Did you know that there was a few AMC Pacers that were raced off road in the 70′s? Have you read our article on the AMC Ramblers that raced in the 1969 Baja 500? There is a ton of photos and information about these cars and others on the Class 6 thread on Race Dezert.

Earlier this month, we wrote a short article about 3 Ford Edsel that used to race in off road desert races in the 60′s though to the 80′s. With the Swift’s racing their restored Ford Edsel off road race car in the NORRA Mexican 1000 this week, we have been coming across more photos for your pleasure. Thank you to Class 3 Racing.com for most of the photos in this post. So what do you think? Personally, I think it is so ugly it is kewl!

The NORRA Mexican 1000 vintage off road race is on this week, so expect to see a lot of photos of vintage desert race vehicles over the next few days! This first group of photos are from this post on Race Dezert, along with this and this one from Off Road Mexico. You will recognize a lot of the vehicles below from other Desert Racing related articles we have posted on Off Road Action in the past.

Now for something different…even though it is not 4×4, I think you will enjoy it. This 1934 Model A was apparently modified with larger tires. However, I know that several mail delivery cars in that era were modified like this to get through the snow and mud. Damn cool! Via…

Our series of articles on vintage off road race cars has been very popular. We have seen Datsuns, AMC Ramblers, and of course, James Garners Olds 442. How about a Ford Edsel?

ford edsel Ford Edsel Off Road Race Car?

This thread on Race Dezert has been great! I started it to gather information about Class 6 cars and a bunch of old car racers have come out of the wood work. As you will read, they have a ton of information between them! In regards to the Edsels, there was at least 3 of them! Ray Swift owns the restored Bill Stroppe built car, which you see in the two photos above. The car was originally raced by Karl Weber and was found abandoned in 1989 by Ray Swift. Over a number of years, the car was restored to its current showroom shape. The Swifts, as per their website , they will be racing the car at the upcoming NORRA 1000 historic race , along with the James Garner Olds Banshee. Another short article on the Swift Edsel is this one. The Ed Everett car is sitting down in Mexico, as you can see below. Do you have any more information about the Edsel off road race cars?

Last week, we showed you photos of the James Garner Olds 442 off road race car rebuild. Owner Ron Johnson is putting his heart and sole into restoring the car the for NORRA 1000 vintage race in April. We thought it would be neat to post some photos of when Ron found the car and what kind of shape it was. I think everyone will agree that Ron has done a hell of a job! Keep your eyes on Off Road Action…next week we will have more current photos of the rebuild!
