Protpuring Rambler spotted on the net sweet

[LowBuckX]

I have no info on this car but it looks sweet. A work in progress.

That gives new meaning to the term "Flying Brick"!!
It appeals to me in the same way the Dodge Magnum does. Big, bulky, and brutish! Of course in the Ramblers case its' not so big.

I think that was in the article about the top project cars currently under construction in Hot Rod a couple months back. Cool, different car, nonetheless.

it uses a toyota celica roof, i think the guy wanted to the the car compleeted minus the paint for like $7000 or somthing. its a real buget car

That car belongs to my buddy Mark.
If my memory serves me right, its a 59 nash with a celica roof and a mustang drive train.He's a designer from Chrysler.Where was the picture taken? Bakers?

The more I look at that Nash, the smoother it looks. I'm sure it will look even better with paint. He screwed up on the drivetrain though. It should have an early hemi in it. Maybe a Donovan(?) 417 .
Chris, does Mark have any before/during pictures you can post?
Ken

[c.schulz]

I dont myself.Ill see if I can get some if your interested.He just lives a few miles from me.

That's the IMSA "look" from the late '70s, but I'm guessing most of you youngsters weren't around for that.

[MrQuick]

[Rick Dorion]

I'll respond as soon as I find my glasses that I put out of arm's reach.

Where's the keyboard!

[Kenova]

Any body remember Car Craft's "Yellow Banana" project??? You know, that yellow Corvette!!!

[OLDFLM]

Or the Aero Camaro???

[OHCbird]

We had a neighbor that had his Olds Starfire (re: Vega) done up like that. His glasswork wasn't pretty, but the chassis was incredible. Not many guys in Detroit (my hometown) 'got' that look- we were all stuck on muscle cars.

Oh wait- we still are!

I just wish the real IMSA would come back...and the real CART, and a Trans-Am series that was a bit closer to the real thing.

Oh wait- that's called SCCA these days!

[Bill Howell]

I guess I have to get in on the old man stuff. How many of you have ever sat in the infield(road course) section of Daytona for the 24 hour race and listened to the sweet sound of GTP cars (1985-1991) shifting those staight cut gears? I promise there is not a sound like it.A.J.Folt was a master at it and would make the same shifts at the same point lap after lap after lap...... I guess you had to be there!
These were not street cars but would still look modern today-12 years later. I believe the front runner was a Porche 962. Anyway all that talk about IMSA reminded me about this.

[OHCbird]

Bill-

Might you be refering to the Miller Beer 962 of Derek Bell? I love the old GTP cars- the Porsches, Nissans, Kudzu Mazdas, etc.

[Bill Howell]

Derek's 962 was certainly one of the ones I was talking about.Mario Andretti and son drove one acouple year also. Remember the89 & 90 toyotas? They had their own sound and man were they fast.After two laps they were already lapping the slower cars.
