Hey man, youi're welcome. This Chevy is representative of that 'cool' look, for lack of a better term, from drag racing's, and not coincidentally,...
Nope, just your standard 3" reducers with tri-flange. I did see those 4-bolt reducers on a set of headers on a friend's car once upon a time long...
Great pic! Full-size too! :) Pete
Without going through the trouble of looking through my old issues of Car Craft (circa 1969), etc. I seem to recall that JC Penney A/FX brand...
The sound AND the look. Unless that turbocharged rice burner can run in the 11's, my money is on the Ford. With a good tune-up, drag slicks, etc....
And one lone AMC Hurst SC/rambler... [IMG] Pete
More Chevys...:rolleyes: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Pete

Eddie, On second look, they're not Buick wheels on that 1960 Plymouth Stocker but certainly do come closest appearance-wise with their...
I had that problem--bad--once upon a time in 1979 when I installed a 750 cfm Carter AVS carb on my 1970 383-powered, 4-speed Roadrunner with 3.23...
Something with lots of torque! :) Yes, I noticed those unusual looking Magnum 500's; they look like the wheels Buick used on their cars...
Check your PM and I'll tell ya. Pete :)
Dom, or anyone else, any info about this car? Sorry, I don't mean to go off-topic but I'd really like to know. Until now, I never knew Knoblock...
What's the deal with the hood scoop on Strickler's car? It's my first time seeing this. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Pete
Eddie, The only reason I can think of is for maximum weight transfer. Pete
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. It's a pity the guy had his "old Ford" sitting outside "in the woods in the weeds" for ten years before getting...
Thanks, Eddie. I post 'em as I find 'em. Regards, Pete

Up 'til you mentioned it, I always thought it was a Pro-only event thanks to the (lack of) coverage in the major car magazines of the day. Pete
That's the first thought that came to my mind, Bill, but wasn't 100% sure because I only recall the later versions of their decal. [IMG] Pete
Speaking of AHRA, here's a mint condition, sew on jacket patch I bought at a swap meet about twenty years ago. [IMG] Pete
