Ford hot rod



Awesome looking hot rod!! Everything from the color to the wheels and stance is absolutely spot on! It was for sale recently on eBay but didnt reach the reserve. Definitively one of those cars that I would buy in a second!

Roadster with Viper V-10



Viper engined Roadster circa 1994. Don’t have any info on this car. Saw it when I was living in Rochester NY and the One Lap of America people had their finishing party there. They gathered all the cars that finished downtown, which of course brought out all the local hot rodders, and I snapped this shot.

If I remember right this was supposed to be a limited production car. Anybody have any idea what it is?

Cadillac Sedanette series 61 1949



I remember seeing one when I was in college in Melbourne, Florida and being completely awe struck by it. It was just like this one except a nice burgundy color. Next ride in my garage for sure!

GMC “Twin Six” V12 hot rod



What a sweet idea! Definitively dont see many (any?) hot rod builds that use a Twin Six.

GMC produced a large gasoline V12 from 1960 to 1965 for trucks It was basically GMC's large-capacity truck 351 V6, doubled, with four rocker covers and four exhaust manifolds. Fifty-six major parts are interchangeable between the Twin-Six and all other GMC V6 engines to provide greater parts availability and standardization. It has 702 cu in (11.50 L), and while power was not too impressive at 250 hp (190 kW) for such a big engine, torque was 585 lb·ft (793 N·m). For firetrucks the revs waere increased to produce 299 hp (223 kW) at 3000 rpm and torque was increased to 630 lb·ft (850 N·m) at 1600-1900 rpm
