The Mustang
No one does old and cool like Hugh Hefner, but 75-year-old Bruce Wasserburger isn't far behind. Unlike the Hef, it has nothing to do with Bruce's ability to pick up big-busted blondes one-third his age, although we certainly don't think that there's anything wrong with that. While his peers are content piddling around in fiberglass street rods powered by lame 350 crate motors, Bruce is busy manhandling the 269/276-at-0.050 solid roller cam in his stroked 351C-powered '73 Mustang. He concedes that it drives terribly on the street, but to him it's better than throwing a limp-wristed bumpstick in it, and bragging about fuel mileage and streetabilty to his buddies while sipping on a can of Ensure. He's not just a talker, either. The 625hp Cleveland is tied to a Tremec five-speed, and he doesn't let off the gas until it's time to shift at 7,500 rpm. At Los Angeles County Raceway--a track infamous for its thin air and poor prep--Bruce ripped off an 11.16 at 123 mph before the place shut down. Like we said, he's the Hugh Hefner of hot rodding.
