Dustin,
Not yet. I'm going to contact Garlits and see if I can get some info. I need to ID my steering wheel as it could be the key to the dragsters identity.

 

Cast aluminum hand grips.

 

Ive got the same wheel on my injected nitro car. Mike

 

Wow, cool find. Sure looks like it hasn't been messed with too much

 

Other than brackets for a sbc and glide all the the flexie car remains original. A true sitting for 35 years garage find..

Now I wish I could find its history

 

Do you have any idea who made it and when it was made ??

 

Jeff, try sending some pictures of your dragster to riceman here on the HAMB. His name is Roger Lee and his knowledge on the old dragsters is outstanding. He may be able to help ID your car.

Thanks Dustin I will give it a try.

 

A Woody "flexie" car is pretty rare.

 

I lucked out on this one

 

Put my woody in the world of wheels car show. What a response to it. I had one guy tell me he is getting a bag full of money soon and wants to buy it. lol Seems like no one had seen the car as the Death Dealer econo rail in the 1970's around the Pittsburgh area. There were a lot of local drag racing historians at the show and no one recognized it. Ill keep on looking.

Dustin it was good meeting you sorry for taking off so quick. I got a 1st place plaque .

 

Good meeting you also Jeff. Glad to hear you got a first place out of the deal. .... You didn't tell me it was for sale!!


Dustin

 

I don't have it up for sale. But you know the old saying. Everything is for sale for the right price. lol

 

The engine that was in my woody had a name of the engine builder.

Stamped on block was built by Toad Hall.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff
