Back then mag wheels mattered! Nobody would be seen with skinny whitewall tires and dork dish hubcaps on their muscle cars! We had an image to maintain! Now that the guys who own these cars are all geezer grandfathers they seem to want to make their muscle cars look like their own grandfathers 63 Valiant! I don't understand why someone would ever want a muscle car to look slow and geeky!This guy however made sure to get rid of his welfare wheels, and tossed the dork dishes as far as he could, and look what he able to get

Maybe a sleeper?
Looks like Buddy's behind the wheel, there. Maybe took it off the trailer.
Personally, #1 is #1 for me in that pic.
First picture, car from Ontario. Where is the strip?
It might have been Golden Horseshoe in Toronto. This track was only in operation for a few years, right around 1970. I was there once with a friend that raced a 1969 428 Torino. John Petrie's 'Cuda is to the left. He was sponsored by Argyle Chrysler in Toronto. This track likely got swallowed up by Hwy. 401 or 407 expansion.
SLEEPER most of the fat wheeled cars were dogs it was a look jacked up fatties on the back .
What about….Suuuunday…Niaaaaagra. Niagara Dragstrip. Used to go there when I lived in Buffalo.
Who are you foolin in a purple 70 Road runner with dust trail stripes,an air grabber hood with 440+6 callouts and chrome dual exhaust tips! Or a Hemi orange Charger R/T with a black tailstripe? No it's not the sleeper look they are going for. A sleeper looks inconspicuous and unassuming throughout the whole car.
I beat a 70 Buick GS stage 1 because his skinny tires wouldn't hook up. I had him by several car lenghts and was about to back off when I didn't see his headlights behind me anymore,thats because they were at my passengers door. I nipped him by a fender. If that car would have hooked up, I would have been looking at his taillights!
I don't think I've seen that combo before.
