Very nice. The injected floppers provided excellent close racing abck then. It was not uncommon to find 20 of them contest for an slot in the 8 car show

Wow this is the first and only Olds altered wheelbase I can remember seeing. Anybody got any more?

Nice find ts3x65mph

 

There were two of them.The red car was wiped out in a towing accident,I think in '66.The Black car is from '67. Dennis Doubleday

 

hmmm, I had heard it was the same car with upgraded lights on both ends? Lutz and Lunburg ran out of the MN area. Only AWB olds I know of. They did run Olds power though, not a 394 but the 'modern' Olds like the Terrifying Tornado and Hairy Olds did.

Well there you go.Thanks James and Steve. Dennis Doubleday

 

Love that '65 Falcon! Looks like an AWB '64 Dodge in the far lane?

 

I love this post!

 

Note how nicely they elongated the rear wheel opening and kept the factory look of the original flare.
