Man I dig those Willies.. especially the white one.. sweet

 

Oh woow.....aww dude that thing is soo friggin cool! I have a 74 Gremlin myself thats a drag car. wow I never knew about this one.

 

Oh shiiit man...wow whee are these kick ass Gremlins coming from??

 

Hey,whats the skinny on the AMX and the AMCs around it? Myself and prob Don Moyer wanna know

My old 37.

Late 70's


How it sits today, current owner doesn't want to sell it back

 

This Dodge Dart was run as Don Garlits Funny Dart [ or something like that ] back at the time funny cars were first starting to haul ass . Lots of strange things were showing up at the drag strip, and this one was as strange as any of them ! I don't know if Garlits actually built,drove , or had any thing to do with it other than putting one of his motors in it, but it did run as' Don Garlits funny dart[ or whatever] for a while.

The tip-off for me was the doors, which are clearly Fiat. I never even knew Fiat made a delivery, and your body looks outstanding.

 

A friend of my dad had this A for years.Used it as a dog house.Was set up for Chevy engine & stick.Olds rear moved foward 8 inches & mounted right to the frame.

 

Is this the old Lil John built Knotts car?

 

wasnt the "knotts" car a wheel stander?

 

Not a clue.

 

Drug this one outta the woods in Ohio a few years back...

 

I saw that on another thread a while back. Man, I think about it at least once a week. Love to turn it into a salt car.

 

Hey Kev do you still have the thames?

or where did it go to??? Ron....

 

Sold it, don't remember where it went. It was picked up by a friend of the new owner. I never heard back from him. I thought I might as it was a very rough shell.

 

The white Willys with Magnesium wheels really is incredible. Can you even imagine stumbling onto something like that for sale for cheap and trying your hardest to keep your cool. I'd be freakin'! Shaking hands, pupils dilated, stuttering!!!! I'd have to take a friend to do the negotiating.

 

this one belongs to my friends cousin.....

 

Little Red Wagon #2..

 

I remember that delivery, pro streeted right? You going to restore it. Its cool

 

Famous wheelstander!

Knott's should have bought it back for permanent display!

 

Awesome find, what happened to it after you drug it home?

 

bttt

 

Brought this out to California after it was found rotting away in Ohio...








Got it restored this far before I lost interest.




It's in Maryland or New Hampshire at a good home that will do the restoration right.

BTW mine is the display car, never ran but still painted by Roth.

 

I've looked but can't find the picture of a tow-type truck in a junkyard with a FED as the boom! I remember a pully hanging off the front axle crossmember with a cable running thru it to lift things with. The FED pointed near straight up and the drivers' bucket was located in the bed of the truck! Anybody else remember that one?

 

Oh man,this thread damn near brings tears to my eyes. To those who have found and saved our history,THANK YOU! My former avatar(Bud Faubel's 64 Dodge 440 HT) was found abandoned by the guy I bought it from;I still feel like a shit for losing(selling) it myself.

I remember seeing the black Gremlin when I lived in the Detroit area back in '74-5;only saw it a couple of times,but wow,what a memory.

 

You still got it? You get it into the living room yet
Is the running one still around?
