XR6
The XR-6 represents a bold step forward in the field of hot rodding. LeRoi "Tex" Smith of the Hot Rod Magazine staff, in his collaboration with a dedicated group of automotive specialists, has produced an updated version of the classic "street rod". No mere display curiosity, XR-6 is completely drivable and features independent suspension, a full-race Weber-carbureted Lancer slant six engine under its sleek hood, and a fully instrumented and finely detailed cockpit. Working around a '27 Ford "T" roadster body, talented designed Steve Swaja evolved the ground-hugging body which retains the lean, function feel of transitional street roadsters. On its first public showing, the XR-6 began what promises to be a long and successful automotive life by winning the Oakland National Roadster Show's award, "World's Most Beautiful Roadster!" |

Dave's comments: Quite a snazzy custom for its time, this model comes with the additional '27 tub. |
