Viva la Maquina

Celebrate your passion for machines! Our channel is for machine lovers, with an emphasis on automotive content. We bring you to great events, like auctions, car shows, museums and others. Occasionally we will bring you to our own Rancho Cucamonga, Florida, where we work on our own project cars. Our purpose is to bring you great automotive entertainment with some historic and technical background. If it moves and it rolls, we like it!

We are a family-oriented channel directed to the mechanically inclined. The videos are in English, with some multi-lingual references. A clean sense of humor, without using made up drama reveals factual data interpreted to the best of our knowledge. You will love it! Gracias!

    There are those who drag race then there's Don Garlits. Big Daddy forgot more about drag race tunings than us younger guys will ever know

    That is correct. At the beginning, when he started his little garage with his brother and wife, he worked all day on customer cars, and worked all evening on his own race cars. For over 10 years he was doing National Guard on weekends and summers. In 2966 Chrysler gave him a boat, and he still has it, still looks fairly new. He never talk about straight vacations.

    Don Garlits is a living drag racing legend. I'm in my 60's and I can remember reading and watching Don Garlits in the 60's through the 70's. It's great that Don is still around so more people can visit one of the legends.

    Yes, 60hp is correct. Nice replica but the rear axle is incorrect as well as the body mounted fuel filler access. Also has the bolt in hump in the floor to accommodate the larger T-90 transmission. I have a 42 MB.
