I remember that car as a child.
Chi Town Hustler
I remember it well. I grew up in Summit/Argo Illinois. Austin Coil lived there. Yeah, the same Austin Coil that is John Force's Mechanic. They knew how to make a car run. So did Gary Dyer, who owned the Shell station at 63rd & Harlem. Is this the original? Very nice! Now you know why i use this picture for my I.D.

That's the original. I was in the Air Force and I went to D.C. to visit my sister and her husband. 1969 coulda been 68. My BIL was a dork and asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to go to the digs. He had no idea but by god he found out there was a "meet" on Sunday. Monrovia Maryland as I recall. Chi Town were my boys and I shxt when I saw them there. Really cool. You could walk right up and talk to em and touch the car. They were changing the oil with Kendall GT-1 . I said how often you change the oil? He said every run. I said how much oil does it hold,he said 12 quarts. Dam a whole case. I ran GT-1 in my Dodge too and I knew what it cost. It was like .39 cents a quart. Anyway it was a great time and it was soooooooooo awesome to see these guys run up close.

I believe he was Mr. Norm's head wrench.
Mr. Norm's SuperCharger
Gary Dyer was his mechanic and driver. Later on, he would open a machine shop in Summit and make his famous Dyer Superchargers. Here are some pics from way back when!
