    Not a straight axle car, but a B/Stock '64 GTO campaigned by Packer Pontiac.

    try the book Diggers ,Funnies, G***ers,and Altereds too.
    there is also a book called funny cars of the sixties.
    The AWB straight axel gto's were some of the first "funny" cars

    Wow that Zettle Bros. Car is awesome, Thanks. I'll keep looking.
    The Car we are thinking to put a srtaight axle under is actually a LeMans with GTO appointments added so, making it a drag(looking)car isn't such a bad thing.
     
  10. Dammit, don't post that picture any more. I make mushroom marks on the wall every time it is posted. That car is awesome!

    I've seen a pic of a straight axle GTO called the Zombie. Can't seem to find it right now tho. I think it might belong to the guys campaigning a nostalgia car of the same name...

    Try looking under Rob Bruce. He was the one who originally built the Zombie.

    Here's a picture of mine near the end of it's racing days. If anyone recognizes it I would apreciate learning more about its history. As far as I can tell it raced in California & Southern Oregon.

  20. Wasko, I bought my 66 Chevy big block wagon from this guy. He was going to use it as his tow car for this one.
