The Steve Twist Collection: Part 2

[David McKinney]

And the Lexington Camaro was Spinner Black's

[Steve Holmes]

There are a couple of photos of how the Lexington Camaro looks now in post #14 of this thread: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...-b-w-or-colour

[Lee Tracey]

No photo has come up on your post Lee. But are you referring to the Mustang at the top of the page? If so, those aren't inlet trumpets, they're exhaust pipes. This was a popular modification at the time, used on several V8 powered race cars.

Thanks Steve (and Dave foor the Camaro answer). Sure glad that the Stang was not restored to that configuration.

Cheers
Lee

It could have been worse

You couldn't be more right David. That was simply awful wasn't it. It resembled in upside-down boat! And it didn't go any faster.

I loved your collection Steve.

Looking back through old threads, ( but a goody) this looks like Pete Geoghegan in the Factory GTHO Super Falcon in it's later guise - didn't know he'd brought this over to NZ. Reputedly cranked out over 635 neddie's.......

Those earlier 60's photos look like Steve must have been sitting just along from me!

No boat but, those pipes ..



do not remember that ..

[hilstwist]

Did the Mustang actually race with those pipes.most photos are pit shots and my ones it's on a trailer and I have none on the track which makes me think it was out of action that day.Does anybody recall?

[SPman]

I think it did race - I seem to have a vague recollection of seeing it with the organ pipes at Puke, and thinking "he's copying Coppins"......

Here's the Morrari for comparison.....

Steve Twist commented on my photo of the Fleetwood Mustang with the pipes out the bonnet - it is sitting on the trailer - and Steve has on this thread several other photos of the car [ in colour ] mine is Monchrome !!.

I hadn't really read this thread as was started way before I joined - have just scrolled through a great set of shots.

The Thread deserves to be at the Top again..

My Fleetwood Mustang photo. I have noted it as the April 1966 meeting
-Looking at the crowd may be another meeting, probably the NZIGP in January 66 or 67.



As first raced in 1965 Gold Leaf Three Hour Challenge -as standard - my photo.

A David McKinney photo with the boat nose, believe only tried once - didn't work
