    This one was the baddest street roadster in the country for most of the '60s. Won its class at the WinterNationals six year in a row, in addition to a bunch of records and other wins. Saw this car race the very first time I went to the drags (Lions) and have been messed up ever since.

    I think it is, it looks like a furrowed brow.

    See example...

    And to think this car isn't even a FORD. The body is a '28 Chevy. Yeah, it surprised me too when I read that back in the '60's. I loved it because it was powered by a blown Olds. I wanted one too.

    At first glance this looks cute. Then you notice the tube frame, 502 BBC, etc.

    I'd be more impressed if they'd made it look like a restored stocker on the outside and kept the induction under the hood. Sleeeeper.

    ok, touche'... i deserve that for bein' a smart ass...but for reals, rods to me are like a Rorschach test... i've stood with friends checking at cars and we all see something different. as for mean and bad i like the one with the truck wheels that a kid in the california central coast built... it went back and forth across the country and now is, i think, owned by the gas monkey crew in texas...

    Draglist.com shows the Demon at 6.73 211 mph. He may have gone faster. And remember, that's a steel bodied coupe.:eek:

    Hey HMD, Isn't this your car? I was totally impressed with it at the HAMB drags! Totally wicked!

    This has got to be one of the baddest around! For an old hot rod race car that is...

    I always thought this was the coolest picture. Don't know where it is or who's car it is, but it just looks EVIL!

    Can't forget the guy that prolly most contributed to the end of the gasser era. From 4-door Prefect to Willys to Mustang (gasp) to "Funny looking cars"

    George is still alive running his speed shop in Dayton, Ohio and building 6 cyl. motors for the Indy Lite Series.

  23. For me, mean is all about attitude. Unless it's a drag car, then no fancy paint, or light colors. Original patina, no paint, rust, or flat colors only please. Also, a heavy chop almost always speaks "mean" to me (again drag cars can be an exception). Unfinished often times says mean to me. And of couse the engine (which is why drag cars can be mean but not have other features of mean). That being said, I think this one has been mean to me:D

    That IS a cool picture. Seems to me that there's a similar shot of the Mondello/Matsubara Topolino, with everything off the ground except one edge of one tire. Anyone have it?
