Gerhard's TAUNUS 1.6 GL

TAUNUS PERF1

Gerhard got this really well preserved TAUNUS 1.6 GL from his grandfather.

 
TAUNUS PERF2

Although the TAUNUS was registrated in 2/77 for the first time, he passed the German TÜV without any complaints (this is what I'm dreaming of sometimes, too...).

 
TAUNUS PERF3

The car has less than 80.000 km and a beautiful venyle roof, too.

1957 TAUNUS 17M P2 as DRAG CAR

TAUNUS OSI 1

A 1957 Ford TAUNUS 17M P2 as a DRAG RACER? George had it. The body was found in a junk yard in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and was built into a Dragster.

 
TAUNUS OSI 2

Before George bought the Dragster it had an Oldsmobile engine, a 301 cubic inch Chevy engine and then a six cylinders Chevy engine. George installed a 427 cubic inch Chevy Motor, which produced over 500 HP.

 
TAUNUS OSI 2

With this, the TAUNUS Drag Car drove over 134 miles/h (Unfortunately I don't know how many times George won his races with it). Although you don't find many original things on the car, you will notice the TAUNUS...

 
TAUNUS OSI 1

George calls the comparison between orginal and drag version "lion and mouse", which is quite true, becuase the original car had 60HP and drove 125 km/h.
