History TRADITIONAL GASSERS, Gas Class cars and modern TRADITIONAL cars.

This, as you can see is 1966! BUT, it fits ( I think ) the spirit of the thread!
Get it?

 

The Assassin! A local Portland car, went from c'g, to AA/GS. Then to nitro.
Ran 7.9's on fuel. Spent most of it's life as a gasser.
Here it is at Woodburn as a c'G car. Photo by a teenage me!

 

Good 'ol Oswego! a.k.a. "The Dustbowl"! I loved that metalflake '58 in the '70's and it still looks stunning today!
Got any shots of the lighthouse Express?

 

Here's Dan's 65 Falcon. Dan & Derek built this beauty, and it made R&C after Dan bought Derek out. Derek did a post on the build. Sweet rig!

 

Surprising we haven't seen more chopped Willys over the years... Looks bitchin'!

 

My sb 57, bb 55, and bb 40 Dodge... The Dodge sat outside for 38yrs before I saved it, so excuse it's paint scheme.

 

That '40 has some serious potential!

 

I know right! Not sure what it will become yet. I did take it into a field for some fun one day in the fall. Had a blast with it. Lol

 

Dig that craaazy hood-scoop!

 

Not my thread, but no more fake spindle mounts please. Modern TRADITIONAL cars!

 

The author of the thread asked for (among other things) modern cars with the spirit of traditional gassers, so...

 

Yes I did, and SPINDLE MOUNTS are ALTERED wheels. If you showed up to race in 65 with spindle mounts, and / or no front brakes, you's be classified as an altered, NOT A GASSER!
Simple facts. Please, no tunnel rams, spindle mounts or other revisionist "gasser" stuff. No arguing please.
It can be posted elsewhere.
If this continues much more, I'll just close the thread. let's not resort to that.

 

D/Gasser Now those Moon discs are traditional!

A straight front axle, radiused rear-wheel openings, and blue lexan windows were popular Gasser items, and this 1955 had them all. Hefner campaigned the car for several years before he retired from drag racing. (Photo Courtesy David Giles Collection)

Al Pfeiffer campaigned a succession of WIllys gassers, including this pretty ’41 coupe with full Moon discs and a big Caddy V8.

Larry Teter of Algonquin, IL would later be recognized as a top builder of racing engines (Teterbuilt ICE), but in the early ’60s he was known for this beautiful and fast ’32 Ford Victoria.

Joe and Tom Hrudka began serious drag racing with this '55 Chevy. The '55 won the 1962 NHRA Nationals D/Gas Class at Indy.

 

You guys see any SPINDLE MOUNTS???
