Not in motion, but Tulsa....Note Troy Green's car. THIS is a nostalgia top fuel car, not what you see at "nostalgia" meets today. Troy said, the new cars are so much easier to drive. That's not the point of it though, is it? I hate the new cars with a purple passion, and being front motored does not a slingshot make...

 

One more from Big Daddy's...another old rear engined car, this one another sidewinder. They really weren't all that rare....

 

Now that is a picture I'd like to see. Since it seems no one else has it, Go dig it out!!! I agree Wild Willie was THE best!

 

It's here, just a few pages back...

 

Yep,pretty sure it's on here.I might have even posted it along with others doing the same.Hard to keep track of all the great pics here.

 

Bingo!

 

Never seen this one.

 

Man,there was some great shit happening back then.Really miss it.

 

This looks a lot like the "Mag-Winder" that Kent Fuller built for Chuck Jones and driven by Jack Chrisman...it was built from magnesium tube, supposed to be ligher than chrome moly, though Fuller had to heli-arc it because the mag powered when Fuller tried to weld it with regular arc...it was originally painted pearl white with a blown Pontiac ...ran on gas at Lion's, where I first saw it....like most sidewinders handling became an issue and it disappeared...never saw it in these colors, but the wide front axle and the body give it away.
