Here are a couple of professional shots of the Bill Shorts car in Sweden, taken by Bertil Lindgren. Bertil used to take photos for Start & Speed in the 70´s and 80´s.

I bought a Chevy CanAM (ZL1) block from those guys in 1982 that we were going to have in our Toyota Celica. They had plans to have it in this car and had started to polish the block. One side was all they managed. The block came from the McLaren team in England.

We decided not to use the block due to the weaknesses and sold it to a guy who was going to have it as a tablestand laying some glass over it. As far as I have heard he still has it like that.

In Start & Speed #3 1977 we are told that Dale Armstrong had sold the 1975 Vega FC earlier driven by Chris Christensen, to Kurt Andersson, Sweden.

Hi Ron ! That´s a god pic of Russo´s Rat. When I searched for it on the internet I got a lead to Romania. Do you know what happened to it ?
Tell me about some of the cars you had, also !

Since Sam doesn´t want to see more of the racecars we bought back then, I have decided to save his weekend by showing some Street-Mustangs that visited Mantorp Park Raceway. Most of these pics where taken at the same event in 1974-75 so they are all different cars I think.

Here are some more from the same event, and a couple from the late seventies/early eighties.

To continue the Ford theme, here is a pro stock Maverick that Dyno Don sold to Lasse Flodman in 1975. Lasse also bought the truck to transport the Maverick with.

When Tage and Björn had sold the Manta with the JJ-chassis, Björn bought this Ken Cox Racecars-built Monza from California.
