Old School 60 Drag Racing Pictures.!

If any one out here has pictures from the 60 with the 66-67 b-body cars drag racing post them and if its a car you ran or your family did or father post it with a short story of its history.

I grew up in California in the 60 so that is why i am such a motor head & went to Lion's drag Strip for many years i am looking for photos from there to post.

Really thanks to all of you for sharing its been great.!!!! :headbang::headbang:

Now there is something you don't see alot of anymore tyhe moon wheels you have on your car.! Well that's what i call them. But see that is what i am saying i want to see the different likes of car owners.!

I guess they only ran 66 Coronets for 6 months, after that and in 67 it was Chargers.
Because of the late model year intro.

That's the only pic I can find in about 5 years of searching.

ss1gtx,

That looks fantastic.

Some questions from us who are looking at the same package:
* Are you using air shocks or a sway bar on the rear?
* Have you driven it much with the new tires?...No rubbing issues with the back tires?
* Have you rode with anybody in the back seat?...still no rubbing?
* Could you post any photos showing the gap between the tire and outer wheel opening...maybe a shot looking up into the wheel well from the centercap?

The period correct look and stance of your car is bitchin!

The reason I ask the questions is I have test fitted my `66 Belvedere II with a 15x8 Cragar SS, mounted with a P215x65 and while I have a 1" gap at the wheel opening (lip), I can barely get my finger tips between the tire and outer wheel house (2 - 3"s up inside the wheel well). If the tire should go up into the wheel well from a bump in the road, I would experience rubbing.

Like most everybody else, I want to go as wide as possible without ruining a set of tires. Unfortunately, I do not have any nearby shops willing to 'experiment' to see what will work. Any details you can provide on what you may have had to do to get these to work would greatly be appreciated.
