History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

Amazing story Gasser Madness,
and awesome pics Bucksnort and Muttley,,

 

This is going to take some time ! I only made it to page 45!!!!!!!!!!! 1043 left to gooooooo

 

Never seen before! Looks like an altered chassis with the Cuda body on it.

 

Beautiful front rims, what are they??

 

That Cuda is the "Kop Kar" run by Dozier,Moses & Gilley,driven by Dave Dozier.Ran an injected 426 on fuel,and the only glass on it was the front end. Dennis Doubleday

 

Halibrands turned around backwards no holes, I like em!

 

Thanks Dennis. I have never seen a picture of it before.

 

Wonder if this deuce roadster is the former Dave Marquez Ardun-powered car from central Calif? Story I remember is that Dave sold the car to a guy in Memphis named Gilbert Bugg...also assume that the "Robilio" is Marshall Robilio, also from Memphis...later the roadster supposedly wound up in Alabama, but Dave Marquez never was able to find it before he died a few years ago...anyone else know anything about it??

 

That's awesome! Not so sure I'd want a turbine exhaust right in my face like that though . . .

 

he's not strapped in there to tight, is he.

 

How cool. The Hrudka Bros (spl) CC/GS (blown 265" in Chevy) getting slightly crossed up.

 

Hey Storm King,was this the ex Black Arrow?

 

Hmmmmm.....I resemble that remark! (Fremont alum 1972-85.)

 

Great pic, really puts the "motion" into Drag Cars in Motion.

 

yepper

 

Yes it is. We bought it from Doc in the winter of '67, only ran it three times with injection and AWB. We pushed the wheels back to stock (it had three locations for wheelbase) and made a panel to cover the enlarged opening, put the carbs back on it, and ran a heads up super stock series(forerunner to pro stock) at Conn Dragway in '68. The best of times...
BTW, folks always talk about altereds and their short wheelbases at 98 inches. This car as seen in this pic has a 100 inch wheelbase, the chassis was modified by a for real blacksmith, the only guy Doc (he was a veternarian) knew that could weld. The car ran straight as a string.

 

I thought that name was familiar. I used to work with you at Boeing in Tulsa

 

Was that shot at Dover,Storm King?
Good story on the 3 wheelbase locations.The blacksmith being the only welder Doc knew was great.Love that stuff.

 

Everything about this photo is great.

 

Superb.Great pipes.And Sam Hanks on the fender.
