206 mph Starliner



Owned by George Poteet, a member of the Memphis Street Rods car club, it went 199 mph back in 2007 or 208. It's still powered by a 359 Roush Racing Ford small block though, and has pulled off 206. The record for it's class in 238 or so

Nascar inspired 1960 Starliner build... every car looks better with 60s racing numbers and a sponsor down the quarter panels



Ryan’s Starliner started off as an unfinished project, he swapped out the tired old 325 for a 390 sporting 3 Rochester 2 barrels. Replacing the engine was just the start of this primarily mechanical restoration as Ryan added air ride suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, custom side pipe exhaust that runs through the frame, new wheels and tires and a floor mounted shifter. The interior looks mostly original as he left the bench seat and didn’t install a roll cage. He did, however, make some of the neatest door panels around.

The last La Mesa cruise night of the summer of 2009

A look around at the small main drag that everyone cruises





The bikers always line up on this street







































I found it cool that this VW doesn't have a back window

These two Caddys are always in front of Sanfilippos


1956 Empi sportster before fiberglass











The Sanfilippos Stude has a happy driver





There were about 4 split window vettes











Terrific color





































I noticed the fender skirts on this Galaxie and didn't recall ever seeing them before
