"Tudor On A Tear"
 This one is out of the March, 1963 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. If you know the car, it's most likely because you stumbled across it while checking out the feature on "L... To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here. |

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
I swear they used that nose "cone" on another car later.
With the "Ford parts obsolete" lettering as it is on the sedan... |

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
Tony’s sedan proved some serious double duty capabilities. Well, actually triple duty - Tony’s car is streetable! Even so, it’s amazing to see two cars built a half decade apart with very different parts share such a similar personality. The generation gap ain’t all that big - is it?
people are constantly telling me "I" cant build a competative car for double duty, (lakes & drag racing), but people throughout the decades have been doing it. even if it may only see drag duties once in awhile, its still possible. The Bill Ramay/Gary Ewens 34 sedan hands down has the best looks ive seen for a 33/34 sedan thus far.

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
I've got that old issue of Hot Rod too.
I love the chain blower drive, just TRY getting that on any track these days. The chop is great, as is the "RTA" on the back of the car.

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
Geez, I wish my car would a pull single duty. All it ever does is sit in the garage on stands, yelling at me because I don't have clue as to what I am doing to it!

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
I love the scoops, who made those?
P.S. What's "RTA"? Last edited by Richard D; 10-24-2007 at 01:30 PM. |

Makes me think it was a 1970-72ish issue of Hot Rod or RnC with coverage of the Antique Drags that they did with lots of bangers and flatheads in southern Cal. |

They allowed coupes (well, all closed body styles) when SCTA would only allow roadsters.

i guess it would take a lot of thought, planning and careful engineering. the suspension of a drag car would probably work fairly well on an lsr car.

Re: "Tudor On A Tear"
That first photo is one of the coolest pictures I think I've ever seen. Normally I don't like the track noses but that's killer.
