here's some more Euro trash pics...
The purple cars roofline is lower than my belt line and Im only 5'9. The Porsche was made physically longer with its aero kit to fit into a race class, then up-engined to twin turbo to clean house. The Ferrari rotors are the size of a large pizza. The GTT is a Ford Mustang with a Ford GT rear treatment. The Speedster is a resto-modded 1500 with a 2640cc 914-4 motor and the trailer has VW fenders along with 2 restored Honda 125 'Elsinore' motorcycles. The guy is a well known Porsche resto-mod guys that purist hate because he buys up all the basket case Speedsters and hacks them up to create "Outlaw" classics, that's his custom badge name.

There are a bunch more T/A cars here but they are all Camaros and 65-68 Mustangs although there is one Pontiac , the famous 1964 "Gray Ghost" Tempest with a 306 that in 71, didnt even qualify for position and then only got beat by Mark Donohues Javelin after the motor blew.
Thanks for the pics!
I like the '68 Dart. The raised hood rear was a 'back-in-the-day' trick to bring cool air under the hood from the high-pressure area at the cowl. Sort of early day Mopar "cowl induction". Not any ram effect but just cooler-than-underhood air.

Those 935 Porsches were absolutely insane. I remember watching them as a kid at Road America and recently in Vintage racing. The turbos glow orange and under deceleration will blow foot long flames out the back.
