Benrod and Nickrod

Here's Benrod I believe in his earliest Hechtrod, doing some practice laps, testing out that 1 dp (daddy power). :) Good times.
Here's the nice '65 ("The mustang was actually a ‘65, with the honeycomb grill, way cooler than the rectangular grill of the ‘66 in my opinion.") Mustang and Benrod and Nickrod proudly standing next to their steed. I got a ride in this bad boy once. It was pretty quick. Why'd you let this one go? Oh yeah, it had an auto trans. :) j/k

Here's a pic of the Dodge Daytona IROC, a little 2.5LTurbo charged 4 cyl and FWD. I rode in it once, it was decent. Gotta love turbos.

Here's a pic of Benrods '96 LT1 powered Slo...Camaro! :) This baby pumped out about 330whp I believe on a chassis dyno. It's got the bolt ons, plus some head work and a cam. No ET's yet.

Original Hechtrod

Check out these vintage Hechtrod pics, circa 1974 to 1976. I don't have all the specs but these are pics of my mom and dad with my dad's 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone, equipped with a 289 and a 4 speed, later being upgraded with a 302. I think an automatic was installed and then removed. He owned it from about 1972 ish to about 1982 or 83. It's got Cragar wheels in front and stock steelies with cheater slicks. He ran a best of 13.70's in the 1/4 mile at the old Irwindale drag strip in California and would shift at 8000+ rpms. I remember my dad mentioning a lot of do it yourself modifications, such as Chevy dual valve springs and bigger valves, high compression pistons, 4.56 gears in a Ford 9" rear end, suspension tweaks in the rear for better traction and loud mufflers. :) This car cruised the streets of San Gabriel Valley in the early 1970's. It was sold after a teenage girl ran through our garage in her car and busted up the passenger side. Man I wish I could find that car.

More from Park City Car Show

Here's more pics! Lovin' it!!! Here's Jake next to a Sunbeam Tiger

with a 260ci small block Ford engine. And how about this guy squeezing a Triton V10 Ford Truck motor into a 60's Mustang. Talk about nose heavy and torque! Look out! :)

Park City Mustang and Ford Car Show

Well, I took the family up to Park City to check out the Mustang and Ford Car Show they do every year. It's on Main Street in Park City, a very quaint little downtown, perfect setting for a car show. The bummer was it rained almost all the way up there. After about 5 minutes of walking around, it stopped. There were probably 100 cars, not sure. There were 2 Cobras who ventured through the rain. All generations of Mustangs were represented. Especially a lot of 2005 and newer stangs which is cool to see. There was one Ford GT (GT40), a few trucks. There was one Mercury Cougar and one Falcon. I was looking for a Comet like my dad used to own but no such luck. Well, the boys enjoyed it and I think Christy did too. It was Josh's first car show and he seemed excited. Enjoy the pics!
