Speed Costs Money ~ How Fast Do You Want To Go ?

Famous for Hot Cars flying down {south} on West Broadway {One-Way street}, right in front of the Speed Shop.
What about the CAR Paul???

I have kept in contact with Lee Quinones, who lives just down the street where Manhattan Speed used to be. He was a starting line "official" @ one time. Today he owns a very sinister black 65 Plymouth & is a very famous artist in the NY area.

I spoke with the owner @ the time of Manhatan speed, Joe Doto, on a couple occasions, & he told me he never had any sponsorship with any hemi dart. So, I'm totally confused with the association of the two. This is why pictures are REALLY important seeing the name on the front fender
