History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

Muttley you have been holding out on me.

 

Those are all from that huge Craigslist score a couple years back.

 

Hands down, my favorite drag car of all time. Does anybody know if this car still exists?
What a thread...

 

Really sad he was taken too early, but better to go making an all out pass than to waste away from the cancer.

 

Vintage ad referring to my father.

 

OUCH!

 

Hey, I remember doing lawn work to get the money to pay for admission, pit pass, food and Drag News on the day your dad's car was to appear at Irwindale. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune sports section always had big photo ads promoting Irwindales events. Your dad's car was being presented as a legitimate 200 MPH funny, a huge deal then. I recall seeing it run. It was worth the sweat.

 

Hi WCD, those were great times for sure. The car is currently being restored back east. Any chance you have you have some pic's of the car?

 

This has probably already been posted but what the hell. It's not in motion but I like it.

 

No I am afraid not.
