Other fav is Tom Gould's "Gray Ghost" Corvair:

Michael, is that your L body in the other lane? I think thats an unusual combo. But as an avid fan of FWD Mopars I like your car.

Johnny Bartlett, Salem ,Oregon...because he had to make all the speed parts himself instead of throwing cubic money at the car.
(That's the way it used to be done)

Talking Re: Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

The 1958-59 Sports version of the 93B had 48-50 hp in base version and 57 hp in super version. This model had triple carburetors. This is the combo the Saab ran, not much power but the lowest class at the time. He ran the 57 hp combo but claimed the 50 hp. My partner actually went down to his shop where he bragged about the A-holes he beat every week and explained how. My buddy introduced himself as one of the A-holes. The Saab was never seen again at the drags.

Yup! Back before it was painted. That was my first round of Stock eliminations ever -- Numidia Raceway FMDRS.

After paint:

I saw the progress on your site, very impressive. I also saw it in the classifieds, but I have too many irons in the fire for another car. You should rent it to me.
