Don't see many big old Mopars like this as altereds. looks like a 58 Chevy front clip???

 

Now, Loudbang, I usually like what ya post.

 

He's a Ford guy you have to give him a brake.
Hotdoggin I lived in Hayes many moons ago.

 

So I take it it's NOT a 58 Chevy clip LOL No disparagement of the car but the headlights jumped out at me as looking like a Chevy.

I really am a Ford fan but in the formative years of my first real job as an apprentice before I was even out of high/trade school was at a Plymouth Chrysler Imperial dealer so I can never think badly about Mopars in fact I can proudly say I have actually worked on big ones like that but it was many moons ago.

Few racers squeezed more serious winning out of a single classic ’33 Willys chassis than Mansfield, Ohio’s Virgil Cates. Known as “The Flying Junkman”, Cates’ began running the ’33 in the 60’s, as a Chevy powered C/Gasser before pulling the front cap, bolting on a Model A radiator grille shell and declaring the car a C/Altered. With it Cates won the NHRA World Championship Comp Eliminator title in 1965.



Next came 426 Hemi power and B/Altered class for the well-traveled ’33 Willys.

 

Awsome Willys...wish i was pld enough back then to have seen these cars

 

Poor Virgil met an untimely end...

 

here's one for sale I have a lot of parts but this a project thanks

 

Here Jeg, Sr., faces the California Speed & Sport AA/Altered driven by Arnie Swensen. The Camaro has a blown big-block Chevy for A/GS. Swensen’s rear tires are bouncing off the ground, as was common with this car! (Jim Hill photo, ’68 Springnationals, Englishtown, NJ)

Jim Warter’s Joint Venture C-2 Corvette was built for dual purpose racing, as a Gasser, in Modified Eliminator, or for Comp Eliminator, in D/Altered. The wheelstanding ‘Vette was highly successful in both, and Warter traveled far and wide to race. Here he leaves, wheels-up at the NHRA Nationals, running in D/Altered. (Photo by Jim Hill)

 

That MM car is super bitchin...

 

This last one looks almost toy sized. Either that guy is real big or the car is scaled down.

It was nice to see this at the GNRS this weekend.

 

Don spangler C/A anglia

 

Goldfinger anglia as BB/A

 

Byron Stack crewed for Shores & Hess and said he remembered Goldfinger blaring that song when they came up to run, and it was absolutely deafening.

 

I missed that the first time around and then was looking things over and read the caption, that must have been wild.

 

Hard to read but looks like Rastettel ???
