Ford GT40

Mustang Saleen

Another GT40

Mercedes Gullwing (new)

Viper

And beside it I found this GT40

Still don't have a clue what this was, but it did have street tags.

Self portrait, but I guess the watermark almost kills it.

Bucket T. Who could afford to keep this monster in gas?

Ford Roadster.

Lotus. This was probably my favorite car of the show.

Not every car was a performance car. Beautiful work on this retoration but I can't figure not going stock wheels.

I had one of these but it was white. Mine was a 348 ci. with dual 4 barrel carbs and dual exausts. It was still a dog being one of Chevy's heaviest cars coming in at over 4000 pounds. But it was fun and had a big back seat.

Not every car was stylish either.

Look at the leather hood straps.

A true classic. Porsche 1600 from the early to mid '60s. It's set up to race with the wire headlight covers and numbers. Note the newer model directly behind.

Strangest car at the show with front entry. It's a Iso 600. The owner claims it was built by Mercedes but I can't be held to task on those facts. Not much between you and the car in front of you. I think the top speed was about 50 miles per hour.

Finally, the little monster. These little things were monsters on the closed road tracks in Europe. You just couldn't turn one over. You could leave them behind on the straights but then they would blast by you on the corners. They were fun to ride in.
