Hot Rods Pix of '55-'57 Ford Gassers - the "other" Tri-Fives

Being your a "57dude",you may want to know that there is a differance in the Fords.Two wheel bases were had.Car at left is the expencive cheap model.Car on right is the cheap expensive.

 

I like this '56

 

I've always loved that '57. If I remember right the sweetheart was named Riki. Any idea what magazine that pic was in?

 

Here's a cool one: Don't remember where I got this pic

 

A few more . . .

 

The Gun Fighter '57 Altered Wheel base car was one of the more famous Ford tri-fives:

 

as Toad woulda said "What a Babe! What a *****in Babe!!"

 

I may have already posted this one . . . if so, oh well, its worth posting twice. This is one bad '57:

 

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I know several of these cars belong to people here on the HAMB, and I am hoping they'll jump in here and tell us more about their cars, and throw on some updated pix! For instance, this one . . .

 

. . . and this one. If memory serves me right, this was an East Coast racer from back in the day. Its cool as it was, with fibergl*** front end and the rear wheel wells sectioned up, but the direction the current owner is taking it is pretty bad ***, as it now has a straight axle and radiused wheel wells. Lots of at***ude. I would LOVE to own this car:

 

Hope he doesnt mind me posting the pix. We all appreciate his car, so hopefully he'll take it as a compliment!

 

Here is another one that is a cool survivor. I remember seeing it for sale on Ebay a few years back. The current owner is here on the HAMB, and is having a great time driving the **** out of it with his family on board. Cool car:

 

I don't know anything about this one, but its interesting . . .

 

Same with this one . . .

 

Did I already post this one? I'm losing track now

 

The "GUNFIGHTER" was ownd and driven by Gary Coe of Portland.Oregon (Speeds Towing) this car was/is a northwest legend and I thought it was destroyed maybe not.Not sure if this is the real thing or a damn good "tribute car".......He's still in to the car thing including this truck that was all over the country for a while.........

 

That Efie is outstanding. I think Ive seen a magazine feature on it. Anyone know if that blue altered wheel base is the authentic Gun Fighter?

 

Awesome thread guys!! One day when I have a squillion dollars I'm a get me a hilborn injected y block ford straight axle to play with

I think one of the Executioners of London has a straight axle 57 ford too but I can't find a pic of it? I remember seeing it and a green early 60s 2 door falcon g***er whilst over there a few years back..

 

Here are a couple of one of my favorite Ranchwagon, not sure if it is a G***er, but sure is a Tri-Five Ford Drag car.

 

did ya forget the pic's man??
