Features Altered Wheelbase Picture Thread

You're probably thinking of Nick & Joanne Iarussi's car.

 

A bit OT for the HAMB, but for your edification...

 

yes sir that is the one i remember from maple grove raceway 70s or 80s thanks for posting pictures . anyone know if car is still around today. be nice to see if it survived all these years. thanks jim

 

^^^^^^^ same here.

 

Surely some of you guys around Macedonia, OH (where the Iarussi's are evidently from) can do your own Google research!

 

This is a copy of a handout I got from Dick, when he came to the Northwest in '65, along with a couple of clippings from the paper. The small one refers to a race between Mark Danekas and Preston Honea.

 

well it was at the 2012 Thompson Gasser Reunion, so it seems to be alive and well

 

car looks better without all the decals, considering car has been around this long, it really looks good thanks for posting jim

 

The silver car in post 1482, is the black godzilla car? How kool is that! Stan

 

car in post 1482 is a different car, check wheel wells, car in post 1499 is a picture of godzilla dated 1969,has iarussi on front fender

 

Altered wheelbase for a different purpose

 

I thought so, but I really couldn't tell with all the decals! But now I know what a silver 55 chevy with AWB would look like. I think it would be cool! It still would be nice to know if its still around? Stan

 

hey stan ,i remember this silver car from when i worked in a phillips 66 service station in mid to late 60s. the guy would drive car on street. i have some feelers out on trying to find out about the where abouts. if i find any info, i will post thanks jim cornelius

 

Godzilla

 

Best thread ever!!! Lets not forget Bobby Woods factory sponsored 1965 Chevelle built for a brand new NHRA class called Funny car!!

 

Cornelius#2, that would be great. It would realy be great to know how well it did back then? Times, and speed. Stan

 

Counts in my book.....

Re: Altered Wheelbase Picture Thread

 

New addition to the fleet. After some tuning, a wheel change and some warm weather, we will be at the track

 

sweet 65! Need some specs . . .

 

I knew the fellow who built your new car. He passed away several years ago not long after he built it. Cool car!

 

Great looking car. What engine you running 426, 440, or stroker?

 

Chrysler 440 RB Engine
- Bore 4.380 (+0.060), Stroke 3.750, 452 Cubic Inches
- 14.7 to 1 compression ratio
- Mopar Steel Crank
- Mopar “590” Mechanical Lifter Cam (312 duration)
- Brodix Aluminum Cylinder Heads ; Ported & Flowed by MacDowell
- Edelbrock STR-14 Cross Ram Intake Manifold with Two Holley 660’s

 

Combo sounds good. Low 10's to high 9's in the 1/4?

 

it has run there, but it sounds as though the driver was a bit timid on a slick track.

I would be pleased to be consistant at 10.50.

if the snow ever melts, we are going to give it a thrashing

 

I think its real nice, congrants you ol proud papa......goin to the meltdown?

 

no meltdown for me
