  • Continuing the presentation of the Guest Cars we had at Retro Rides Gathering 2019, we have today probaby the most unique of the bunch, a proper Hot Rod version of a 1930 Ford Model A, here powered by a Buick 6.6L V8 "Nailhead" Engine.
    Built, owned and driven by Gavin Meanley, this is the very first pre-1945 car featured on our Channel, and with comes quite a number of technical solutions ( some would say problems... ) like the fact that it uses drum brakes and crossplys... But of course. with over 300Hp moving this incredibly stripped out machine, it is still impressively quick for such a Vintage machine...
    But we´ll leave that for you to evaluate....

    This was very scary, I fought it’d be a drag race, and I was shocked to see it going uphill.
    Driving that fast uphill without power steering (the way the driver was steering looks like there isnt power steering) and in this type of car that could roll over easily is very ballsy.

      Salia Berthé in the states old model a’s and Chevy couples dominate hill climb races. But this yuppie european’s naive thought that faster=better by putting a 1,500 rpm peak torque engine on a light body isn’t the way it’s done in the states. The Americans were also doing 4 cylinder lightweight easily throwable around corner cars too.

      Oscar Thorpe buick 401 nailheads made 340 horsepower and 445 pound feet of torque from the factory. I’ve got a 66 electra. Big old full size unsuspecting car that’ll rip block long burnouts like it’s not even trying.

    I don't doubt that it does a very good sound and that it would be good in a drag race, but I was scared during the whole video, I thought it would have crashed in litterally every moment.
    Edit:also, the car at 1:05 in the background is a Ford RS200?
