    upload_2025-12-12_15-47-37.jpeg I know of one very similar to this here on Cape Cod the guy owned a bunch of old race cars and he past from the widow maker artery blockage and went in his sleep a couple years ago,and left them all to his daughter but not sure how many have ***les. The coupe had an extended front frame and deep recessed firewall and straight axle and spool rear. It would be neat for the street. And it's 4 sale

    I like that name! DRAGROD! Does my car qualify? It runs in the high 10s and its all steel, with a 4 speed, if that helps me get into the dragrod club. IMG_2269.jpeg

    It still looks basically the same two owners later. They changed to American 5 spokes, installed an automatic and took off the 3x2 and installed an Edelbrock 4bbl, but otherwise it’s still the same.
    Great thread…..

    Here's one that got my attention back in the mid to late 60's at Sydney's, Castlereagh Drag Strip.
    "The Undertaker" by Roger Hoare.

    This is mine, not real fast (runs 11.5) but still good for 1200 mile road trips.

    Does "dirt" drags count?
