Default Old solid axle pictures.

Hey anyone out there have any old pictures of their or other peoples solid axles or mid years. I'ld love to see some old drag racing or car show stuff from the sixties and seventies. I don't care if it's stock or modified, I love them both.

Love the old Grumpy hood scoop. We just picked up a hood w/ the same scoop on it. There aren't too many wheels that look better the slots on an old vette like that. Do you still have the car?Thanks

I still have the car, but it's going to be down for a while. I pitched the scoop; wish I would have kept it.

Shiite, I'm just getting going. I'm surprised Mike lets you stay up this late. Don't y'all have to open the museum early tomorrow ? Those cars must be tough to push around with all the tires flat spotted from never moving.

The first six are mine. The 7th is my friend's 61. The last is for OldDog, only a couple of years old, but it seemed familiar.

















While posting my pictures, I just saw Duntov's picture of the wreck, I Hope no one was seriously hurt or killed.

Here's one that was owned by a guy in our Corvette Club back in the early 80's. I recently inquired about this car from a couple of guys who know the owner. I found out that the car was heavily damaged in a partial fire. Got hot enough to melt some of the resin in the glass and the rear end sagged so it is just about on the floor of the garage. Nice car before that.

Okay, I am good for a few old C1 pics.

The first pic was taken in 1962. Shows the original owner and her 1959 car.

The second pic of the 57 car was taken at Cotati race track in 1968, after an SCCA win.
