Ace-Garageguy Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Having spent most of my adult life as a hard-core sports-car kinda guy, and having only recently returned to my hot-rod roots, I find I prefer a car that combines the attributes of both: something that brakes and handles as well as it accelerates. Wish I had seen THIS back in 1959 when it was first built... https://carbuzz.com/news/unique-of-the-week-one-off-1959-troy-chevrolet-street-legal-racer Edited March 17, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy
KWT Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Ooooooo... Hubba hubba... That's a nice looking ride.
bbowser Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Judging by the 2 fours sticking out of the hood, in 1959 maybe a 283 or a Ford 312 for an engine? In any event it looks like it would flat haul the mail!

It's an oblique reference to something that was said on the old Newlywed Game many years back (that's been denied, but I've actually seen the clip). Naturally, the meaning is "most definitely", but spellcheck wasn't certain as to the correct spelling of the mispronunciation.
geewhiz Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Yeah buddy, that looks like nothing but pure fun!!!?????????
Psychographic Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 What a great melding of sports car and hot rod! I bet that is a blast to drive on a nice summer day.
espo Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I have to agree on this type of car. In addition to having all the go power it can stop and turn with the best. A some what similar car was offered in the late '50's and early '60's called the BoCar. I remember reading about it in Popular Mechanics Magazine. It was also Chevrolet powered but was intended more for racing.
Lizard Racing Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 It looks a bit like an old Allard or Kurtis venture into hotrod sports cars. Way cool!
