    Most likely the most famous Drag car in NZ and yes that is a large Hemi peaking out. JW

    Just of interest, this was half way going to the Blow Out. That is litres not gallons and the cost per litre is bottom left. With the car towing the trailer with the RPU on it, it gets better MPG than the RPU on it's own.:(:oops: JW

    Are they bike tires on the front of this modified? Rears appear to be cross-plies, wonder how it handles?

    Would appear to be and wouldn't handle any worse than cross plies. I have seen it's for sale for $45K NZ. JW

    There is about 3.8 litres in a US gallon so that would be about $11. 40 a gallon.:( JW

    Great pictures thanks much for posting. Looks like a great show/collection. Would love to know more about this OHV flathead. Does not look like an Ardun

    They are NZ made head covers, it's still a side valve. Just dress up from back in the day. JW
