Racing Junk Find: Two Piles of Pontiac Power
Posted in General News September 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We were doing a logical thing the other day, shopping for engines that would be perfect for vehicles we don’t own. Eschewing the Chevrolet and Ford families, we were looking for something weird and wild. Not weird, but definitely wild are these two Pontiac motors, which use aftermarket blocks, heads, hell, everything! The “bigger brother” [...]
Racing Junk Find: The $8500 Oldsmobile Rear End
Posted in General News September 3, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Just because the economy is imitating a Valu-Jet swamp landing doesn’t mean that insane prices for rare muscle parts have gone down. We found a listing on RacingJunk.com for an Oldsmobile W27 rear end. This piece featured an aluminum center section to reduce weight and increase the cooling properties of the assembly. Available only in [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Crazed, Turbocharged, Speed Buggy Autocross Killer (w/Video)
Posted in General News August 27, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We’ve got go-karts on the brain recently, and there’s a reason, which you’ll find out about next week. That being the case, we went hunting for neat stuff on RacingJunk and found the greatest man-sized go-kart in America. Packing a turbocharged Mitsubishi four banger, and originally set up for drag racing, this little hot rod [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Race Ready LSR 1977 Corvette
Posted in General News August 19, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
With Chad being stationed on the salt all week providing updates and information Speed Week that you’re literally not going to get anywhere else, we’ve totally gone nuts scheming on LSR racing combos to attack Bonneville and other venues with. We found a ‘Vette that couldn’t be recreated for the selling price, especially because it [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Neato 1977 Ford Class 8100 Off Road Racing Truck
Posted in General News August 11, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We always tell you that we’re lusting after the various vehicles we find on our normal slate of websites that sell cool stuff, but this time we really mean it. This 1977 Ford desert racing truck is priced to sell and makes us want to sell and organ to buy it. It has run the [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Cool LSR 1927 Ford Rear-Engine Roadster
Posted in General News August 3, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
After spending one of the better weekends of our gearhead life at Loring, Maine last weekend in the thick of the LSR action, we’re stuck on the idea of having a car to screw around with in the genre. There were scant few LSR machines on RacingJunk, but this neato roadster that’s headed to the [...]
Racing Junk Find: The World’s Baddest Ass Pit Vehicle
Posted in General News July 28, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Hit any racing event and you’ll see multitudes of people cruising the grounds on mini-bikes, golf carts, old mopeds and other small stuff. That’s all fine for them, but for us it is unacceptable (mostly due to the low weight ratings of the aforementioned vehicles). Nope we need something large enough to cause a serious [...]
Racing Junk Find: The Quickest and Fastest Drag Radial Car in the World
Posted in General News July 14, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We never set our sights low around here, so when we went searching RacingJunk.com for a drag car, we found David Hance’s ass-kicking Mustang. This is the ET and MPH record holder for cars running drag radial style tires. It has stopped the clocks as quick as 6.99 seconds and tripped the beams at more [...]
Racing Junk Find: A 1964 Dodge Pulling Truck With 700-inches of Hemi Power!
Posted in General News July 6, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

We caught some pulling action on TV recently and went into fantasy mode searching for something to jump into competition with. Us being us, we didn’t want some typical late-model truck. We found a super unique 1964 Dodge W300 truck that has a 702ci Hemi based on a Keith Black Stage 7 block. Ooga Booga! [...]

RacingJunk Find: A Stock Bodied 2010 Camaro SS Tube Chassis Drag Car
Posted in General News June 29, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Tube chassis race cars that use unaltered stock bodies make us happy. Nothing is cooler than retaining a true factory look but packing big power, killer suspension, and advanced chassis technology underneath. This 2010 Camaro SS drag car is virtually perfect in our book and the best looking example we’ve seen of a full-on late [...]
RacingJunk Find: A 1972 Deuce and a Half on 53-inch Tires
Posted in General News June 24, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Old military deuce and a half trucks rule all. Sure they’re big and slow and ride like Fred Flintstone’s car, but the word unstoppable keeps coming to mind when we think of them as well. We’ve seen stories about guys taking them wheeling to places like Moab and other heavy duty spots, but we’ve never [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Killer 1962 Ford F-100 Gasser (look) Truck
Posted in General News June 16, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We were all set to go digging on RacingJunk.com to find some kick ass nostalgia drag race car when all of a sudden our eyes fell on the ad for this totally awesome 1962 Ford F-100 gasser-style truck. The whole gasser truck thing harks back to a look that really never was, but damn we [...]
RacingJunk Find: The Pisano and Matsubara Nostalgia Funny Car

Nostalgia Funny Cars are where it’s at right now in drag racing. There are dozens across the country and they’ve gone from side show to featured attraction with dedicated events happening all over the place. We found one of the coolest examples in the world for sale on RacingJunk.com. It hauls ass, has tons of [...]
RacingJunk Find: The Baddest 1968 Road Runner Ever
Posted in General News May 27, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
If we told you that we found a Hemi powered Road Runner on RacingJunk.com, you’d shrug and move on. If we told you that Hemi was a 14-71 blown 496ci Keith Black engine, you’d stick around. Well, it is and you need to learn more about the gnarliest Road Runner since ever. Sporting a totally [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Retro-Cool 1953 Henry J Gasser
Posted in General News May 17, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This 1953 Henry J is not an “original” gasser, instead it is a modern build that plays the part of an old school racer. We think it rules and it would be on the strip seconds after we paid for it. We were seduced by the flip nose and the beam front axle complete with [...]
RacingJunk Find: A ’56 Pontiac Chieftain Drag Car
Posted in General News May 10, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
After seeing all that cool stuff at the Hunnert Car Shootout, we decided to go looking for an awesome, old school racer for ourselves. We piled through all sorts of ’55 through ’57 Chevys, some high riding Fords, and then we hit pay dirt with a ’56 Pontiac. So many retro-race cars are actually modern [...]
