    Hi, Kenny from sweden here. A friend of mine has an old FED ch***ie built by Mark Williams. Sent all the number on the ch***ie to Mark Williams, and they were able to tell me that the ch***ie was bought back in -68 by R.C Williams from Kansas, after that i spent hours on google trying to find som pics and info on the car, but all i can find are info on his twin engined FED that he and Ray Motes supposedly had later on (William & Motes Twin). Would be awesome if someone had pictures or info on this car, also if someone knew how to get in touch with R.C or someone else that might know about this car.

    Hope someone can help me, and thanks for a great forum guys!

    It's always amazing how cars end up all over the world. How did your car get over there?

    Don: My friend has a tradingbusiness, and he i imported the car to sweden, but he didnt get any info on it, so the only thing i know about the car is what i got from mark williams.

    dragsled: Wow that would be awesome!, hope you get in touch with him! :)

    aircap: Sure hope you are wrong, :/

    fenderless: Ahh okay, small world! :p, a friend of my dad´s actually owned the Norrlandsjeepen 3, and my dad lent him his engine for a year and they were down att Santa Pod. But i think thats already been discussed on SVDA:s forum :)

    Send an e-mail to dale@rpmcat.com and ask Dale Wilch. He ran a fuel dragster out of KC in the same time period and probably knows something about the car.

    You might try contacting him at:
    R C Williams, PO Box 273, Russell, KS 67665
    Phone 1-785-483-2101
    He had his twin front engine dragster at KKOA Salina
    this summer. Photos of that car are on Carnut.com
    under KKOA Salina 2012.
