Video of the day: '63 Galaxie 427 road racing

I can't imagine piloting a car like this in anger thru race traffic.  Amazing skill.  This is why there is nothing better than a big ole American V8   8)

Nice!

Check out this link of Aussie and English 427 Ford Galaxies in some really big time road racing at historic tracks!

I think dis one is a "bigger bite of the appel" Tom Kristensen a professional race car driver in a -59 T-bird ( NASCAR trim )
Its so fun "to ride along" and you can clearly feel when hi gets "warm in his cloths" and start to thrust the behavior of the car.

There is some other YouTube clips from the same race but from out side of the car that shows how spectaclery this drive really is.
Have fun. 8)

That's literally what my back yard looked like as a kid growing up. Nothing but Fords and Mercs, over 100 of them, ranging from 1936 to 1973. Can't say they were as rust free as those though.

Today's Video; a little switchup. On topic only in the beginning. Yandel is a known Car Phreak, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of his. And hey, old J Lo is holding on pretty OK at almost 49, huh?
