So I take it it's NOT a 58 Chevy clip LOL No disparagement of the car but the headlights jumped out at me as looking like a Chevy. I really am a Ford fan but in the formative years of my first real job as an apprentice before I was even out of high/trade school was at a Plymouth Chrysler Imperial dealer so I can never think badly about Mopars in fact I can proudly say I have actually worked on big ones like that but it was many moons ago.

Hi guys it's been awhile . I hope everyone had a great holiday ! Here is a new picture of one of the cars my Dad dove that I found recently
Few racers squeezed more serious winning out of a single classic ’33 Willys chassis than Mansfield, Ohio’s Virgil Cates. Known as “The Flying Junkman”, Cates’ began running the ’33 in the 60’s, as a Chevy powered C/Gasser before pulling the front cap, bolting on a Model A radiator grille shell and declaring the car a C/Altered. With it Cates won the NHRA World Championship Comp Eliminator title in 1965. Next came 426 Hemi power and B/Altered class for the well-traveled ’33 Willys.
Here Jeg, Sr., faces the California Speed & Sport AA/Altered driven by Arnie Swensen. The Camaro has a blown big-block Chevy for A/GS. Swensen’s rear tires are bouncing off the ground, as was common with this car! (Jim Hill photo, ’68 Springnationals, Englishtown, NJ)
Jim Warter’s Joint Venture C-2 Corvette was built for dual purpose racing, as a Gasser, in Modified Eliminator, or for Comp Eliminator, in D/Altered. The wheelstanding ‘Vette was highly successful in both, and Warter traveled far and wide to race. Here he leaves, wheels-up at the NHRA Nationals, running in D/Altered. (Photo by Jim Hill)
Byron Stack crewed for Shores & Hess and said he remembered Goldfinger blaring that song when they came up to run, and it was absolutely deafening.
I missed that the first time around and then was looking things over and read the caption, that must have been wild.
