    How about the "Pizza Man" Gremlin of Earl Britt?
    This car replaced the early model Corvette Earl raced with an
    inline six...
    My friend, swampratxxx, and I found this car sitting in a shed in 1983,
    and gave it a good college try to buy it, or parts of it...
    (the doors alone would make for great garage or den art)
    To no avail...
    Unsure if it is still there or not...but I doubt it...

    (my friend took the photos, I usually only post those that I have taken personally)

    Always wondered what ever happened to that wheelstander, I know at one time several of Bill's old cars including a few of the "LA Darts" were stored up around Inyokern Ca.

    WHOA!!!!
    That's bitchen' Kev!!!!!
     
  19. Wow seeing that Knotts Berry farm wheelstander is sad. I thought it was one of the coolest of the breed, after it was retired it used to sit at the Berry Farm and I would see it there and think what a waste seeing it now OMG.
    That one of Garlits roadster Dart funny makes me wonder I thought it was at his museum?? and if not, why not he has everyother darn thing he ever owned.
    These pics are great just a little sad for all us old drag fans, although I am not in much better shape than some of the cars... oh well keep 'em coming

    This is the first Fiat sedan delivery I have seen as a old drag car. Would really like to know more about it.

    This is interesting and sick all at the same time.
    Like watching a wreck.
    Were any of these saved?
