Hot Rod City ( in El Cajon) went out of business a couple years ago

This is in the showroom, of the now "East County Collision center". How a full race saturn ends up there, minus the drivetrain... no idea. Hot Rod City was a cool place to look around in, full dealership feel to 30's and 40's customs for sale, think of a Good Guys car show where it's all for sale.

Has a car show on Thursday nights

Cruisin' Italiano Style Cruise Night, 5 to 8 p.m., Thursdays, Pernicano's Restaurant, 1588 E. Main St. (at Broadway), El Cajon. Open to pre-1973 classics and hot rods; music and trophies will be included. Information: (619) 338-5225 or (619) 444-4546.

The only place you'll need to take your car for electrical problems

619-444-7850, tell them the yellow 69 R/T sent you. They may not remember,
'cause once they fix it, it doesn't need to come back. I was there 10 years ago for my Super Bee, and 5 years ago for my R/T
317 North 2nd Ave, El Cahon.
East side of the road, just in the middle of Walgreens, McDonalds, and the car wash.

Things I like, from El Cajon cruise

It is so cool to be surprised by the unexpected, like this old Plymouth having a dual quad hemi

April 25 2007 El Cajon Cruise on Main

It's worth stopping to watch what drives by at the cruise

Under the hood cool stuff

Old 20's and 30's license plates, cool...

1927 and 1930 roadsters, cool!

More Hemi Bee

http://elite-bike.blogspot.com/2007/04/hemi-bee-roams-roads-of-san-diego.html#links

A Hemi Bee roams the roads of San Diego.

Hemi from Summit racing and Indy Cylinder Heads, circa 1998. Crate Motor, and then some.

Look out.

610 HP, 640 Ft / Lbs, Demon Carb, Indy Heads and single plane intake, trunk mounted battery, some extra traction control on the axle, huge exhaust, H pipe, power steering, power brakes, Griffin radiator, a 6 speed Viper trans with 2 over drive gears, fiberglass bumpers, 440 6 pk fiberglass hood in a Road Runner / AAR Cuda rear spring configuration with front hood pins.

This may be the best darn thing to do with a tired old Bee. I know, I had one.

Originally a 383 Bee with a 4 speed. Now even 440 or Hemi correct with the rear side window stainless trim removed. I recall that the 383 bees had the stainless along the bottom of the windows, but the 440 6 pk and Hemi bees didn't, the easy tell, if you were looking for some subtle relatively unmolested item that would give away what it was originally.

WM23H9A251072 just for the curious.

Nice! Notice the pinstriping even on the valve cover

And though the camera wasn't great at getting the shot, nice flying eyeball on the clock. Very cool touch

When madmen customize. Really, really, odd... but not good

Merc front onto a PT Cruiser. Why? Which car didn't this guy like?

A couple odd ball pics from the El Cajon Cruise.... more car pics to come tomorrow

Once was lost but now it's found.... a hemi, and rebirth as a show winner, not a small block any longer

Cool 58 vette
