This is the front of the Type 34, look familiar?
I'll post more photos with the green cover off later to get a better idea of what it looks like.

The back looks corvair-ish. The type 3 motor lies tucked in the back.

The Rampside is waiting in primer green to be painted as I mentioned before. It will be interesting to compare the before and after pics of this as well.

Lastly, this 1973 911t needs those chain tensioners replaced. It will good to drive again. There is something special about the early 911's and 356's, they are from a different era.
You can see the z28 pylewagon that I'm working on in the backround.

This entire thread has been one big motivator for a lot of people.
At least we didn't go away quietly into the night as some may have thought.

It ain't over til the fat lady lady sings...........

....which brings me to this thought. My 67, Barracuda hill car had a license plate frame that read "No Fat Chicks". Many people thought this to mean exactly what it read. Of course I got a lot of dirty looks and threatening comments from the big girls which took some explaining.

The plate frame was given to me by a good friend who at the time had cancer and was going through chemo. It began as a joke and ended up a promise. My friend was a big part of Mulholland Drive. He was also a person that was larger than life.

As my friend put it No Fat Chicks means "the fat lady ain't singing at my party" during his struggle with cancer. It was his way of dealing with it. It's true meaning was simply "TO LIVE".

With that said no matter how old we get and how many of us have and or will leave the building "the fat lady ain't gonna sing at this Mulholland party and she is not welcome here".

As we have gotten older some of the things we did in the past have faded into the background. Life has changed for many of us and has gotten busy. As the years have gone by those things in our past have been replaced by serious things like marriage, business, mortgages, children etc. You know what I mean in one way or another!

If this thread can leave you with one thing that you can take with you let it be a reminder "TO LIVE" even if vicariously.

He he he, nothing like a 4 wheel drift in a Porsche powered Vanagon. That early black bus is powered by a built 993 twin turbo motor. The car was widened and built as a semi-tube frame, a far cry from our Dad's old bus which I used to steer around Mulholland when I was a little kid. My driving lessons came at a VERY early age, and what better place to learn.

Lola T165/T70 FS in NZ???
 

OK, I admit I'm too lazy to go back and search thru the 70 pages of this thread, but I came across this car collection for sale in New Zealand today and one of them rang a bell. Wasn't this car mentioned early on in the Banzai Runners portion of this thread?

Get out the checkbook and bring this piece of nostalgia back to CA, someone! They are selling the whole collection, but individual cars may be available separately. All it takes is $$$$, and lots of it. :D
Ad for Lola here.

Historical events from my past that happened on the hill. Mostly 1969 through 1976. It appears to me that most folks spent age 19 through 24 there before moving on with life.

1. Got pulled over by a cop in ~1973 in my Boss 302. I wasn't doing anything wrong. He tried to sell me his Hemi Cuda. By looking at the recent prices, I should have bought it.

2. Hit a deer at speed in my Boss 302. Luckily we both survived.

3. I was a passenger in my own car (yellow 1965 mustang) when Ivan went airborne in front of a cop car and high centered it on the burm. It was right in front of the whole peanut gallery at Grandstands and the urchins at Bowmont. Guessing 1970-1971.

4. The Bowmont Drive hang out and escape route. It had a gate there by 1972 but it wasn't permanent yet. I remember aiming at Bowmont as an escape route one time in 1972 and finding the rude reality that it was cordoned off.

5. I just was breaking in a new short block in the Boss 302, headed west. A yellow 914 comes through Karl's on the wrong side of the road and we had a head on. Zeke was in my passenger seat. He was OK but my nose was broken in the crash. The 914 went for a long ride down the hill. John N was the first guy on the scene, since he was racing the 914.

6. Passenger in a Javelin for this hit. A now famous Ferrari mechanic was driving mom and dad's car when it got T-boned. Zeke was riding shotgun and I was in the back seat. Did I mention before that Zeke became a jinx by now?

7. A wetback driving on the wrong side of the road has a head on with my Boss 302 headed eastbound. If this sort of thing happens often enough, you get the idea that you would be better off on a race track where it's safer.

8. Neat escape route used many times.

9. See number 8.

10. First BJ

Darn , the pic upload didn't work. How do you do that again? When I click "IMG", it says "Enter text to be formatted". I had all the hilights circled on a Mulholland map that Jeff had previously posted.

1. Naw, should'a kept the Boss (Better Car, you don't need money)

2. Better ask the Deer first.

3. Guess I was an urchin

4. That gate had spears sticking out of it.

5. OK, sell the Boss (find the Cop with the Hemi)

6. ...and who broke his nose again??

7. Wetback on Mulholland? Somebody must have been lost. Race tracks are easy - all the traffic is going the same way for the same reason.

8. see 9 & 10

Yes Rick, #10 is off the map.

When California Adventure opened a few years ago, they premiered a new ride called "Mulholland Madness", (I wonder if anyone of the designers even drove on Mulholland). All the copying and use of the Mulholland name like Mulholland shocks, suspension kits, a special Prowler edition and much more shows us how significant Mulholland is and how important it is for advertising and making products credible and worthy in todays markets. It took years/decades of illegal racing to make this possible. Don't you just love it? God bless America.

Here is a sample of Mulholland Madness...

Jeff Hail sent me this photo. He found out years ago that if you donate a couple of boxes of doughnuts before a night of all out racing to the local law enforcement, they will usually relax and leave Mulholland Drive for the evening as a sign of their appreciation.

Jeff, which night was this?

With all this hullabaloo about transfat these days, it looks like the good old days on Mulholland are truly a thing of the past.

Thanks Pat, great stories.
We need the same from all the CRE members to fully document the years 1969 to 1974 on Mulholland Drive. Victor and I will begin very soon to collect the lore from one of, if not the most, significant group from Mulholland Racing legend, the CRE.
