1960 Ford Falcon on S. Congress Ave
The first year for the Falcon with its small six cylinder engine. The body paint is flat and the roof is not.
1962 Triumph TR3 Roadster in Rosedale Neighborhood
This Triumph TR3 has 100 hp from four cylinders, weighs about 2100 lbs, and is the first production British car with front disc brakes. This is the last year for this model, supplanted by the
Moto Morini Corsarino ZZ 50cc Motorcycle
This Italian sport bike weighs only 119 lbs, four speed transmission, four stroke engine. Probably late 1960s. Took this at Horsepower Farm on S. Lamar, no longer there but their link is at right.
1960s Jaguar Mk 2 Sedan in SW Austin
Missing its fender skirts, it’s one of my favorite Jags. The Mk2 Sedan was built from 1959 to 1967, powered by their classic DOHC straight six, from 2.4 to 3.8 liter, similar to this XK-120
Sunbeam Tiger in Lakeway
This Sunbeam Tiger was offered for sale at BZ Motors, linked at right. These have small block Ford V8s, either 260 or 289 cu. in., created with help from Carroll Shelby for the British Rootes Group Apline roadster. The
1966 Thunderbird Town Landau in Lakeway
Heavy and softly-sprung, this was not a sports car. This standard 390 cu. in. V8 makes 315 hp but takes 11 seconds to reach 60 mph.
1967 Volvo P1800S at Twomey Auto Works in S. Austin
Twomey’s is a first-rate body and paint shop, having replaced two doors on my BMW after an unfortunate event in Dallas at a recent Thanksgiving trip.
