Cars that make your jaw drop.

I think I saw that car at the Sonoma Festival of Speed!
 
The guy who owns the shop where I used to work (a long time ago) restored this Riley chassis Pontiac.

It doesn't really make my jaw drop, but the guy that owns the Senna spends money like I would like to think I would if I was a billionaire. He showed up to one of our events and decided he didn't like the color of the 570 GT4 we brought, so he bought the display car on the spot. Then he bought another to keep in Europe.

It's a Riley, not Huffaker? I really don't know a lot about them, but thought they were Huffaker.

I know Huffaker ran a lot of Valvoline sponsored Pontiacs. Maybe I got it wrong but I thought he told me it was a Riley chassis. Its front engine and it could easily accept bodywork for Camaros or Mustangs or other V-8 GT cars of that era.
 
I know this is out of place here but I couldn't help but think of this..

Beautiful! There was a white one at the Monterey Historic races dicing it up with some Porsches several years ago.

I used to own a Vega, and always wished it could be a V8 Monza!

Did some work on the intake/exhaust on mine and it would keep up with or take a 305 Camaro, back in the day. On the curves it actually did decently...
 
I had a '78 Pontiac Sunbird Coupe that I got for $500 sometime in the late '80s. It cured me of any nostalgia for street cars of that era. IMSA race cars are still cool.

Oh, if it's front engine then you are probably right. The Huffaker Fieros were mid engine.
