Re: Cool race car names!

Mack, hope to see that DP car of yours at the track sometime soon....Yes, those cars sure are making their owners serve a "apprenticeship" in order to achieve success at the track w/them, but no different from anything else that's new, for sure.....Best wishes with it....WJ

WJ,
Not in 1972.
I think just the low-compression 455 with a big Quadrajet
Wonder what the headers cost for that 72' Buick.
Also, the purple carpeting,,,,,wall-to-wall:)
PC
Anybody ever run a Chrysler Cordoba, with the fine Corinthian leather.

My wife used to call my Dodge Aspen the "Aspirin" cause it gave her a headache every time I'd have to fix a part I broke.

Buddy's cutlass was originally built by my dad Jimmy Waibel the blue strip was painted as "fish scales" dad painted each section with a cardboard piece, when dad drove it in ss/o it only had Scott Smith Olsdmobile on the rear panel. as far as I know from pictures Buddy only had Wayne County on it.

Re: Cool race car names!

I had a couple......67 Chevelle 396/375(rated @ 425) called 'Aggravation', a 69 Camaro 427/425 called 'Law and Order'. I drove a 65 hemi Dodge called 'The Reverend Mr. Black', and Alfred Walker's 68 Camaro Pro Stocker called "The Savage Rat'. I also owned a 72 Vega from Scuncio Chevrolet that was more street car than race car, that was known as 'Streetmaster' and paid for itself more than once. Anybody remember Bobby Brown's 'Goldfinger' 66 Chevelle?

Sure do Arnold. There is a picture of it on one of the Jalopy Journal threads. I've been told that David Surles also owned that car at one time. Do you know if that is true?

I once saw a small photo in 70s drag race mag of what I can remember, a mid 60s Chevelle Super Sport with the name:

Do any of you remember this car? I always like that name. I figured that it had a Big Block.

My mom had "Witchy Woman". My dad had "The Judge" on his '66 GTO (before Pontiac brought out the trim package), "Crystal Blue Persuation" on our '70 Firebird. Yes I know it's spelled 'sion but he wanted the 'ti' in there to pay omage to the "tin indian". Our '90 Firebird had "Reflections" on the side. And many other friends...

It was that way when he bought his first car. The first car also had "Can you beleve a 283 ?". My Dad's traveling buddies called him "Mr. Aggrivation" on the CB radio. I bought my Camaro, Aug 1,1996, and went to Greer Dragway to do my first burn out. A long time racing friend said "Little Aggrivation has a car now". I liked it, and put "Li'l Aggravation" on the side of my car. I had to spell it correctly! Almost two years ago now, Dad bought his Grand Prix, and he put "Mr. Aggravation" back on it. Unfortunately, both cars have become an aggravation with breaking parts and just not working like they should.

It was awesome to see these old names I spent many a night in your garage working on your dads car. When I saw Jim and Audrey's name it took me back to the night we chopped the roof, We started talking about how cool it would look with the roof chopped and Audrey threatened us not to chop it, she and jim mad the mistake of going to dinner and by the time they got back your dad and I had taken I believe it was 4 inches out of the roof. When she looked at it she loved it. It then got the Candy Apple Perl Morono Blue paint job. There used to be a guy called Pink also don't remember his real name but he always ran a front engine digger of course it was painted pink. Lots of memories at OCIR.

Re: Cool race car names!

Here's a few more:

Probably my all-time favorite race car name, "Time & Money", an ET / Super Gas Vega (and later Corvette) campaigned by Marc Schifferle in WNY and southern Ontario
Mopar Missile (the 2nd generation name of the factory-backed Chrysler Pro Stock team formerly known as the Motown Missile)
Fred Hahn (of Pro Modified fame) campaigned a blown altered name "Satan's Revenge", primarily in WNY at Lancaster Dragway and on tour with the Supercharged Warriors
Gary Burgin's "The Orange Baron" - I loved the way that car looked when I was a kid:
