    Hi Everyone,
    Anyone out there know any history on this Gasser?
    Here's what I've got so far but trying to confirm accuracy.
    Raced in the 60's in Granger Indiana - possibly running the name of "Shaker" on the doors.
    Back then I believe it ran a SBC.
    Said to have been built back then by Shaker Racing in Granger Indiana (still in business)
    Not sure if Shaker Racing actually race it back then or not???
    Current HEMI said to have been built by Brandon Brussard in Indiana
    Said to have been raced by Brandon Brussard again in Indiana
    Said to have gone missing for a while & even put back closer to stock. Then dragged out again in more recent times & built to what we see today in Georgia somewhere.

    Really interested in any historical information especially any early racing photos or details etc. Thanks very much for reading. Cheers Kenny

    Thank you. Was this Willys out of Indiana or unknown? "Dick" the driver I see. Hydro Bob? That's something to work with for sure. Cheers. Great pic.

    It appears the Hemi shaker is a 40 and the original a 41 by the grill. I seen the original about 20 years ago about a mile from my house. I pass by his house every day. I’ll stop sometime to see if he still has it.

    That is not the original race car, that was a street rod that Dick owned after he sold the race car, it was just a maroon street rod
