It was a monster in the right hands and a small monster in the wrong hands. But it was still a monster.

 

Posted this car a few pages back. Here's some shots with petty. Info I got is the car was owned by someone at petty enterprises.

 

"The Little Pilgrim" Plymouth was owned by Billy West from Selma NC. It was driven
by Richard Petty on occasion. Billy was close to the Petty family also. He would not need a ticket to get in any race track.

 

Nice to see the shots of Eddie Burl Smith's "West Virginia Hemi", from Parkersburg, WV.

 

Wow, early Fontanini and Nanini. Their later Charger-bodies floppers were oddly cool.

 

@1320 Fan thx again for the info

 

Billy West came by the Petty shop with Roy Hill in the early '80s. Dale Inman snuck up on him while he was sitting in Roy's pickup and grabbed him by the arm. Next thing Dale saw was Billy's pistol against his nose. Old school, match racing, rosin spreading drag racers were a different breed.

 

@guffey Wasn't the 1st flying carpet awb car wrecked in an accident? I feel like I've seen pics of it wrapped around a fence or something.

 

Would the Honkin Hemi '65 Plymouth be the former Shahan Drag-On Lady car?

 

Mopar got it right. Lippy

 

Looks like they're getting serious in that second pic.
