at Santa Pod was as close as ever with 0.143 of a second

between the whole top six, Trudy Slater winning with a 0.027 RT.

The Rhythm Riot Weekend at
Camber Sands has been the
traditional season-ending party for
almost two decades and is simply
a must-not-miss fixture for many.
A November event that can draw
thousands of people and hundreds
of classics from across Europe has
got to be pretty special. With a lineup of Fifties legends, the hottest
bands from around the world, floorfilling DJs, huge music venues and
late-nite bars, its a combination
that guarantees a fantastic party,
with three days and nights of
almost non-stop Fifties fun. One
of the highlights of the weekend is
Sunday afternoons drive out, when
hundreds of cars rumble through
the ancient town of Rye, and
gather for an official town centre

reception. Its been described by
many as the best cruise in the UK,
and its certainly an experience you
wont want to miss. You can get full
details and book online at www.

Hot Rod Gallery

Author: Pat Ganahl Published by: CarTech Price: 30
Ah, yet another look back at the
golden heyday of hot rodding. I'm
always slightly wary of any thing
or place that puts too much
emphasis on its glorious
heritage; anything that trades too
much on its past too often points
to a mediocre present and a
dubious future. It's basically
saying We have a sparkling
future behind us. I get a lot of
books crossing my desk, and I
can't remember the last nontechnical one that wasn't about
how great things were in the
Fifties/Sixties/Seventies (delete
as applicable).
Still, in terms of looking back,
this is a fine subject matter, and
written not only by someone who
cares deeply about the subject
but someone who was actually
there. Mr Ganahl is a SoCal dude
who grew up around the rod and
dry lakes scene and has authored
and edited some seminal titles in
his time. However, this is a
gallery, a photo album, and the
majority of the contents are not
his own work. He is the guy that
has gone round all the blokes
that were on the scene from the
beginning and collected all their
photographs, mostly negatives
or transparencies shot by
amateurs, scratched and faded
with age and mistreatment, and
duplicated them. This, don't

forget, from the Thirties onwards,
when a camera was a fair old
piece of equipment, way more
than half a century before
everyone carried a camera built
into the phone in their pocket.
It's a jaw-dropping collection,
chaptered according to era and
location the street, the dry lakes,
the early drag strips, the indoor
shows etc and captioned
according to what is known about
the cars or people involved.
Sometimes, that's absolutely
nothing. Most are black and
white, but some are in that rather
artificial-looking Sixties colour,
and the vast majority have never
been published before. And that's
what makes this title so perfect:
its complete, on-the-ground
authority. From the front cover
pic that looks like a Beach Boys
album cover to a bunch of guys
wearing car club coveralls,
grinning at the camera on their
way to Muroc in 1940, these
are real snapshots of the way it
was in SoCal.
Buy this absorbing hardback
for any hardcore hot rodder this
Christmas and you'll not see or
hear from him or her until at least
December 29th. And next
Christmas, they'll be asking for a
time machine.
The Complete Book of Corvette

Author: Mike Mueller Published by: Motorbooks Price: 35
Wow, this is a chunking great
hardback full o'love for
America's favourite sports car,
and while the world is hardly
short of books about Corvettes,
this one may well have raised
the bar. Mike Mueller is another
guy who's no stranger to
authoring and editing, and this
work is pretty authoritative.
Coee table books full of glossy
photos have their place;
likewise techy books that are
heavy on the numbers and
statistics. This title doesn't only
fall smack in the middle, it also
manages to encompass the
peripheries as well.
This book covers every model
from the development stages
onwards. Yes, it's been published
before, but this is the revised and
updated edition that covers the
last of the C6 and the first of the
68
ACM
C7 well, it has its own title to live

up to! Working in chronological,
model year order, Mueller shows
the progress and evolution of the
Corvette from the six-pot limited
edition sportster of 1953 to the
world-class GT that it is today.
Each model year starts with a
box of bullet-points and some
Top Trumps-style figures, then
the entire tale from factory,
showroom, street and race track
is woven around period
photographs and press pictures
that really colour in the life story
of the GM pet project that
refused to die.
Every Corvette fan needs this
book, and even if you're not
fussed for the plastic fantastic
you'll still enjoy the engrossing
read provided here. It's definitely
high on the gift ideas list for any
petrolhead. Recommended.

1991 GMC Syclone / 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon

GMC, a brand known for dependable trucks, had never seemed to pay much
attention to performance until, suddenly, they hiccuped in 1991 and out
came the Syclone.
Based on the GMC Sonoma/Chevrolet S10 light pick-up, these were actually built
by a third party company and sported a turbocharged V6, 700R4 auto, fourwheel drive, ABS brakes and a skipful of attitude. They were all black, quoted
power output was 280bhp with quarter mile times in the mid-13s straight from
the showroom and original advertising pointed out that 4WD helped it
accomplish frightening performance figures even in the wet. The only thing it
wasn't any good at was carrying a load.
It only lasted for one model year, but was succeeded immediately by an
identically powered Jimmy/Blazer-based SUV called the Typhoon. This was
slightly heavier but had an extra row of seats so you could scare more
passengers witless in one go. It was also available in a choice of colours, though
black was still far and away the most popular, and lasted just two brief model years.
So, are these hyperactive hay haulers a gift from the gods, or just a quick way of meeting yours? We asked
a couple of guys with their fingers on the pulse... Ivan Purchase, Martin Mumford and Shaun Wilson.
The factory wheels which

have dierent oset front to
rear so cannot be swapped
about suer from corrosion
and although they can be
refurbished or replaced (at
least one specialist supplier
in the States oers these)
they don't come cheap.
Likewise the centre caps
fetch a premium price as
they easily became lost one
brand new, in the bag cap
recently made over $1,000
alone! - SW
70
ACM
The interiors suered a bit cracked dash

tops, baggy seats etc but that was typical
of GMs of the period. - MM
The dashboard in the Syclone is shared
only by the Pontiac Sunbird Turbo and the
instruments are notoriously haphazard in
their accuracy. The factory boost gauge was
the least reliable of all, so do not be
surprised to find an aftermarket gauge in
any decent survivor today certainly do not
contemplate tuning one without having
reliable boost information. - SW
When they were brought out, they were a real pocket-rocket so

the first thing people did was blast 'em! Early 4.3s are prone to
blowing head gaskets, but it doesn't seem to be down to the
boost because Astros did the same. Syclones and Typhoons had
upgraded blocks and cranks, but they can be swapped for a
stock 4.3 bottom end so look out. The earliest ones knocked out
the big ends, but later ones seemed to have a tougher crank. - IP
A stock truck will pull a solid 14.7lbs of boost under full
throttle, pinning you firmly in the custom-stitched seats (which
are unique to the vehicle). The boost can be tweaked very easily
but 18lbs is generally considered a safe limit, beyond that you are
in the hands of the gods, and whilst some people claim to have
run up to 23psi without problems, others have some expensive
blueprints
The transmission isn't the toughest,

but they did get thrashed and often were
not well maintained. - IP
They're not particularly heavy, but
check for any slop in the propshafts,
especially at the transfer case end. - MM
The biggest weak link on the vehicle
is the transmission, a TH700R4 fourspeed overdrive automatic, which was
internally similar to the Corvette but in a
Blazer casing. Be warned that the valve
body is totally unique to the Syclone and
not interchangeable with other GM
models. The trans should have a very
firm thump in each up-shift, either at part
or full throttle. Any sign of slippage or
laziness in the change between third and
top is a sure-fire sign that the box will be
toast in a very short time. Almost all
Syclone owners will have a tale of woe
about this symptom, which generally
denotes that the third gear clutch band is
about to expire within the next couple of
hundred miles. GM are said to have rated
the Syclone at 285bhp as that was all the
700R4 gearbox was rated to... although it
is common knowledge that these trucks
were making well over 300bhp when
they left the showroom floor. - SW
shrapnel to show for it. Any attempt to increase the boost should
be met with intelligent safety measures such as ensuring that
you run high-octane unleaded only (our regular unleaded will
work fine in a stock truck, which incidentally will return around
23mpg when driven steadily). Engine mounts are also prone to
breaking (usually through owners winding the revs up against
the brake at the traffic lights boost launching for maximum
eect). Once the left-hand engine mount is on its way out it will
torque twist the motor o its mount under throttle and typically
the fan will cut its way through the radiator hose! The other sideeect is that the front propshaft, which runs perilously close to
the transmission, will begin to foul, quickly cutting its way
through the front joint gaiter. - SW
ACM
71
blueprints
They're quite robust, based on the plentiful

S10, but rust issues usually depend on how
long they've been in the UK. Yes, they're on a
tough separate chassis, but bear in mind
they're all over 20 years old now. - MM
The bodywork cladding is easily broken in parking skirmishes and

again is unique to these vehicles, look for any missing, cracked or
damaged arches or side mouldings they are not easy to replace.
The rest of the bodywork is just your basic Chevy S-10, so even if you
find rust issues there is still a good parts availability. - SW
Conclusion
They're similar to later Lightnings, in that many have been thrashed
and it's very rare we see a stock one. They are pretty robust, though,
and very rapid for a small truck. Pricewise, you can ask anything you
want a white Typhoon on eBay recently went for 9,000, so they're
holding strong money. - IP
There don't seem to be many of these left now, it's all gone very
quiet and there only seem to be a few about. Most were bought as
'toys', and they're not really any good as working trucks, but it's worth
checking anything you're thinking of buying. A lot is reflected in the
mileage and condition, and how much it's been thrashed, as it will have
been! Most have been modified in some way, though they're bloody
fast as standard they were as fast as a Corvette in their day. - MM
In 1991 the GMC Syclone was not only the fastest production pick-up
on the planet, it was also the fastest car that you could buy. Its fourwheel-drive platform, derived largely from the Blazer parts bin, gave it
astounding launch capability for the time (remember that this truck
72
ACM
pre-dated Subaru Imprezas and Mitsubishi EVOs) and with a turbocharged 4.3 litre V6 it could rocket from 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds.
Motor Trend famously put a Ferrari 348 up against the Syclone for a
quarter-mile drag race, with the Syclone winning three out of three.
Numerous celebrities have owned them, and with fewer than 3,000
being made in their one-year production run they had exclusivity from
day one. Twenty-odd years on and that exclusivity is either a damn
good reason to buy yourself a piece of history, or a good reason to
stay clear. Many of the parts that are unique to the Syclone fetch a
serious premium price, so when going to check one out be sure that
you know what you are getting into. The trucks seem to inspire a real
love-hate relationship with their owners they are fantastic to drive
and oer great handling for a Yank pick-up (although the factory did
warn owners not to exceed 500lbs of weight in the pick-up bed) with
acceleration that is still right up there with the supercars even 20
years on. - SW

Last month, we looked at brake discs on a Seventies Jeep. This month, the same Jeeps front bearings.
Grease Is The Word

As often as not, to change a
brake disc you're going to have
to remove the hub. While you're
doing that, it makes sense to
give the bearings a going over,
and down at Wacky Racers, with
the drive flange removed, their
customer's Jeep CJ was looking a
little gummed-up in the bearing
department (1). After tapping
back the locking washer and
removing the centre nut and
washer (2) it was clear that the
bearings could do with repacking
the brown sludge on the stub
axle (3) suggested that water may

have got in there.
So, after thoroughly cleaning
the stub axle and hub (4), it
was time to clean the taper
roller bearings. Many people
will say you should not use
petrol or other solvents to
clean bearings this is because
they leave a residue which can
break down the fresh grease.
Wacky uses a bath of cellulose
thinners (5) which evaporates
quickly, followed by a damn
good blowing-through with
compressed air (6) which leaves

the bearing completely dry and
free from residue.
In this case, the bearing rollers
and races seemed fine so it was
time to get mucky. You can't be
shy about getting your hands
dirty when it comes to regreasing
(7) you need to work it into
every part of the bearing. Then
refit them, tap a new oil seal into
place (8) and remount the hub.
There are different methods of
setting the preload on a wheel
bearing, but a good rule of thumb
is to tighten the centre nut just

enough to remove all the play in
the bearing, but not tight enough
to interfere with the free rotation
of the hub (9).
Then Wacky refitted the drive
flange with a smear of silicone to
keep the water out, used a drop
of thread-lock on the nuts that
attach the flange to the hub (10),
refitted the circlip and, finally,
tapped the bearing cover back in
place (11). A one-brew job? Just
about. Time to brew up and get
on with the other side!

Back to Hauser Racing for the assembly of the scratchbuilt Ford nine-inch this month, the casing.
Hauser Racing have been asked
to build a Ford nine-inch from
scratch, using tough
aftermarket parts, that will drop
into the space vacated by the
customer's original Chevy axle
on four-bars (53), seen here
upside down. This is the sort of
job Geof Hauser and his team
can do in their sleep, but it's far
from straightforward.
First, Stu starts with a brandnew Strange centre section
the part that houses the
dierential and some new
axle tube (54). The centre
section is the toughest
street/strip housing; there's a
'hot rod' version available which
is similar but doesn't have
such broad 'shoulders' between
centre and axle tube and isn't
quite as tough. Here's an
example (55).
76
ACM
Knowing the overall width that

the axle needs to be between the
wheel mounting faces, and
knowing the width of the centre
section itself plus the width of the
end bearing housings (56) and
the width of the brake assembly
to be used, Stu can work out
exactly how long the axle tubes
need to be on either side. The
pinion housing sits dead centre
on the axle, which in turn means
that the di housing is oset, so
one side will be four inches
longer than the other. Once all
the maths has been done, Stu can
use Strange's halfshaft length
calculator (57) and get the
halfshafts ordered.
Using a cut-down thirdmember housing and a special
template that shows the
centreline of the di (58), Stu can
start assembling the axle tubes.

The tube is three-inch
diameter, 6swg wall (192 thou', or
just shy of 5mm) and comes a
fair distance into the centre
section (59). On most factory
axles the tube is held in place
with a simple plug weld
through a hole in the casing, but
this one will be seam-welded in
the meantime, with the tubes at
the correct length to the
centreline, they're just tackwelded in place (60).
Next step is to drill the holes for

the oil filler/breather tube (61),
which is then held in place with a
bolt (62) before Stu TIGs it in
place (63). The same procedure
applies to the oil drain bung (64).
Then, with the wheel bearing
housings on template mandrels
(65), Stu uses a length of solid,
dead-straight bar (66) to do a final
mock-up (67) to check overall
lengths and measurements are
within tolerances.

Now it's time to start on the

suspension brackets. With both
axles mounted on jigs so the
front faces are vertical (68), Stu
starts measuring the locations
for the brackets (69). The
distances between the four-link
mounts are the most critical, and
the Panhard rod bracket on the
old axle was all but useless (70)
it's too long and provides no real
support, as a lot of force works
though this bracket. The four-bar
brackets are laser-cut pieces, and
Stu mocks them up using a setsquare and magnets before
tacking them in place (71). The

angle between the centrelines of
the holes for the four-bar links,
for example, needs to be eight
degrees, so this bracket is within
0.1 degrees of perfect (72). When
they're spot-on, Stu MIGs them in
place (73) and, obviously, these
are critical load-bearing welds so
they have to be pretty damn
good (74). When he comes to do
the other side, he also has to
check each pair of brackets
against the one on the opposite
side as well as checking it against
the vertical.

Then the same procedure

takes place for the coil-over
brackets (75), which are also then
seam-welded (76).
The bar through the centre of
the axle helps keep things
straight while the welding takes
place, as 1,800 degrees F of
welding can pull the whole thing
out of shape. The MIG has to be
cranked up to its maximum, well
over 200A this is not the sort of
job you trust to a shonky little 90amp no-gas. Also note how the
contact patch between bracket
and axle tube is as large as
possible, almost halfway around
the tube.
While it's cooling, Stu runs a
tap down the taper thread of the
drain bung hole to make the plug
sit closer to flush (77). As
standard, they sit a little proud,
just waiting to be knocked on a
speed bump or whatever.
With the axle at nearer room
temperature, the mandrels on
either end of the bar are tight in
the ends of the axle tube, which
means the axle has pulled

slightly and will need
straightening. Loosening the
mandrels shows that the axle
tube and bar are no longer quite
in line (78). It doesn't look like
much, even close up (79), but
any out-of-straight condition
will shorten the life of all the
axle components. It's acceptable
as it is, and factory tolerances
were way higher than that, plus
the axle will bend slightly under
its own weight when fitted
anyway, but Stu's tolerances are
very low indeed...
The technique to cure the
problem is unusual Stu uses
an oxy torch to heat up the
'tight' side of the axle tube at
the di housing end (80). This
really puzzled me, as that side of
the tube will then expand,
making the problem worse!
This is the case, as Stu explains,
but as it cools helped by a damp
rag (81), NOT by quenching
it will contract slightly more than
it expanded.
ACM
79
howto
82
83
As if to illustrate, once the

axle has cooled, the mandrels
slot perfectly into either end of
the axle. I was dumbstruck, but
Stu admits that getting it right
first time is very rare, and he
has often had to spend all day
doing this.
After this, Stu sets about
making a new boxed Panhard rod
bracket out of some stouter steel
(82) and welding it on in the
same attitude as the bracket on
the original nine degrees from
vertical (83). Then it's time to
weld in the all-important bearing
housings (84). This is another
area where it's crucial to weld
them in level and exactly parallel
to each other, otherwise it'll
throw the brake mountings o.
Then, Stu plug-welds the axle
tubes (85), adds a bracket to take
the brake pipe flexi (86), a couple
of smaller brackets to attach the
brake pipes to and a breather
stub (87) and we're done!
86
And here's the end result (88)

a completed casing just ready
for a very thorough cleaning and
painting before being joined up
with the third member, the build
of which we covered in the last
two issues, plus the custom
halfshafts and brakes. It's all new,
and with appropriate care should
put up with whatever the car can
throw at it, and will look
gorgeous into the bargain.
People think that up to 2,500
for a new axle is a lot, says Stu,
but buying second hand and
rebuilding won't be a great deal
cheaper. A lot of second-hand
stu is wrecked, and if you buy a
ready-narrowed axle, the chances
of it being done properly and to
the spec you want are slim. Plus,
with a lot of older dis, many of
the rebuild parts are obsolete.
We always go Truetrac if possible.
We do a lot of work like this,
building up a new nine-inch to a
pattern axle. ACM

TALES FROM THE GARAGES OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON, AND CONTRIBUTE TO, AMERICAN CAR MAGAZINE
Dave Smith, Editor
1990 Ford Mustang LX & 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
Yes, I went and bloody bought
it. I get offered quite a few cars,
and most I will turn down or
otherwise not buy and Ill rarely
give them a second thought. This
one had been gnawing at me
since I first saw it for sale, and
having taken the trip down to
Bristol to view it I couldnt let it
go, so at the end of September I
collected all my pennies together
and returned with a trailer.
The story goes that the owner

had bought the car as he did
regular trips to Hungary. On his
way back from one of these trips,
it had developed a misfire on the
Autobahn and lost power, so he
pulled over, called his recovery
company and had it shipped
home. That was two years ago and
the car hadnt moved from outside
his flat, but fortunately hed left it
in Park with the handbrake off, so
it still rolled easily enough to get it

on the trailer.
Once it got back to the
workshop, the first job was to
hunt the battery. After a brief
search I found it under the back
seat and, oh goody, its one of
those side-terminal ones. They
were only ever fitted to a handful
of GM cars sold in Europe the
Vauxhall Sintra MPV being the
main one so theyre hard to find
and pretty damned expensive.

I put it on charge and despite
the fact that it appears to be the
battery it left the factory with
13 years ago, it still seems to
hold a charge! I also found 46
cents in change under the back
seat. Score! However, the car
only came with one key, and no
fob remotes, so I expect Ill now
have the joys of dealing with a
factory immobiliser...
Kev Carrington, Contributor

1973 Plymouth Duster, 2004 Ford Mustang GT
Hi, everyone. As winter draws
nearer the Duster is enjoying
the garage and the Mustang is
shivering outside, which I am not
happy about, so I am considering
a car port! The Dusters MPG
issue and the inability to spin
the wheels is pointing to the
cam, I think. I have now installed
a tacho and it's clear the cam
doesnt start doing its stuff before
2,500rpm. I have checked on the
road and it is showing around
2,800rpm at 70mph, so that may
be alright. I checked the spark
plugs and they look very clean,
in fact probably a bit lean so its
definitely not the carb, though I
82
our yanks.indd 82
am still thinking about changing

to a Holley for tunability. I have
managed to get hold of the
proper swirly cloud logos for the
back of the stripe and the Duster
logos for the front, so thats
another job done.
The Mustang had a nice steady
drive to Shakespeare County
Raceway last Sunday but only
for the run out and to watch
my son racing. As always, it
drove perfectly and I love those
SLP Loudmouths, the exhaust
sounds awesome! Got to start
my Christmas list for the Duster
now carb, cam, rear seat... Dear
Santa! More on both next month.

Open diffs, spools, lockers what on earth does all that mean?
Before the days of electronic
traction control and all that jazz,
there was one way of improving
your car's traction a locker
or limited-slip diff in your final
drive.
Open Diff
A differential is there to provide

a way for both wheels on a
driven axle to turn at different
speeds relative to each other.
Think of a standard 90-degree
corner when the car goes
around a corner, the outside
wheel has to travel a lot further
than the inside wheel (see image
1). The differential makes this
possible, allowing the outside
wheel to travel faster than the
driven inner wheel. However,
anyone who has ever been
stuck on a muddy showfield
in a car with a standard 'open'
differential will have witnessed
one of the driven wheels
spinning while the other one
sits still and does absolutely
nothing. This is because there is
no direct connection between
them, so once one of the wheels
has broken traction it'll spin
until you die of old age, or until
it miraculously finds traction, or
until you back off and try again.
An open diff is perfectly fine on
a street car in most situations
other than mud or snow, and
is vastly more common than
LSDs. You can usually tell an
open diff by jacking the car up
and turning one of the driven
wheels by hand with the prop
stationary, the opposite wheel
will rotate in the opposite
direction.
Limited-slip Diff
A limited-slip differential
operates like an open diff
in normal use, only locking
up under loss of traction
circumstances. Some will
mechanically 'sense' one wheel
slipping and direct more torque
to the other wheel; others will
lock up harder the greater the
amount of torque provided
from the propshaft a 'torquesensing' diff. Different sorts can
use clutch plates between the
spider gears and the halfshafts,
86
jargonbuster.indd 86
or helical gears in place of the

spider gears, or even a viscous
coupling. With the clutched type,
during cornering, the speed
differential between the inside
and outside wheel overpowers
the clutches and allows the
wheels to rotate at different
speeds, but as you can imagine,
this does take its toll on your
tyres. Jack an LSD or lockerequipped car up and turn one
of the driven wheels and the
opposing wheel should turn in
the same direction at exactly
the same speed. Examples in US
cars include the clutched Eatonbased GM Posi-Traction (2) and
the geared Truetrac (3).
Locking Diff
An automatic locking
differential, or 'locker', is a
limited-slip diff taken a step
further. It effectively locks
both wheels on the driven axle
together, as if they were on
a single, common shaft. This
forces both driven wheels to
turn at exactly the same speed
regardless of the traction (or
lack thereof) at the wheel
although cornering speed
differences should unlock
it. Older versions tended to
make a clicking or rattling
noise in operation that could
get a bit tedious. The Detroit
Locker (4) is a good example
of a proper locking differential.
Other diffs can be locked via a
cable, electromagnets or even
hydraulic pressure, but these are
more often seen in serious 4x4
off-roaders than cars.
Spool
So, basically, a locker diff is

locked until required to be
otherwise, and a geared LSD
is open until required to be
otherwise. A spool is no such
compromise. A spool replaces
the differential and literally locks
the two halfshafts together, so
that 100% of the rotation of the
propshaft is delivered constantly
to both wheels, with absolutely
no discrepancy between them.
It's really only suitable for drag
racing, though they can be used
on the street.

All grinding discs are not created
equal. When it comes to grinding
discs for the old 115mm angle
grinder, I've always assumed that
they were; I have been proven
wrong. I've always kept in stock
some of the cheapo discs that
I've picked up from the local
hardware shop or from
autojumbles, and they've always
done the job despite seeming
to be nothing more than some
sand suspended in chocolate.
They always either clog up or
wear out quickly, but what
choice do I have?
A while ago I got sent some
Sigma Green grinding discs from
American company Rex-Cut.
Wow. When it comes to removing
a lot of metal in a short time
which is exactly what I needed
on the project I was working on
these discs have got the job
licked. They cut through the steel
twice as quickly as a normal
cheapo grinding disc, didn't seem
to build up as much heat as el
cheapo, and wear out at about
half the rate. The 36-grit disc I was

using is no delicate instrument,
though, and I wouldn't want it for
any fine work, but for shaping
tube and grinding down welds it
was perfect.
So what's the problem? Well,
as far as I can tell, there's
nobody stocking them in the UK.
AVAILABLE FROM:
Erm... nowhere, unless
you know better?!
If there was, and the price was

right, I'd give them 10 out of 10.
As it is, it doesn't matter how
good they are if you can't get
hold of them, so they get a six.
But next time you're in the US
with some space in your
luggage, do yourself a favour
and look for Sigma Green discs.

TFrostLiquidWrap
Spray on/peel o paint has
become all the rage of late, with
rubberised paint solutions
becoming a common option for
those looking for a fresh hue to
adorn their cars. Frost has
entered the market with its
simply titled Liquid Wrap, a paint
that can be sprayed on and then,
when the time is right or when a
change is fancied, it can be
peeled o.
We thought wed give it a go by
putting it to the test on one of the
most hard-working parts of the
car the wheels. To apply it, all
we had to do was make sure the
wheel was clean (we washed
them then used a spray-on panel
cleaner). No primer or anything
like that was needed, just a clean
surface. The paint went on
eortlessly, and once wed
learned to be patient with the
application, it went on without
runs or blemishes. We chose
gunmetal grey, that way, if it wore
through or failed in anyway, it
would be easy to spot the silver
wheel peeping through.
After being on the car for three
weeks, racking up over 1,000
miles, were pleased to report
that the wheels still look as good
88
ACM
as they did at first application, if

maybe a little dirtier. The paint
hasnt worn, nor has it faded or
ripped. Were confident it would
last a lot longer.
AVAILABLE FROM:
www.frost.co.uk
In terms of removal, it was a

doddle. Just scratch a little bit
back and then from there you
can pull it o in big sheets,
much like when you put PVA
glue on your hand and let it dry

for a bit (we cant be the only
ones who did that in school?).
Now, while we know youre not
likely to use this product to paint
your entire car, its worth noting
that there is a clear varnish type
available that embodies the
same principles. So, you could
use it to spray the front of the
cars wings and nosecone, then
motor on safe in the knowledge
that youre cheaply and
eectively protecting it from
stone chips and other damage
well worth 7.99 to us. A great
product that could work
wonders to protect your Yank,
but some skill is required.

THANKS:
Back To Life
Last time we were down at

Oxfordshire's Teslayn
Engineering, they had a very
intriguing project on the go.
Outside, and looking very, very
sorry for itself, was a 1968 Ford
Mustang coupe; inside, looking
resplendent, was a brand new
Dynacorn '67 fastback bodyshell.
90
ACM
As you might guess, these two

were about to become one.
The coupe came registered,
taxed and MoTed, says Paul,
proprietor of Teslayn. The
customer wanted to upgrade from
a coupe to a fastback, but the
coupe body was far too rusty to
salvage. It required so many new
Teslayn Engineering,
01869 601028,
www.teslaynengineering.co.uk
panels that it was cheaper and far

easier to start with a brand new
shell, so he opted for a Dynacorn
body. All the donor parts will come
from the coupe, so it's basically a
restoration of all the salvageable
parts and replacement of the nonsalvageable parts. It came with a
289 and auto, so we'll be
rebuilding the 289 as a 300-ish

horsepower mild street motor and
swapping the auto for a Tremec
five-speed manual. The shell is
currently in primer, and by the
time you read this should be
wearing its topcoat of a modern
Mustang blue, with white Shelby
stripes to come.

Use The Force...
Turbocharging is gaining ground with the hot V8
crowd, and this latest product from Forge
Motorsport may be just what you need.
It's an ingenious Intake Pressure Compensation Valve, an engineering
marvel that prevents boost loss across the components of any forced
induction car, allows any specification of dump or diverter valve to
work perfectly, regardless of engine boost levels, and ensures perfect
operation for any diverter valve, irrespective of the spring or
diaphragm rate within it. You want to know how and why? Go to
www.forgemotorsport.co.uk and check it out, as it would easily fill this
section otherwise...

The 2015 Mustang
has only just hit
the streets, but
already the
aftermarket is
filled with parts to
hop them up.
Flying High
Ford's dependable old Flathead V8 was never known
for its high revving, but this could certainly help.
Fidanza have released a lightweight, 6061T6 aluminium flywheel for
1949 to 1953 BBA Flatheads, oering high tensile strength with quicker
throttle response and faster acceleration. Clutch efficiency is improved,
and the steel friction surface is replaceable to save on skimming.
See www.fidanza.com and speak to your engine builder.
Guess what SEMA will be

stued with this year... Anyway,
first stop is this MXP cold air
intake system from Airaid, one for
the 5.0 GT and one for the 2.3
EcoBoost. A one-piece box
fits to the factory cold air
duct, oering 1,300cfm
of air flow through a
choice of filters, while
looking cool with its
Plexiglass lid. See
www.airaid.com and
speak to your importer.
You Can Be Sure...

...of these shells.
Second-gen Camaros have lovely long doors but
they aren't the most rustproof, and tacking a new
skin to a rotten frame just means your door skin
having a good flap while you're driving along. OER
have just released these repro full door shells for
1975 to 1981 Camaros, manufactured to factory specs
to precisely reproduce the shape, contour and fit of
the originals (though we're not sure whether that's
something to boast about). The stamped inner
structure has all the correct mounting holes, and
everything's EDP coated to stave o the rot. See

Get Injected
Edelbrock are making the conversion to EFI easier with
their Universal EFI Sump Fuel Kits.
They provide the high fuel pressure required for EFI engines in vehicles equipped
with low-pressure carburettor fuel systems in a self-contained under-bonnet kit.
They deliver constant fuel pressure, the reservoir is fed from the original lowpressure pump, and it doesn't need a return line. There are two kits, a 58psi and a
49psi kit, and both come with the pump and regulator pre-installed, plus all fitting
hardware, so see www.edelbrock.com for details.
If you've not swapped to EFI yet, consider Edelbrock's fuel-injected E-Street crate
engines. Based on a brand new GM four-bolt 350 block with two-piece rear main
seal, this budget motor delivers up to 338bhp and 389ft.lb. of torque, provides
plenty of vacuum for street use, and is ready to run out of the crate with all the
Edelbrock goodies including E-Street throttle-body-style injection. It even comes
with a 7 tablet PC that connects wirelessly with the ECU for tuning. See the website.
Rollin' Oldies
Crane Cams have been leaders in the
camshaft market since the Fifties, and with
one of the largest cam profile databases in the
known world, chances are they have a cam to
convert your Yank motor to hydraulic roller lifters.
High Five
You know when you're
shopping at an online
speed shop and you end
up buying more than
you bargained for?
Well you can get plenty of hot rod
parts from Summit Racing
Equipment, now including
something to bolt 'em all to!
They're now selling steel United
Pacific '32 Ford five-window
coupe bodies and components.
Did you see the Edelbrock 75th
Anniversary Deuce? That was a
UP body; the first one, in fact. The
stock height shell is officially
licensed by Ford, the panels
stamped on steel dies to replicate
the originals, and its EDP coated
inside and out. It comes with
hardwood inner structure,
latched doors and a hinged deck
lid, though the firewall and dahs
come separately. You can also
choose original or filled roof
and cowl vents. See them at
www.summitracing.com and
prepare to want one.

Roller cams decrease valvetrain friction and wear, and can use profiles
that increase lift without increasing duration, which is great all over the rev
range without valve lash to worry about. There are options for the usual small- and bigblock Fords, Mopars and Chevys, plus fitments for AMC, Ford FE, first- and second-gen
Chrysler Hemis, Oldsmobile and Pontiac engines. See www.summitracing.com for details.
It's A Cinch
Trailering an expensive race car strapped down with a few quid's worth of
Sunday market stall ratchet straps should give you pause for thought.
Check out Mac's Tie-Downs at
www.macstiedowns.com, where they have all the
solutions, such as this Cinch Pack, ideal for cars that
sit low on the trailer, making conventional straps
useless. Rated to 10,000lbs, the kit consists of four
two-inch wide, six-foot long straps that shorten to

just two feet in length, come in a choice of red, blue,
black or yellow, and come in their own duffle bag.
They're available in the UK through Old Hall
Performance at www.oldhallperformance.com

Mount Everfast
Dropping an LS motor into an older muscle car is the quick way to modern performance, and never quicker
than with the new engine mounts from UMI Performance.
The set for the 1968-72 GM A-body lets you drop an LS with LS1 oil pan
straight in, with slotted bolt holes for adjustment and greasable
polyurethane mounts to dampen vibration. The set for 1974-1992 Fbodies and 1978-88 G-bodies let you move the engine up to an inch
rearwards, and work with solid aluminium motor mounts. All are made
from tough 3/16 laser-cut steel, so see www.umiperformance.com for
details. While you're there, check out the weld-in front coil-over brackets
for A-bodies, for that true Pro Touring handling to back up the looks.
Freedom
Of The
Press
Behind The Wheel
Don't bust your

bearings; get a press!
Summit Racing Equipment are making it even easier

to install a tilt column in
This little machine from Clarke

may be a pocket rocket at only
350mm (about 14) between
the uprights, but it delivers four
tonnes of pressure to the ram
without you breaking a sweat.
Made to be mounted to a
bench, it's available from
Machine Mart stores all over
the UK, or see
www.machinemart.co.uk.
Well, almost anything, with an extended range of sizes including 28, 30

and 32 inches from the top of the shroud to the end of the shaft for
floor shifters, and the same plus a 33 incher for column shifters. They
come in your choice of bare, black powdercoat, black chrome
powdercoat or actual chrome, with pre-wired indicator and hazard light
swiches, a billet indicator stalk, and colour-coded wiring to a GM-style
plug. You even get the option of an additional column-mounted ignition
switch and other accessories. See www.summitracing.com for details.
Lower Standards
For arms that are head and shoulders
above the factory pieces for lowered cars,
check out these redesigned rear lower
control arms from BMR Suspension for
2010-on Camaros and Pontiac G8s.
Built from heavy-duty 2 square tube, internally
gusseted and TIG welded with laser-cut mounting
plates and poly bushes, these increase camber
adjustability and cornering stability, reduce suspension
deflection, and all without ruining the ride. They're
shorter than stock to correct the camber on lowered
cars, and now incorporate sway bar mounts for FE3 and
FE4 suspension, too. See www.bmrsuspension.com.
While you're there, check out their new 1.25 lowering
springs for the same car, available in pairs or a full set.

Charlies
ANGELS
Rural Suburban
This month, Charlies found a barn-fresh ground-scraping 1953 GMC Suburban.

Words & Photography: Charlie Lewis
Owner of this fine dime 53
Suburban is Danny Chizzler
Piscitelli who is a local plumber
in Sherwood, Oregon. Danny
has nicknamed his wagon the
Burban Barn Find, and it was
built in two years including all
of its custom fabrications and
boxing and C-notching the
chassis. As for the air suspension,
Slam Specialties was what

Danny chose to use. The install
was done with a good friend
named Bruce Hemshorn who
worked at Vintage Rod Barn. The
engine is an unknown year 350
that puts down a nice, strong
400bhp, while the upgraded
700R4 transmission keeps the
shifts smooth. The exterior paint
is a Kirker Hotrod Black with

a much-needed yellow tinted
set of headlights. Moving on to
the rollers theres a great set of
15-inch Wheel Vintiques wrapped
in Firestone Vintage Bias rubber.
Danny sure gave us the low down
on his Suburban and hard work
does pay off; Danny gets two
thumbs up for this sweet build.

The Waters Edge
Jenny Wren Photography checks out a monthly classic

meet at a gorgeous venue.
Bosworth Water Trust, just
outside Market Bosworth,
holds a classic car meet on the
last Tuesday of every month.
Attending can be as many as
350 classic vehicles from Chevys
and Mustangs, Ford Coupes
through to VW split-screen
campers, a wide diversity of
different kinds of vehicles.
During this visit, a gentleman
brought in a stunning 51 Nash

and continued to inform me
about how he has always
imported American cars and, of
course, his huge love for them.
The Nash was outstanding.
Each of the owners always
has time to stop and chat to you
about their cars and welcome
photographs also. It's a lovely
atmosphere in a beautiful

setting of Bosworth Water with

the backdrop of the lake and
trees beyond. You can enjoy the
vehicles with a beer and bite
to eat from the caf, or like lots
do, turn up with a barbecue or
picnic and enjoy as you watch
the sun set over the water. If you
fancy a great evening out with
like-minded people then there

gallery 2.indd 100
is a nominal charge of 1 for

classic cars and 2 for soaking
up the atmosphere!
You'll find Bosworth Water
near Market Bosworth on the
Warwickshire/Leicestershire
border. The event isn't publicised
as continuing over winter, so see
www.bosworthwatertrust.co.uk
before setting off. ACM

quality and quantity of cool
cars was enough to keep my

hard to single out any
favourites (apart from
a certain Green Duster and
Crimson Red Mustang!) but
there were several stunning
Plymouth Road Runners, a
really cool Chevy Brookwood
wagon with modern V8 and
tons of other stuff. Enjoy the

Muscle Car Corner

Paul Dodd checks out some muscle in the sky as well as on the tarmac.
We had just about got our breath

back after returning triumphant
from the Mopars when, on the
Monday, we were off again,
this time to meet up with
photographer Andy Tipping for
the Three generations photo
shoot for this very magazine.
The Beast was being stored
at my good friend and Pro Mod
racer Rick Garretts farm and he
was kind enough to let the shoot
take place there. Andy was there
for hours and took hundreds of
photos giving our Ed Dave Smith
plenty to choose from, then
during the course of the week
Dave spoke to all three of us,
father, son and grandson, to get
a real feel for the story. I have to
say it was a very proud moment
for me to see all three cars on
the front cover of the September
issue when it landed on the mat a
few weeks later.
The next event for us on the
calendar was the Wings and
Wheels show at Dunsfold and I
was really looking forward to it
as I have an equal passion for
cars and aircraft. The organisers
had invited the Beast and not just
for a static display but with the
chance to drive it down the now
infamous runway as it is part of
the Top Gear test track.
Over the weekend the skies
were filled with the sight and
sound of old warbirds with Merlin
engines aplenty including eight
of them via the two Lancasters
that displayed, but there were
also Spitfires, Hurricanes and
a Mustang all powered by that
famous engine. Then it was time
for the Beast's Merlin engine

to roar into life as the timeslot
came for all manner of vehicles
to have a blast down the runway.
I jumped into the passenger
seat and it just so happened
that when it came to our turn
we found ourselves behind
two Plymouth Superbirds. By
half track we had swallowed
up one of them and passed the
other just before it was time to
start applying the brakes. As
we blasted down that runway it
reminded me of what the Beast is
all about speed! By the time we
started to brake as the runway
was rapidly coming to an end we
were just getting going in top
gear and it felt like we could go
on accelerating forever.
Most people would be happy
with the seemingly unlimited
speed potential of the Beast
but no, not my old man. He is

not happy at all that both the
Olds and the Trans Am, whilst
having an inferior top speed,
are quicker over a quarter of a
mile. We are both in the tens but
the Beast could only muster a
15 at Dragstalgia due in part to
its high gearing it crossed the
finish line in second gear! So, as
I write, the Beast is back in Spain
undergoing various mods in an
attempt to return next year and
take us on. All I can say to that is,
Bring it on Dad, and you have
to admire the man's spirit, that he
should still be up to his old tricks
as he approaches 82 years of
age! I think the reception he and
the car received everywhere we
went has inspired him again.
Back to muscle cars, and the
two winged warriors previously
mentioned were joined by
Don Scott in his Petty-inspired

Superbird on the Sunday. Don's
Hemi-powered 'bird is a bit more
powerful than the two we passed
on the runway but it is about to
get even more serious as the
engine was actually pulled out
today and by the time you read
this it will be in Roger Luty's
workshop undergoing some
power upgrades. Also at the
show were plenty of Mustangs
from old school to new, a pair
of Corvettes, a lovely white
67 Camaro, then what many
consider to be the greatest road
car of all, American muscle
combined with English style, the
AC Cobra. I dont really consider
the Cobra to be a muscle car but
I might change my mind if ever
I were fortunate enough to get
behind the wheel of one with a
427 stuffed under the hood.
