The Ferrari / Ford connection was in place long before Ford attempted to buy Ferrari, as seen above. Ford actually DID acquire Ferrari, at least...
My old man has a 50's vintage Seeburg (interestingly, similar to what's at the beginning of "Happy Days") and a late 30's/early 40's vintage...
As the father of 2 young girls, the thought of my children not breathing in their crib was always frightening to me. Perhaps I am overprotective...
That friggin blows - some of my early memories of Schroeder, Riggle, Poole, and Golden in those bad rides...RIP
Richard Schroeder died??? LAME, that sucks...RIP - a legend along with Bob Riggle, Chick Poole, and "Maverick" Bill Golden...
That eBay thing is interesting, but there were definitely more than 3 made. Minimally, there was the Bug, the Pegasus, the Ozark Mule, the Dr....
I remember! It was the Ozark Mule - that's the other Turbonique Drag Axle car I remember, pic below (do a Google on Turbonique, you'll find a...
It's all good - my apologies if I mis-read, I was stuck on the "stock" part rather than the Charger Daytona piece. It wasn't stock, but it was a...
I was doing a search on FEDs and came across this. I've seen the Drag City site - last update is 2006. Jobe is present in some of the posts,...
Attended my first race at E'Town, 1970. My old man was racing in the '50s through the '60s, culminating with an Anglia gasser, non-supercharged....
No - gassers aren't just a "style" - I believe the style is born out of necessity - big meats to handle the sheer horsepower of these awesome...
McKee - that's the "Turbonique Drag Axle" on the Pegasus (Cougar?). Pegasus, from what I recall, was a 1965/1966 Mustang Fastback. There were a...
I am partial to Willys' and Anglias (my pops had one), but that Oddy Austin is bad ass!!! Mazmanian had a killer Austin too... Where's the...
Von Rigg - you nailed it, at 150 that thing must be like a death trap. On a closed course, I could see doing it but on public roads that's a...
Buddy Baker did NOT run 200 mph in a stone stock Charger. It was a NASCAR spec, highly modified, Charger Daytona (e.g., wing + front fascia...
Roothawg - that last pic looks like the "Surfer's" car - is it? Interesting shot either way, you can see the driver leaning to one side, I am...
Eaaaasy on the Star Trek dorks ;) At least one of the Two Lane 55's is in AG - do a Google. Two Lane is a weird flick, but DW as the Mechanic...
That Prock & Howell '33 Willys is BAD ASS!
That's a great story! Good luck with it! Sounds like you know every inch of that car and have enough information to do an accurate restore, that...
Rooman, Dumb questions - where did you get it from? How does one find a nostalgic fueler with history behind it? The good thing is that the...
DirtyThirty, Post pics when you can! Love to see it!
Dirty Thirty, What was/is the name of the rail? YOu still have Atco down near there, no?
It'll be big $$ homes for sure. First went to E-town in 1970 at the ripe age of 2. I still have 8mm film of me (with no ear protection) jumping...
Hemi, I hear ya! I'm nothing if not a dreamer, which has lead to some great experiences - I will never give that up!
Congrats! Looks great - that must be a good feeling after pursuing it for so long. From the pic, you have some collection - before I leave this...
Ok, it took me 5 minutes to find out a little more - apparently Tatum owned a Lambo dealership and also owned a legendary Ferrari GTO known as the...
On the Surfers - Sorokin did get killed in an accident and Jobe and Skinner moved on. They were recently feted, and were almost shocked at the...
Sheeeit - name it I collect it - I'm a pack rat: Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars Aurora H.O. scale slot cars and AF/X Trains Hess Trucks Happy Meal...
Listen to Safariknut - he nailed it. What you have are NOT bees, they are likely wasps - paper wasps. Bees (almost any variety including...
Anyone bid on it? Seems like there's been activity...
