Today’s wallpaper is a backyard engineering legend with serious racing pedigree. Hit the jump for all the details on an American road racing legend.
Built in 1959, by Max Balchowsky, Old Yeller 2 raced for nearly 20 years against factory specials from the likes of Porsche, Maserati and Ferrari. Dan Gurney, Carroll Shelby, and Bob Bondurant were just a few of the big name drivers who spent quality time behind the wheel of this backyard special.
I was lucky enough to see it at the Reno Historics a few years ago. It’s always a special treat to see an actual piece of history that is still being driven on the racetrack.
The current owner of the car has a great website about the car’s historic and current racing exploits it’s really worth a look.
