Some of them I regonise but I'm rubbish with names - bet hubby could list them all!

[Mass_Mopar]

I can get about 1/2 make and model, but probably not years.  Except for the one with the sign in front of it

Tough bunch . . . I'd have some problems with most of them. 

[69_500]

Definatley a tough crowd to get them all correct. That is unless your into a lot of european cars.

[BigBlackDodge]

'48 Allard M1.....................ha!


BBD

[mustanghater]

I think this one is a fiat I think a 64

[451-74Charger]

The little Green thing is an Arbarth (Fiat)
The Blue car  (number 80) is a Morgan
number 118 is a lotus
the green car with the british flag on the hood is a Scamp

thats all i can recognise

[Jon Smith]

A little off topic but did you see the crash that happened at that event. 17 cars

[mustanghater]

and it was caused by that mustang too it was on speed news

Holy crap!!  

Even though I don't see any Mopars in that pic, that's still a very sad sight...that's a lot of neat old iron (& fiberglass) all twisted & bent there.

[Brock Samson]

 WOW!! 17 cars?.. 
I only count 8 cars in that pic..   

Can you name them?..   

[Charger_Fan]

Can you name them?..     

Don't want a hijacked thread?

Ok, here goes...
1) 67-ish Cobra
2) 63-67 Vette's (coupe & convert)
3) 68-83 Vette's
2) 67-68 Cramaro's
1) 67-68 Firechicken
1) 70 Mustang

How'd I do?

[mustanghater]

the same thread was on moparts

[Jon Smith]

sorry about the hijack

[Brock Samson]

 no hijack in progress,.. just an unexpected development...

thanks so much for the link, the remarks below the pics are facinating!!!

I don't care so much for exact I.D.s on the cars, but the mustang i belive is a '70 which used be driven by George Fullmore (sp?).. firechicken is '69...

(btw: lola t-70s are in abundance in the first group photos....

[Charger_Fan]

You're right about the Firechicken, I didn't make out the pointy, scooped T/A hood.
Man, that's enough to make a guy cry!
I can only hope that most of those cars were clones & not the real thing.

That orange (68,69,70?) Vette didn't come out well at all.

[Brock Samson]

 no clones all, those     are the real historic Trans American "USA/Canada"  and A-class production racers from back in the day, (68-70, some safety upgrades and new motors for racing...
Usually Sam Poseys sub-lime Chally T/A and Dan Gurneys' AAR make that field... no sign of them though.  i also didn't see the John Greenwood stars and stripes Vette which was a major player back then, being capable of speeds well  in excess of 200 MPH with it's ZL-1 427 and Bat-mobile body work.

[Charger_Fan]

That's it, I'm now crying in my beer.

That's terrible.
