Craigster, That 'Hey-Man' CA plate was on a Black Carrera on a lot here in Denver this summer. Near my house.

With the hand print. Without the green stuff on the bottom.

Where'd you get it?

The late, great Smokey Yunick built it, I believe 1965or so, but it never made the race. Thats when Indy was Indy. Innovation and balls. Could you inagine driving that thing around with so little protection, had to have balls.

Go buy yourself Smokey's autobiography for Christmas. A bit quirky and long, but one hell of a fun read.

In 1964, Yunick showed up at the track with one of the most radical cars ever to enter the 500-mile race. Called the Hurst Floor Shift Special, it featured a catamaran-like layout with the driver placed in a pod adjacent to a second pod containing the engine, front and rear suspension, fuel tank, and radiator. Unfortunately, his driver Bobby Johns—the guy who almost won the Daytona 500 with Smokey’s Pontiac in 1960—had trouble adjusting to the car’s handling characteristics and eventually backed it into the wall during the last day of qualifying.

I hope no one minds this page being a little less random, but I have to get my car onto page 911...

Ok, me too. Memories of better days (I put the car to sleep this past weekend for the winter. Saddest time of year :( )

You euthanized your car?

Sorry, native Californian, no idea what you are talking about...

One I really like....the ring in the winter! Happy Holidays.

FWIW, it's not always page 911. You can set how many pages to display, so for me, it's page 456:
