Re: Wanted: Nostolgic/Gasser from 30',40's,50's
My advice is to keep an eye out for a locally owned and campaigned retired drag car from one of the larger cities in the country. That will save you a lot of money over a "famous name" car and in my opinion, they're every bit as cool. It seems that back in the Sixities and Seventies, almost every small gas station had some kind of drag car they'd sponsor and race on the weekends. I almost get tired of seeing the heavily photographed cars from back then over and over, and I really enjoy seeing pictures of the "little guys" that raced back then that had families and regular jobs where they couldn't tour the country, but just raced locally.

"No Big Thing" I believe was a vespa. What a wild ride. Not sure the year, but it had a 427 and would do a wheel stand as long as the driver wanted to. I heard was very dangerous to race. I heard it was still around but not racing. Trying to get more info on it.

Re: Wanted: Nostolgic/Gasser from 30',40's,50's
Thanks for the picture. I actually talked to the guy today who is storing it for the owner and going to see it on Saturday. He said the 454 is pretty well shot. But what a great piece of US 30 (where I raced at) dragstrip history. thanks again

Re: Wanted: Nostolgic/Gasser from 30',40's,50's
Mark Thats what I've decided on. This should be a great project. Don't have to worry about all the numbers matching parts. I'll be looking for a locally raced car. Go to gasser maddness and a 57 called Honky Tonkin is for sale at 65k. Forget it. Just looking to have some fun without breaking the bank.
