70s Street Machine - Big tires!

[ESA]

nella 2° metà dei 70s le "street machine" erano diffusissime e c'erano una cifra di produttori di accessori aftermarket che spopolavano. e le gomme posteriori fuori sagoma erano un must per le, appunto, "street machine"..un elemento distintivo!



 



 

vedi Nigel, cio che per gli americani era (è?) cultura... per noi (voi :ciappa: ) è solo tamarreide..

About 70’s Street Machines

Remember when cars where fun and affordable? When big tires, lumpy cams and something protruding from the hood was TUFF and not at all considered tacky? Before the days of over-restored, date coded, numbers matching, museum quality investment pieces that they are now? The boring, dust collections sitting in climate controlled, carpeted garages only to be handled ever so delicately with the white glove treatment? The most excitement we get is when they are PUSHED across the auction block and over and over every single one of these “RARE” cars is sold for 20 times its original asking price to someone we all know probably won’t be laying black patches with it.

What about the days before complicated, computer controlled, high tech, massive wheels and rubber band tires on this trend known as the G Machine? What’s this you want your ‘69 Camaro to handle like a 2012 Vette??? Go buy a new Vette then! Stop trying to make old cars new!
