silver bullet

[Salvatore]

The Silver Bullet is famous. I think it spent time in the Chrysler Museum at one point. I know that it caused such a stir that Jack Roush was approached to build a counter part just to beat The Bullet on Woodward. I know Ford had Roush build a Mustang-2 just to beat the hemi. Don't remember the outcome though. Saw the 460 mustang in person in 1980 when we visited Roushs shop.

Muscle Car Review did a story on this car, with a fold out picture of it. This car was so famous that it's racing career on Woodward Ave is more legendary than factual.
By 1967, all of the cops that patroled Woodward knew all of the cars, and the fines started at $500. There were much safer places to race, especially for $$$. Jimmy did race the car on the street, but not that often. Not worth the risk.

I believe -3- articles appeared in the very early 1970s about the 'Silver Bullet' GTX in Car Craft.I used to read those articles over and over(way cool a veryfast car and Woodward av).Te GTX was originally a dark blue 440 company car that Jimmy Addison built. He had a Sunoco station on Woodward right in the heart of all the action back then.The guy with the 'clone' says it has an engine from the old days from the 'Silver Bullet'. Bid deal..Harold Sullivan today owns the -real- car and Addison makes appearences with it. He is a very nice guy to talk with.

This car was at the Chrysler display at the Barrett Jackson auction last March in Florida. It was probably the coolest car there.

I grew up reading the same articles that Bob just mentioned. That car was/is a true piece of history. Especially in the eyes of this little elementary school magazine jockey (where the roots began).

I have had a couple of conversations with Jimmy Addison. I have a picture signed by him hanging in my office. He has some great stories about the old days. The car sounds wicked. He fired it up for me a couple of years ago at the Frankenmuth Autofest. Gave me the chills.
