sprint200 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 No worries, our first local AutoX is just 11 days away. I'll be taking the Terlingua out for its first true test and will return with all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Anybody hear anything on when the 525HP 408cid small-block stroker Terlingua retro-racer will debut? It's been 16 months since SAI showed it at 2007 SEMA and things have been pretty quiet. I just love the idea of '67 redux :happy feet: :bandance: :happy feet: ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well, my car should be out of the paint shop in the next couple of days. I just couldn't live with what my car looked like after Terlingua. I will still have some piece of it however, as I got an entire new front end with lights, grilles, etc. for the new paint job. The old nose will go up on the wall, right behind my car in the garage. Here's what she looked like last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VorpalBunny Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Vorpal, you are being way to quiet. As our eyes and ears in Terlingua and the "Leader of the Pack", we need an update on life in Big Bend. How's the cruzin?? Hey Rick, Good question - it is gorgeous here right now - low 80's, sunny, great views. Perfect cruzin weather - I am sorry to my bretheren in cold climes... I have had Vorpl out cruzin some and had at least one group follow me up the mountains and hop out with a camera and start photographing the car! In general, the looks and heads a turnin are pretty interesting indeed - the car screams over the top going by and the long looks are a great deal of fun! More soon, VB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastPhil Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 LOL The Hyrogliphics post above sure tells the story!! I was a great time, I also brought back a few welcoming committee members in the front of my car. I dont have a Terlingua, but I made the event in the GT500, I unfortunately also had to repaint (the whole car) due to post tramatic Terlingua syndrome....it was not pretty. But in rememberance of Terlingua I offer the following Link: Terlingua Relay Race Thanks to my Co pilot and his better half for the footage.... :happy feet: Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drove the first leg, tossed me the keys and I ran over, jumped in and realized that I couldn't reach the pedals...........live and learn. We'll knew better the second race.

LOL, Never thought about the pedal issue, guess we were lucky both were ok with the seat settings, was our first Relay as well. I put all four videos up on streetfire a few months ago, forgot about posting on TS till I saw this thread tonight, We watched Gary from SAI throw the keys and pay the price, so we vowed to just make the hand off, Think I sent the link to Sprint200, If he hadnt had the same issue with the keys he might have taken the title!! Still brings back a smile from a great 4 days.... (Errr except for the paint work part of the story...) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Jeff - The old nose will go up on the wall, right behind my car in the garage. Here's what she looked like last week. Thats a great idea. I had a similar idea for my sons room. Thought about finding a rear quarter panel, door and front fender from a 68-70 fastback and attaching them to the celing in his room. That way he can look at it as he goes to sleep. P.S. I sure am glad that he has started liking Mustangs and Shelbys. Gives me a place to have a shrine without getting divorced.
