Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro

Image
  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him.   The father and son

      This is a very rare Canadian built 1970 Pontiac GTO that's owned by Randy Greene, he is retired from United States Marine Corps where he worked on helicopters.  The GTO had some serious upgrades over the years, starting with a hopped-up 455 c.i. Pontiac engine equipped with a big Holley carburetor supplying the air/fuel mixture. It's mounted on top of an aluminum Edelbrock Performer intake manifold.   The fumes exit through long-tube headers & Flowmaster mufflers. A high lift-long duration cam was installed giving the exhaust notes that nice rump- atty-rump sound! The 455 is backed up with a 3-speed automatic transmission, that was filled with a 3000 rpm high-stall torque converter and it's controlled by a Hurst His & Hers shifter .  The chassis was filled with the best parts from QA1, including control arms, sway-bars and heavy duty end links. The rear end was filled with 3:42:1 gears and a posi-traction differential.    Randy said he has owned the car for

    This Awesome Photo was done by Tristin Godsey, the owner of Trystram Portrait Artistry from Roseburg, Oregon      If this 1965 Mustang could talk , it would tell you how it traveled across our great country from coast to coast and seen places many of us have never been . This is a the story of Duncan Southall and his journey with his 1965 Mustang (in his words), a story that is still being written. My story with my Mustang is a unique tale. This was the first car I ever bought, and it’s been mine since High School. Although my high school experience ended up with me dropping out and joining the Marines. It was important to mention how my experience with my Mustang guided my life. I received a myriad of tickets as a 16-year-old with a passion for street racing. I had racked up reckless and careless driving tickets, exhibition of speed and those open tickets were prohibitive for my entrance in the Marines at 17. Luckily, my father took me to court hearing where I was at the mercy of
