This Black Beauty of an IROCZ belongs to Ronnie
& Carol Holley.
Nothing like a little sunshine. Here we have Rob and Sarah Booth in their stylin
23 T Bucket. The Bucket has 300 horses in that 350ci Chevy engine with an Edelbrock 4bbl carb and hooked to a 350 turbo
auto trans for that just so go-power fun.
This beauty of a 40 Ford Sedan belongs to Richard
Spry. Richard did a frame off on his 40 and did the paint and body work himself. Then he added a 350 Chevy for cruise reliabilty
and a 9in Ford rear end for strenght. You are likely to see Richard and Beverly cruising almost anywhere in this sleek ride.
This is Jerry Dawson’s 1970 Chevelle SS. Packaged under the hood
is a 454 CI Big Block, housing 425 horses & 450 ft. lbs. of torque. It is fed by a Holley 750 Street Avenger and breathes
through Hooker ceramic coated headers into a 2 ½ in. exhaust with a pair of 40 series FlowMaster’s. It really
takes you back to 1970 when you’re cruising around listening to an 8 Track Tape playing in the under dash 8 Track Player.
Do you remember this time, when you only had 2 real worries ? 1. Were you going to have enough money to make the car and insurance
payments, and 2. Were the Cops going to be hiding in the trees on the dark, bare country road where you
were about to go drag racing!
 This medium Garnet
Red 1951 Chevy belongs to Richard and Francisca Laning. With a Chevy 350 and 700R4 for go and a 1988
Chevy Caprice police car chassis with oversized brakes, heavy duty sway bars and wheels with a 5X5 bolt pattern it sticks
to the road. Except for the stainless firewall the body is pretty much stock including the original sun visor. There
are a few items for comfort and style points like electric door and trunk solenoids, dummy spot lights, fender skirts and
a hand sewn interior by Francisca which is not surprising since Richard and Francisca did all of the work themselves.
Yes, even the paint on this Gem of a ride.
 This is a 1980 Triumph TR-8 and it belongs to Bill and Monnie Moseley. This little beauty is one of only 1528 convertible
TR-8s produced. The 8 is not only the model number, it is also the number of cylinders in its GM-developed aluminum American engine that was
bought by from GM by Rover back in 1965. The little 3528cc engine packs 236HP as measured on a tie-down
dynamometer so it has plenty of Zoom and is also a thing of beauty. The TR-7 was a fun to drive sports car but, with a little good old American ingenuity, suddenly it became an even more fun
to drive HIGH POWERED sports car - everything you wanted your British Sports
Car for in the first place, plus all the potential power any U.S. driver wants...
 This very clean 1971 Torino GT is Doyle Jackson's
baby. It sports a 351 and is a completely bone stock one owner beauty except for the wheels and was the family car before
it was religated to show duty. Doyle has the original wheels stashed away safe and sound just in case, along with the trophies
this little sweety brings home.. It is the love of his life, after his wife Glenda of course.
This limited production streak of Nassau Blue Metallic
bowtie lightning belongs to Leah Pittman.
Leah's 1999 Corvette Coupe has a 5.7 liter sequential fuel injection V8 and chrome wheels. It's all
stock except for the vertical door kit that her son installed, which allows the doors to open normally or lift gullwing
style for show. A few folks thought that Leah was a brush stroke off on her art for changing her Vette the
way she did but we think that what she has created is a master piece.
This Smooth
in Glacier Blue Chevy belongs to Bill Kaser. This 1955 210 Post Chevy sports a 400 horses from a GM ZZ-4 motor
with a GM Hot Cam hooked to a Turbo 400 tranny and spinning a set of Torque Thrust Wheels. Bill found his little gem
in Century Florida in running condition and a 2 1/2 year frame off restoration was done mostly by his son Billy. Nowadays
Bill just sits back and enjoys the ride.
 When
you think Muscle Car, Mustang always pops into mind. Thats what Kenny & Mary Keith have, a pure bred Stang. This PPG deltron
Yellow Beauty as a 65 Mustang 289 tricked out and shiney with names like Crane, Edelbrock,
Holley, Trick Flow, Griffin and Ford Racing in its pedigree all pushing a top loader 4 speed tranny. The inside is tricked
out too with fine upholstery, 69 Mach 1 highback seats, Sony CD player and 1400 watt Audiobahn amp pushing two 10 inch Audiobahn
woofers and extra guages from Summit all riding on Shelby Cobra GT 500 wheels wraped in Winston GT performance tires. Like
I said, Pure Bred Muscle.
 Bruce Crosby has owned his little screamer for
just 3 years. In that time he massage the body back to life and covered it in Mango Orange paint.
It is a Dodge Challenger RT 440 6 pak pushing a Sure Grip Rear end. Bruce has managed to put 1500 miles on his car since he
finished it. Funny thing about this ride is that you never hear it comming but you always see it leaving. Bruce did a great
job and has a great car to show for it.
This is Jerry Mixon and his Bad Big Brother to the Corvette,
a 1972 Buick Riviera. One of the designers of the Riv also worked on designing earlyer Vettes. A true boattail
design, Jerry's Riv, except for the addition of the 71 vents on the trunk lid, is a stock masterpiece that needs no help.
This beautiful design only lasted for three years before the boattail disappeared into history once again. It runs
a 455 with one 4 barrel and puts out 260 horses to motor it on down the highway. It is a lucky fella who owns one of these.
This beautiful 1981 Chevy pickup belongs to
Gerald and Mercedes Nicklien and was bough new by Gerald's father. The trucks name is Yankee Peddler and runs a stock
250 inline six with modified air induction hooked to a Turbo 350. With Glacier Blue paint, custom
upolstery in the cab and bed, fiberglass bed topper all lowered 3 inches over Pacer rims wrapped in Bridgestone Duelers, I'd
say Gerald and Mercedes have a pretty cool ride.

This is Ed Lewis's 555 cubic inches of screaming rat motored 66 Nova SS. The clean little
66 breathes in through a 2 stage nitrous system and puffs through Lemons Headers, Borla Mufflers and 4in pipes. The
HP transmits to the M/T PRO-Street meats on Aluma-Stars Wheels tucked nicely in the tubbed body via a 400 trans and 9in
Ford rearend suppended on 4 links. Ed sits comfortably in the Kirky Pro-Street Buckets and aims his missle with a Heidt's
front end and an Ed Quay Spoiler keeps the traction happening.
Judi Lewis likes a little more glide in
her ride as her 2000 Corvette attests to. Her Vette has 6 forward speeds to choose from and breaths in through a K&N Filter
and out through a B&B Tri-Flow Exhaust system. Top this off with a Hyper-Tech Chip and Judi gets where she is going in
quick style.
This mean green
skootin machine belongs to Larry Cribbs. Larry and Susie love cruising around in the little green "T" with the
wind in their hair and the bugs in their teeth. With a 302-C4 combo Larry's 27 "T" Roadster can get along. Larry
is a very handy sort, he built nearly everything for his little ride and painted it too. I think he even made the Varoom
that comes out of the exhaust pipes.
This little Torch
Red beauty belongs to Ken Lowery and Rita Laymon. It is a cherry 1993 LT1 Corvette. At just less than 4 feet from
the top to the ground with a 62 inch track and a 350 with 300 horses Ken and Rita can scoot along a pretty good clip.
After all, a red head needs a Torch Red Vette.
Owned by Robert Osteen this Dodge Bros. 1936 Pickup is the icing on the cake. With a blown 350ci
rat motor and a turbo 350 transmission plenty of torque is transfered to the 318 Dodge rearend. In turn the Kelly tires
on Weld Wheels and Mustang rack and pinion steering and front suspension get Robert and his little Cream colored puff around
in style.
This sleek little 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS belongs to Geno Graham. It has 500 horses in
a blue printed Big Block Turbo 350 that makes the 4/10 rear end gears scream for mercy. There is wiring by
Painless to get those amps where they need to be, new carpet and insulation to keep his tootsies cool and comfy and an IDIDIT
polished aluminum steering column to keep it pointed in the right direction. Geno has had this beauty for 5 years and his
wife tells me it is for sale to the highest bidder. I think that this is a JOKE
but Geno might want to get her car finished soon, just in case.
 The car is a 1932 Ford Hi-Boy built by TimelessRods in Lula, Georgia. The man Is Glen Freeman.
The mission is to show off one of his four really stoked 32s and this is my favorite. It has a BeBops body, SBC Chevy with
a Turbo 400 transmission for reliabilty, American Racing wheels for bite and 4 wheels discs for the ultimate in stopping
power. Glen tells me that this is a new build with very few miles on it and is back in the shop in Lula for the installation
of "outside the frame" headers and side pipes. Should be back in Brewton before Christmas so be watching for it..
Here we have Randy Jackson in his really RED 33 Ford Pickup. For go power this little sweety sports the less seen 289 HiPo. Adorned with
a 670cfm Holley perched atop a Weiand intake and ceramic coated headers all pushing 411 gears in a 9" Ford rear. All
this scream goes together very well for one clean little street rod.
 This Sweet 1952 Ford Panel belongs
to Bernie Mostoller and is all Blue Oval powered by a '68 302 .030 over with forged aluminum flat tops and Comp Cams cam, breathing through K&N
filter on a 600 Edelbrock carb and Performer RPM manifold, exhaling via ceramic coated headers to dual 2 1/4 pipes and
FlowMaster Series 70 muffler. Shine by Zoops includes billet brackets along with many polished accessories and a mirror
finish stainless firewall. A C-4 trany hooks to a Ford 9"rear and suspension is Mustang II with tubular control arms,
coil overs, and swaybar. Wheels are American's with 60 series Goodrich T/A radials.
Cool is provided by Southern Air, tunes by a Boss control head, Power Acoustics 800 watt amp, Alpine speakers
and Infinity 10" subwoofer. Interior is done in marine vinyl and carpet by Johnny Lingo at Lawless Hotrods with
'65 Mustang Pony package lighting.
 This is Bill Bass and just one of his flock
of Beeeeeeutiful Birds. It is a 1964 Baby Blue Thunderbird
original 2 door hardtop with a 390cid motor and a C4 transmission. This Tbird has been restored to its near show room condition.
While helping a friend move back to Pensacola, Bill got to drive his friends new 1964 Bird and decided it was the worlds Ultimate
Automobile. It only took Bill 40 years to get his but he got it.
Here we have David Del Gallo in his 1976
911S Targa Porsche. This sweet little piece of perfect engineering is all stock and David keeps it clean and spotless
all the time. From the aluminum weels to the whale tail spoiler this baby is ment for GO. So when you see it (or
just hear it) Go by, know that David has a smile on his face.
This is Tonya
Del Gallo and her baby. It's a 1972 SS Chevelle Convertible and the go power comes from an LS3 402, connected
to the original transmission with rowing done by stick shift all pushing the stock rear end and it has matching
numbers to boot. You'll be seeing her at plenty of car shows. On the road, it will be that RED
blur. HOORAY!!!!!! is what Tonya has to say about it.
This is Sam archer and his "Feel
Good Willys". He calls it that because he says "Just looking at it makes you
feel good". It is a 1941 Willys Coupe with a 502 Cubes of rat motor topped with a Weiand tunnel ram and two 600 Holley
carbs and a nitros system that dumps 250 horse power per shot. The steering is Mustang II and the rear is
a Fab 9 with a 4 link system all hooked to a Tubular chassis all riding on Boyd Coddington Signature Series wheels. The colors
are PPG Ultra Violet Poly and House of Color Chrome Yellow. Don't look now by I think it had a baby!
This beautiful little 1965 Mustang Fastback
belongs to Steve Foust and it has a few up grades that are not easely noticed. Like for instance the 347 cubes of
small block Ford and T5 tranny hooked to the 9 inch rear with a Detroit Locker in it. Or how about the Shelby steering and
suspension backed up by a pair of Shelby traction bars. Or maybe the four wheel disc brakes to get this monster stopped. It
tip toes around on American Torque Thrust wheels shod with Goodrich G-Force tires. Just because it looks like a Mustang doesn't
mean it is not a Thoroughbred.
