I was at that May 1970 meeting and thought the ME5 was the prettiest and most beautiful race car I had ever seen.Originally Posted by khyndart in CA
I went to the "Farm" for the first time in May 1970
The Neil Allen Elfin ME 5 Chevrolet was the star of the day and won the main race.
( Oldrace photos from Imgrum.org. )
(Ken Hyndman )
And still believe it is amongst the all time best looking cars.
That metallic blue colour was wonderful, and Allen even co-ordinated the colour of his helmet.
As this photo shows it looked to me like a stealth fighter.
Then in the interests of progress it got bastardised. Such a SIN.
See this TNF tread post #13 to see comparison of before and after.

Which would you prefer? I think it is pretty obvious.
In my opinion the current look is simply hideous
I know it is legal, as that TNF thread covers, but surely as an owner you would want it in its best and most appealing format.
