Vintage Drag Racer

HELLO,
I am interested in any information or photos of vintage drag racers using Messerschmitt bodys or parts of the body. I have attached a photo of an example. If you have any info on this car I would be interested in hearing from you.
Thanks!

That siren you here is the INTRO police........wait for it....

 

I remember something similar to that with a Jag 6 for power running at the Orange MA drags back around '59 or '60. IIRC Hot Rod magazine did a feature on it during the same era. Sorry I don't have any pictures, remember much more about it, or know the exact issue of HRM.

The Neil Leffler-Bill Coburn "Iron Mistress" from 1962.

 

Another shot of the Iron Mistress. Two blown fuel Hemis, two rear ends, four slicks, too heavy, total failure.

 

When Leffler & Coburn went their separate ways, Bill Coburn pulled a mold off the Messerschmidt's body, and made one from fibergl*** and put it on a conventional top fuel car.
