1992 and 2007! 8) Title: Re: 15 years later... Post by: Jim Ratto on August 27, 2008, 22:07:42 pm Very cool Stephan.
I always liked Art's muffler configuration in that top picture. Art's car was the best kept secret for a long time..... It was a rare treat to see any publication of the car, back with the 1956cc (?) motor, and that cool muffler... Title: Re: 15 years later... Post by: Diederick/DVK on August 27, 2008, 22:13:21 pm very very cool car! cool to see the similarities too.
looks like he got rid of the popouts too! what do you mean about the muffler, jim? is not a regular turbo muffler? Title: Re: 15 years later...

I am wondering if Ron went from long haired young guy of the late 60s/early 70s to "Old Guy" in a blink of an eye? (I can say Old Guy because I am one too) Title: Re: 15 years later...
