Wow, words almost don't describe the over the top effort to make a dragster from a Corvette.. the big tires, the dragboat-like engine and headers... wow.http://www.gilchristbnw.com/GPC/WS-Gallery242.html via: http://hotwheels.tumblr.com/page/43

Engine is from Hell On Wheels?
ReplyDeleteThe engine appears to be the one used in Hell On Wheels, or something really close???
ReplyDeleteI don't know and have no idea. You might learn that online... but I doubt it's worth the time to look up. I'm sure not going to bother
Deleteonce when I was a young boy my father introduced me to bob at the time he was working on a wheelstanding car called the starship looked like one of those battlestar galactica space ships
ReplyDeletewow! You've walked through some history!
DeleteSame engine as the vet had after We built frame 21 inches longer Hell on Wheels used the same frame with different exhaust pipes & a few other modifications I know the vet & tank well Worked as Crew Chief 1969 & early 70s
ReplyDeletei lived on plains street in tucson right behind bob perrys shop when i was a kid and he would have parties at his shop after a big meet at tucson dragway and all the wheelstanders would show up and park in the empty lot next to his shop and he would start up the corvette and actually pull it out on ruthrauff rd and pop wheelies on the street. one time he rolled the car and threw away a bunch of fiberglass body parts out behind his building and i would gather them up in my bacyard and pretend i had a corvette!
