I'm the original owner of this Porsche with my girl friend Susie (we later married). We bought it at the Vasek Polak Porsche dealership when it was located in Hermosa Beach in 1973. I would like to contact the current owner, if anyone can let me know. They might appreciate some additional history I can pass on. Susie won the PCA Parade autocross in 1977 in San Diego and I won this event in 1978 in Vail, unofficialy TTOD stock.
Absolutely, they were made to be used, I couldn't just look at that as a display piece, I would be itching to get in it and drive it, or preferably race it. And that sound, wow.
As a teenager in the early '60's I watched, heard and photographed the Maser 300S in real combat at the old Thompson Raceway. No car had a more beautiful appearance and sound on that track in my time. Truly the golden age of sports car racing!
Stunning car... and a great restoration. Maseratis are very hard to work on - with so few produced, all are slightly different, and pose their challenges to the experts.
The over-commercialization is indeed a factor. In my younger years, I spend a fair amount of time at Mid America Raceway and St. Louis International Raceway. The first was a road course and drag strip about 40 miles west of St. Louis deep in farm land. The second was just across the river from St. Louis in a rough area between East St. Louis and Madison, IL along I-70. As such, you could race all you wanted and disturb no one. At MAR, there was a tower and concession stand, along with port-a-potties scattered around. there were some "grandstands" (bleachers) on each side of the start-finish. There were a few water spigots and that was about it. If you wanted to watch anywhere else, you walked and stood along the fence or drove your car to where you could overlook some of it. On much of the track, it was best to bring your own food and drinks, as the walk was too far. Racers had to haul in everything they needed, or it couldn't be found. And anyone with a reasonable job could afford to go racing. Now they are all multi-million dollar facilities with restaurants, clothing shops, air condition boxes, garages for the cars, fuel services, and nice restrooms scattered around. You don't pay for those with $5 a person or $10 a carload races. The old Moroso Motorsports Park/Palm Beach International Raceway is a casualty of this While Dick Moroso had it, were were some concession stands, decent restrooms, bleachers along the first several hundred feet of the drag strip, and people could afford to road race and drag race. After Dick died, another group took over, revamped the track completely, to make it a "world class venue" and in hopes to attract Indy cars, and now they are bust. It has sat unused for about 3 years or more. The same mentality occurs with cars. Someone has the $5000 race car, they can afford to go every month with a $5000 annual budget, and they don't go broke doing it. But it isn't flashy enough, so they buy the much better $50,000 race car, need a $15,000 annual budget to run it competitively, and can't understand how in a couple of years, they have no money at all.
I'm of course also very concerned about car driver violence and fully support heavier regulation, and outright banning of these terror machines off the roads our families travel on. 800hp dragsters off the car lot? ... Shouldn't even be allowed on the roads, just like we can't commute to work in armed F-35's. Same goes for these "grill wars" pickups. You can park an entire kindergarten class in front of these stupid compensator-mobiles and they can't see a single kid. Thank you for exposing the traffic violence.
A beautiful 1970 GTO convertible. BTW a couple of incorrect items are the "455 HO" decals on the front fenders and the air cleaner. The decal under "GTO" on the fenders should read "455 CID" and there should be no decal on the air cleaner lid at all. That decal is correct for the 1971-72 455 HO only.
the classic car SMOG check is crap b/c the largest source of CO2 isnt personal vehicles. Jet Airliners & Marine Shipping. the EPA has already done a great job at cleaning up emissions (even for that 1981 camero). We need less regulation on the individual and more regulation on the actual largest sources of CO2: Jet Airliners & Marine Shipping. When was the last time anyone said, "it's a free country!"
Why is an 8 or 9 year old car considered to be "old as hell and falling apart?" There shouldn't be anything falling apart with an 8 or 9 year old car that is maintained. Maintenance is not difficult or expensive in modern cars.
Car companies want you in a new car every 5 years or less. And they are all trying to figure out how to make it so you don't own your car at all but instead pay a subscription for it every year.
SOMEONE - ANYONE..... PLEASE Help Jay get dressed in the morning!!!!!!! This MULTI Millionaire just has to have a variety wardrobe and NOT just jeans and jean-shirts! He looks horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the guy in the Chevelle punched the throttle, and spun the tires causing him to loose control. My SS Chevelle can still spin the tires at 70MPH or higher.
JFK was elected in 1958 & took office in 1959 & Marilyn Monroe died August 5th, 1962. As for the glass bottle, it has to be either a coolant bottle (because of it's location) or back then, windshield washer bottles were also glass. <<Mark in Ohio>>
Dodge is the innovators of power. The Hemi will never be defamed. This is by far the dumbest video I've seen in a long time. Of course an engine that is electronically fuel injected, plastic parts everywhere and shitty manufacturering from Dodge, Chevy and Ford with today's technology. The craftsmanship is gone. The Demon will blow the doors off any make of Camaro or Mustang striaght out the factory in the same class. I laugh at these fools that are spending over $100000 for a 12 sec car even Demon owners. I bought my Plymouth Scamp for $ 600 she is at 950 at the fly wheel. About 10grand. If you want over a thousand horses buy you an oldie.
Making 1000hp by an independent, aftermarket Hellcat build with no emissions and no durability standard isnt that complicated. Making an OEM reliable for the general public is a different animal altogether. Another angle would be that financially, Dodge has deemed this final edition isnt profitable to invest the time/R&D into when every last Hellcat is selling for over MSRP anyhow and they have wholly dedicated their future to electric on the upper level platform.
