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

Pat Cuss and Bill Ashley purchased this altered coupe that ran in 'A' Dragster Class. It was imported by Pete Millar. Ran an injected Chrysler motor; at that time it was named "Competition Coupe".

That thing just screams bad ass. So how long ago was this and is the car still operating over there?
Gotta love a Jag pushcar too.LOL

 

The Dodge Fever Challenger depicted in the upper right corner was such a dominant contender through out 1970. It ran, or came close to running a legitimate "6". Had the car toured, it would have done quite well.

 

Wasnt this the same coupe that fell in the Sweedish bay as they were loading aboard a ship?

 

This was 'Ratcatcher' with a topo body on circa 76




As it was in 74







Not sure about the water adventure.........i'll go a lookin

No, I meant Pete Millar's coupe as being the one that was drowned in the bay

 

Thanx for the info on the Toppo. That thing is beautiful.

 

Here are some pictures taken by me at the 2009 Jalopy Drags. Enjoy!
