one of the few rock stars to get photographed with a rocket car - but Joan Jett with a jet engine car? Hmmm, amusing?

  1. I think Creem has the description wrong. This appears to be Walt Arfons' Green Monster jet dragster, shown in the picture in the first comment on this Facebook post. It would have made more sense, since her name is Joan Jett, and the car is jet-powered

    1. Looks like a 280 to me. I've posted the Arfons monsters several times, and they are HUGE

    2. I forgot how many versions of the green monster there were, but https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/10/according-to-autoweek-arfons-green.html and https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/01/firestone-presents-green-monster.html is the one that sticks in my head as the jet engine version. The original had an Allison V 12 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-green-monster-12-with-rolls-royce.html
