It was recently here for a tune by Jason Oefelein before being taken to the King of the Hill competition. This custom tube chassis crawler features a front headlight cluster from an old Bronco and a Ford power plant.

Lately at Portland Speed Industries, there have been more unusual vehicles that have stopped by.  Just yesterday a Ford Gran Turino stopped by.  The owner beautifully restored the car over the past few years.  Early in the week, there was a sand rail that stopped by.

Along with these rare vehicles, there is also a Nissan Skyline, a gen two Dodge Viper, a drift 240sx with an SR20, a 33 Ford Coupe, a supercharged Ford Cobra Mustang, a twin-turbo Dodge Viper, and a couple of Toyota Supras.
