The Bonneville R3 Avanti that set the U.S.A.C. land speed records would be the only one that needed the 160 speedo. The R2 Hawk went 140 at Bonneville and an R2 Lark, 132.

Well I sure wouldn't drive one that fast...or any stock 60s car for that matter.

Wheels are non-stock Panasports or Minilites.

G'day
 
The pretty Fiat 124 Coupe. This one looks a little sad with panels not very straight
 
Cheers

Fiat 124 Coupe
 
Yup that is a Gen 2 (1969-73) Fiat 124 Sport Coupe 1600. It lacks bumpers because it's been modified for Autocross racing.
 
Styling was by Boano.

Good find.
That looks like a wide body version of the same car.
My daughter told me the cars were there for some VIP drives around the track.

I'd like to have a Fiat 124 coupe. Pretty hard to find them anymore---most have been turned into Ferrous Oxide mines.

There are several lovely Italian Coupes of that era. I think they look better without bumpers, although impractical.
