I didn't read the whole thread, but back in Linden NJ, there used to be a real hot 56 Chevy, baby blue metallic, teardrop hood scoop, radiused wheel wells, roll bar, I believe. I once dated the guy's younger siste, Allison Kaiser, and my friend, Jack Karamus actually bought the car after it sat unused for a LONG time. I helped him fix it up, but later he sold it, and I don't know where it went. Unfortunately! The car's name was : "Pure Pandemonium"!
Hemi Honker ... I always liked the goose painted on the side Thinking about naming my OT ridge runner "Dollars into dimes" if it ever makes it to paint.
Read this entire thread and loved the names! I've been fasenated by car names since I started racing, the imagination out there never ceases to amaze me. I have a '65 Barracuda painted PPG Light Lavender. I want the '60's lettering on the back window of either "Nice Glass!" or "Nice Piece of Glass". Some of the names at BIR that I can think of: Mr. Twister Drag Queen - Early 70s Cuda in Panther Pink, Pink Panther in a bikini, raced by a woman out of Bandimere Candy Wagon - Nomad with red and white striped roof that does awesome wheel stands Neighborhood Nuisance Somebodys Nightmare The Agitator Fast N Furious - Plymouth Fury III, was name this well before the movies Hook - Guy that drives it has a prosthetic arm, logo from the Dustin Hoffman movie on the door Wild Thing Street Cleaner Quarter Flash Devil in a Green Dress The Color of Money Going Bananas Teachers Pet - Retired school teacher The Instigator Shock Therapy Motovation Insanity She Devil - Mom & Daughter share the name, daughter has it on her Jr. to match Moms Miss Behavin - Girls Jr dragster Nitro Bunny Rumble Fish Woulda, Shoulda, Cuda - 67 Barracuda Bisquick - Biscayne No Adult Supervision Snot Rod - Lime green 70s wagon
Green Monster Green Mamba Chicken Coupe "Millar's car" Yellow Fang Glass Slipper Bean Bandits And of course You Know Who and his Tiger Striped "Gay Pontiac" G.T.O. Frantic 4 The Hippie Beachcomber Grumpy's Toy Wonder Wagon L. A. Hooker The Inch Pincher Swamp Rat, Just because the name fits Don Garlits so well But Roger's "Color Me Gone" Was the first one I thought of too.
Here is mine. The first picture is how the car looked from 1980-86. The second is to the present. Our Race Team Name is The No Frills Racing Team. Because it was run in the early days with hardly any money and it stuck.
Actually there was a good name that was in your post that would be good and different . Never heard of it before either ! Just a thought ! ~When It's Done~ Retro Jim
In 1976 our A/Fuel cae was named the Proud American. The best I have seen is the Richins and Pierman Iron Horse AA/FD.
Not bad! I could see that. Maybe "Izit Dunyet?" Lol... I'm not expecting any kind of longevity from the engine, and I actually sorta hope it blows early on, just for shits and giggles. Hey! How 'bout "Shitz-N-Gigglez"?
Haven't read all 24 pages but the one name I always liked was on a O/T 70ish Cuda/Challanger (been a long time).. Tempus Fugit... time flies in Latin. Sounded dirty to a 12 year old.
That has one of only 2 made "Craig Breedlove" front clips. and the car is one of the 52 Hurst prepped "SS AMX's" it later went on to be the Sheriff of Nottingham its currently being restored
A couple I raced with over the years. Creek Bank Filler, [a 55 Chevy] Shine Hauler. [A 65 Chevelle 4 Door] Panic
I had a 69 camaro called "Thumper", a 67 Camaro called "Malfunction". I nick named my 41 Willys coupe "Bad Gas". There was a 64 or 65 GTO called "Eradicator" out of Illinois and a 70's Camaro called "The Streaker" with a really ugly naked lady painted on the side from Oklahoma.
Growing up in my neighborhood there were several cars. 68 Camaro "Ratisfaction II" 66-67 Chevelle "Ratisfaction" 70 Chevelle "Ground Poundin Rat" ? Chevy Vega "Quicktrip"
high winder, roamin red, raped ape. 7th avenue express, time is tight, the spoiler, just a few that i recall seeing at the track in the 60s
Rumble Guts ('40 Austin) - Saw this car race many times at Utica-Rome Speedway in central NY, back in the 70s.
The Chicken Hawk ('51 Studebaker) - Never saw it race, but Ted Harbit (owner/driver) is a Studebaker drag racing legend.
Greorge Krem's "Plain Brown Wrapper" 64 Studebaker R3 Challenger always kicks some serious butt at the annual Pure Stock Drag Races. Driven by Ted Harbit.
