Hot Rods We've Had

Here are a couple of my past rides.  The Landcruiser was powered by a small block Chevy.  I don't recall what year it was but I had it in the early to mid 70s.  The Cobra was a big block with Nitrous.  Way too much HP for a car that weighed less than 3K.  I owned it in the late 90s.  It was not a kit but was factory built by NAF, I believe in the 80s.  It's original power was a 289 and they were sold as complete cars for a short time.  The body was fiber glass but the frame was square stock steel as opposed to the round stock used in  most kits.

THAT's what I'm talking about!!

That Cobra copy is awesome!  Which big block did it have?
One day when I lived in SoCal I was in my car stopped at a red light under an overpass. My car had loud exhaust but the car that pulled up beside me was deafening as it echoed through the underpass.  The guy driving it was having a hard time keeping it stopped. It would lurch a foot or two every now and again.  It was a Shelby Cobra Super Snake CSX 3303, a super rare — only two were built — twin-supercharger, 900-hp version of the Cobra.   I had seen a write up in the newspaper about Bill Cosby buying one.

I don't know about engine specifics but it was a "side oiler" and it was carburated and had an Edlebrock manifold.  It was just scary fast and traction was really difficult.  The tires we had back then just weren't a grippy as what's available now.  I think it had a 4:11 rear end.  It was a 4 speed and really didn't have much top end but it sure got there fast.

A side oiler would be the 427.

Recently did a 95% restore on a 71 Datsun 240z
Really enjoyed working on it with my son and taking her on weekend drives, but after moving to the cove, the salt was taking a toll on her so decided to put her up for sale. She is now in a collection in England .... Maybe she will visit the queen Lol!!!

You need to get some tennis ball feet on that thing.  What are you, an amateur?

Depending on the fuel used, I imagine that the exhaust from the power unit for that thing does not meet EPA standards.  Or even household standards for that matter.
