Old Gasser I found

[retengw31]

There was one like this from the Philly area that ran at Atco in the early 60's named Yogi Bear. It also had a SBC and I believe was black at the time.

Remember seeing it being towed around one of the roundy-rounds very quickly heading over to NJ. In the style of the day, on the trunk it had lettering that said, "some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you". The letters were arrranged around a drawing of Yogi like numerals on a clock.

It amazing what the Safety standards were back then......when you look at the way some of these cars were put together....it's kinda scarey........

A local fellow has fixed up one of these old Henry Js for a street rod/machine. It looks great and isn't same old.

Here's my 60's death trap. It wasn't technically a gasser (was put into B/MP at Milan when I ran it there in the late 60's). If I had kept it, next would have been a straight axle(or I'd have been in jail or worse) . As it was, a mint low mileage granny car, a totalled 66 Dodge 383 4 speed drivetrain (including the rear end and shortened driveshaft),a torch, and some angle iron (had to go back in and reinforce some areas to get the doors to open and close as well as support the upper shock mount and firewall flex. Headers were fenderwell exit between the tires and the inner frame/body (wheels were homemade on a tire changer from the small Valiant spiders and reversed 14 inch Ford rims welded together). Stock torsion bars wound all the way up, a pinion snubber, and wahoo. Killer street car as a sleeper, only ran high 12's at the strip).
