Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

How about Charlie Graf's GT/A Cavalier w/ 350.... one of, if not the 1st front wheel drive conversion cars when rules first allowed it in the late 80's.

In the early 90's (maybe 1991) before I got into SS..... we went to the points meet and Englishtown (it used to be in May) to watch and that was the 1st time I saw a FWD conversion.

I had always been a fan of the big block GT/A cars.... like the Monte Carlos of Frank Brenneiser and Hoffman, and the GT/A Camaro's of Jim Bodreau, Don Ciccarone, & Sherwood Allen, Colbert (and I'm sure others I cant recall everyone right now). And I used to like to watch them go at it,

But that 1st time I saw that car, it was sitting on a trailer and the view was from the rear....... The rear was so narrow, and the tires so big..... I just remember thinking and commenting that it it looked like a "steam-roller".... and it ran really good too!

I have a VHS video from that day, I wish I could post it.... a lot of those guys (named above) are on the tape. If I remember correctly.... the GTA cars were running in the mid 9.70's.

Maybe someone could post of pic of that Cavalier
