[Ma Snart]

I really love Mopar drag racing from the 50's 60's and 70's - Gassers, Super Stock, Stock, Hot Rods, Altereds, Floopers, Fuel Injected, Blown Motors, Fenderwell Headers, Straight Axles, Crazy Wild Psychedelic Paint Jobs and the like....

Asking FBBO members to post any photos they have on this thread.

More from the 2008 Hemi Reunion.

I have to say that this was the greatest automotive event I have ever been to.
Quaker City is my home track, and I grew up with my Father telling me stories about these very cars match racing at this very track. It was like a dream come true to see these cars setting in the staging lanes.

This was the 1967 Plymouth RO car that the dealer 1 block down from the dealership I worked at back in the day raced. They did not have a body shop so the bodyman at our dealership painted it. He told me that he nearly went blind masking it for the stripes. The stripes continued from the sides over the hood and trunk lid and met in the middle. Can you imagine what it would cost to do this today. After a few years of campaigning it he sold it to the guy whos name is on the side in this picture. It was Jerry High from Bettendorf Iowa. Previously it said Ferris Motors in the same place.
