Hot Rods Let's See Some Fiat Topolino's

I did a search but couldn't find a dedicated thread too these little monsters so lets see some of what were one of (if not thee) coolest body styles to vever be turned into a drag car.

 

The Magic Muffler Machine when it was purple. Modern Rod Mar. '65.

 

I love these little beasts.

 

Originally built about 25 years ago by Linville and Edwards (DJ Louvers) to race nostalgia (Anderson glass body, homebuilt 2x4 frame, flea market front end and wheels, flea market Highland quickchange and Schroeder steering, old circle track 3 3/8 x 4 flatty) , then sold to Dennis Clifford who ran it for several years and then remodeled in recent years by the late Doug Adams, updated cage/paint, engine etc. Pics are from the Adams era at the now defunct New England Hot Rod Reunion.

 

I took this one at the Meltdown Drags in 2014.

 

This was always a favorite of mine:

 

This is Jim Miles first Magic Muffler Fiat. Note, it is an original steel body. This one got wadded up, and a new glass bodied car was built to replace it. The second car is the one puking it's guts all over the LIONS strip.

This one is quite old but plenty of eye candy.
