The '56 is now owned by Rick Pike a friend of the Johnsons. If you go to Auto Imagery and type his name in the search box
you can see the great shape its in today. He has even run it as a SS/FM
car a couple times with a 280"er, 10.50 ets. The Fairlane is Jim VanCleve Jr's old car now owned by Horris Johnson who runs it occasionally, and it
still has the same paint job.

 

The smoky aftermath of Garlits vs. Bobby Langley at a Houston Drag Raceway match race in 1964. All that smoke was normal in those days! Garlits won.

 

The theme is motion, yeah....? Here then is the quintessence, perhaps:

Wait wait wait.... was this the same 63 that was in hot rod magazine?

 

Welcome Cole, good to see you here.

bucher in gas dragster in far lane...

 

Bucher as in "Jim Bucher"?

 

Far side is the Ridege Route Terrors. Bored/Stroked 283 that ran with the best. 283's were the norm as the newly introduced 327 still new, and thus hard and costly to get

 

Very nice. And dont forget, Monday is trash night, Cole

 

Wasn't this a couple of wiseguys from New York.......Had a bunch of bodies in the back!!!!! Also heard they held the world record for a wheel stand on the interstate!!!!!

 

that be the one.....another in a slower motion...

 

I got to see Bucher win the last coveted top gas dragster title offered by the NHRA at the 71 Supernationals. I found it especially cool of his use of the Mr Gasket clear plexiglass valve covers. You could see the rocker arms move.

 

i was looking for a pair of those for my old anglia....they're neat... on a side note , a friend of mine just sold one of the blown 327's out of the twin motor car..... no clear valve covers though...

 

Hey Brandon does your friend have Bucher's twin car?

 

I am diggin the little injected gas C/D on the bottom frame. Forever always a big fan of the open wheel comp eliminator cars of long ago

 

anyone have a side shot of the assinination funny corvair

 

not my picture but pretty close to a side view.

 

nah....he had it in his t bucket , his c cab , and a couple others....he used to be heavy in the merc and kustom scene....

 

another edgewater shot..... brandon

 

You have good taste my man. The Corvairs, while not my favorite production vehicles by a long shot, took on a whole different nuance when the body was distorted to funny car like proprortions. BTW, the Screaming Eagle Corviar of Jay Maybeck was orginally the Super Shaker owned by Pete Seaton
