Hot Rods Oddball Gassers, Altereds and Streetfreaks.

I see a yellow ZINGER built with that 57
shoty.......

 

In the May 2009 issue of "Hot Rod Deluxe," there is some great 1960's gasser footage (20 cars to be exact). The premise of the article was that not all gassers were tri-fives & Willy's and there are some really neat oddball gassers there.

If anyone has any more pics/info on the 53 Olds 4 door gasser that is in the article, I would love to see it.

 

MY u.k ODDBALL hi-rider gasser

 

There were a lot more shots of this where I saw it but I must've only saved one pic.

 

VERY cool thread! I'll be checking back with this one often!

 

Just cool!

 

this is the coolest bubbletop Ive ever seen

 

a friends 55 in 1966, custom gasser from 1975

 

That clear hood is sooooooo bitchin'.

 

Just found this thread and don't have time today to surf through it. But my car is a Hot Rod, an Oddball, an Altered, a bit of a Gasser and a Street Freak, too. Can't post pix, but it's been on the HAMB a few times ('61 Morris Minor). For the first time in my life, I've found a place where I fit in! Not sure if I should be too proud of that...

That whole car looks like it was plucked from a late 60s plastic model kit catalog. Too cool.

 

The guy that now owns the Rambler Gasser also owns this Jeep. It's all AMC with a built 401 (read the winshield to see how good it is!).

So you're saying Jack Ditmars Lil Screamer is in the process of being restored?

 

Yeah, I gotta go along with that !!

 

Is it just me or do they all look scared of it?

 

jack is still around,talked to him not to long ago, that mini brute funny car was his alsoand the altered 34 ford earlier inthe beginning of this thread.

 

bump for more pics....

 

Maybe this newly build Volvo will fit here?

 

Fucking Hell that Wild Tomato Volvo is EVIL!

 

Hell yeah!!!

 

Anybody remember the street freak dragster? It was in an issue of Car Craft sometime around '73 - '74. Might've been built by Steve Group (Groupe?), he built a bunch of drag-car looking show rods.

Pretty crazy rig, looked like an AA/FD with some kind of people-pod stuck on the back. Custom-van looking interior, the full 70's deal.

 

That Godzilla 55 on post #202 was still racin' in the 80's in NHRA NED 1 when I was helpin' with dragster. Nick and Joan Hauled the 55 on a short ramp truck and trailered a Vega racecar with the ramp truck. The ass end of the 55 hung out over the tounge of the Vega trailer.
DMC, If you have any pis of their rig please post them.

very cool

 

Anybody remember this one????



I know it used to run at union Grove and possibly Rockford... This pic was taken at the Chicago WoW show sometime around 1991.

 

I love this thread!!!

 

Cut those rear wheel wells out and it'd be a neat car. I don't know why today's street freakers are scared to cut the quarters. They never tubbed anything back then, and it looks stupid...
