Fouled plugs Tumblr, just hot rods, and nothing but hot rods... freaking great to find a pure hot rod tumblr site








http://fouledplugs.tumblr.com for a lot more like this

Theres always a first time. That car and bike blogs post porn among the cars is nothing new. But the site I got these from, posts gay porn. So beware

It's quite common that the Tumblr sites I find good bike and car photos on have naked women, but this is the first with naked men that I've come across.

I've got no issue with that, but wanted you to be warned because it's more than nude male models, it's guys having sex with guys as well. Some people find that really too much.

it's full of VW and Citroens primarily, with a smattering of race cars, muscle cars, and here is a sample of some of the cool cars on http://scrivmaggporn.blogspot.com/

Just about everything looks better in the Gulf racing colors
Can't figure out why the car was rusted, and fitted with custom opening doors

I'm surprised to see this Porsche in such bad condition, they were always in high demand





Above is the "Mercedes Bent" that i've photogrphed and posted a couple of times already
This is one a a handful of Bugatti Royale Napolean, they are enormous and it's too bad nothing is next to it to show the perspective

1 of 55 RO/WO factory drag race Coronet and Belvederes


Makes me say Damnit.

According to Galen Govier only 1 1966 S/S Coronet was built (WO21H6*******)and 50 S/S Belvedere's (RO21H6*******). In 1967 Chrysler switched to the hardtops, why who knows as they still built the Sedan cars for this year as well. Again, according to Galen Govier, 55 S/S Coronet 440's (WO23J7*******) with the Hemi were built and 55 S/S Belvedere's (RO23J7*******).


Functional hood scoop made from steel with and aluminum plate under it that seals it to the carbs. Prestolite electronic ignition mounted under the dash. 4.88 gears. 4 speed cars had slick shift trannys and a steel bellhousing. There is a post on the drivers side fender well that connects the lead from the trunk mounted battery to original battery cable. The cars were painted before the under hood battery tray was removed, so some paint is missing there. Cars were delivered with a set of headers and the aluminum carb to scoop tray in the trunk. It is reported that some cars had a heater, but this is not confirmed. Scheduled build date for all 110 cars is 2-12-67, that # is on all the data plates, even tho tha cars were not all actually assembled on that date

Super Stocks, as rare as they are, get a little publicity, but I can't recall a RO/WO getting any publicity via a magazine feature in years

1966-67 drag racing on Green Valley Raceway, Smithfield Texas, probably never before seen, home video
