Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: speedwell on May 14, 2009, 20:12:45 pm sorry guys , never seen before
but i will start scanning the 85 ->90 magazines may be i will found something , and will post ;) fabs Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: TexasTom on May 15, 2009, 21:54:40 pm Looks similar to a car run back in the early '90s by the Canales Brothers here in Texas. Back then, that car was called "Sliced".
I'll see if I have a photo or two I can scan. Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: speedwell on May 15, 2009, 22:28:37 pm not sure it was the same car ::)
Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: cal-look 56 on May 16, 2009, 00:11:26 am Not the same car. Sliced has no drip rails and the other car does. Similiar chop though.
Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: bill stipe on May 16, 2009, 01:37:01 am Talked to the seller........said he bought it to possibly build a rat rod out of it but never got around to doing it.
According to the seller.......it's an ex Cali car, named after the Footloose movie that came out in 84. It has a dropped tubing front axle, he said front suspension was coil-overs like the simple buggy ones (not on the car) unlike the early cars that had sprint car type torsion bar with small shocks. hood is not the original one on the car when he bought it (seems it took a hike when towing down the highway). Title: Re: old race car purhaps? Post by: speedwell on May 16, 2009, 21:59:43 pm similar but no ;D
