1912Staver 1,244 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Now that's a great photo! Nicest of all of the " small" { < 40 H.P. } American sports cars. Mind you I could have a 35 H.P. Staver roadster built from scratch cheaper than what a 35J sells for these days. Greg Edited July 26, 2020 by 1912Staver (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

George Cole 685 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Let's up the ante by about 50 years to a period I remember as a teenager. Who wasn't a fan of TV Tommy Ivo? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

She answered the door when we rang the bell. Then she sent us out to the "shop". WOW! Engines everywhere and the body of the "BOUNTY HUNTER" Mustang funny car sitting on the snow. We got to help Mr. Kalitta work on his funny car engine. We were amazed that we got to meet either one of them. We were 17 years old and it was in about 1969. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
George Cole 685 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm green with envy. She sure was proud of those gams. Unless she was wearing a racing suit, she was almost always wearing short-shorts. Link to post Share on other sites

I was doubly surprised when she answered the door. Sorry about the hijacking.... Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I was there they had one of Shirley Muldowney's dragsters and the Little Red Wagon on display as well. Link to post Share on other sites
