The Salt 2 Salt Studebaker set some records at Bonneville this year, with an interesting 182 cu in v8

photo from http://www.flickr.com/photos/70716191@N00/sets/72157627367551319/ where they have a gallery of Bonneville photos or go to their home page (the home of the 1953 Studebaker coupe that established the records in: XO/BGC, XO/BFALT, XF/BFALT, XF/BGALT, F/CGALT, and F/CFALT )  for links to many years of Bonneville galleries http://www.salt2salt.hutman.net/

The trick of getting such a small displacement is using a tiny one year only block, and the crank from another model year to get the right numbers.

Images from the annual Santee car show





 I took photos of this Road Runner at Charger Steve's PB annual car show http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/pro-touring-71-gtx.html
 But i didn't see the tail... that painted bumper is sweet, and the little dove tail does a great accent to the rims from this angle



 Pretty cool fro someone to go all out and make get the car they want, paint it the way they want, and let people know what they have a passionate fan love for


 this is one beautiful interior
I took a couple photos of this Fury at the Edelbrock open house this summer http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/mopars-at-edelbrocks-annual-car-show.html
