The pimp juice says it all and the herding dag only makes it better.

The background looks like a roof rack or ladder rack.

Some Googling turns up that it's 502 Chev and a pile of nitrous.

I might think something is up if what pulls up next to me is sporting 12" wide rear tires...

The LaCarrera Panamerica racer? Years ago I read an article about Pikes Peak in Autoweek and it had a rear-quarter picture of that car. I've been wanting a '49 Caddy fastback coupe ever since. I'm imagining a killer pro-touring build.

That truck is unholy! The engine burns not petrol, but tortured souls, and it's lubricated with the tears of baby seals!

In reply to Ranger50:

Yes. Had not noticed the exhaust in the first picture.

This is the way to do a sleeper. A Mk III Escort base model with Escort cossie running gear. It's even on steelies.

Well, if we're gonna play that game, how about one that corners, too?

See it in action...

Sure, the numbers aren't anything special now, but this was 1971...

Hot Rod had an article about the car in the Dec '11 issue if you want to see what it looks like underneath..
