Low 12's at 120 something. Grumman Aircraft and Engineering made a lot of one off parts for it on the sly...after hours Tube axle in front and 3/4 ton Chevy pick up full floater rear. Odd combo but I remember seeing a 1967 Camaro SS with a Full race Ford Flathead V-8 running I /gas and consistently winning. Have a photo of that some where. As for the Hemis Sitting in my shop in VA is my 1957 Blown 392 Hemi the I ran in 1971 and 2 in my Alky Funny car... sitting next to my new 392 crate hemi I originally bought for my 300-Hurst project. Big differences over the decades.

And here today, with the Vietnam war ending 40 years ago, our president praised the "strength and great resolve of the heroic NVA" fighting against the country he lives in.... a hole

What she turn for time and speed?

This was my Uncle Harry's Vette. 292 GMC 6 ran AHRA Gas and Modified Sports in IHRA. Taken a Thunder Valley early 70's I think

Here in the stats it is confusing. Farms are now gross polluters, filling the ground with nitrates, using more water than others and according to Governor Cumo of New York State ..."farmers rape the land and give nothing in return". He also banned Fracking and Drilling in the state and is now limiting the amount and types of shell and fin fish Commercial Fisherman can harvest. Local county and townships are shutting down road side farm stands for non ADA compliance or the lame reasoning that the pollutants from passing vehicles get in and on the products. Seems the powers that be and 99.9% of the citizens have not idea where the food in the markets or the fuel at the pumps come from and how many jobs both industries create. Cumo would like to be President... we'll be screwed if he got in.

Welcome! Cool info on your truck too. Paul

I was at the Smithsonian when the restored Golden Rod was unveiled a few years ago. Impressive. Dick Smothers went and raced in stock eliminator at the 1968 US Nationals, he prefered road racing in Sports cars and Can Am style cars and even let Paul Newman drive their road race car in the movie "Winning". Co owned a Fueler with the Beachboys Here is an interview with a young Steve Evans after Dick Smothers makes a couple of runs in his 12-second Oldsmobile. The interview is great because Smothers is a true gearhead and car guy but his preference always tilted towards the road racing/sports car world. His description of coming off the clutch and ripping gears in the Olds https://youtu.be/m6EkakMpYzs clicky pickies

Seems to come in 3's George Berejik a very respected name in the world of Oldsmobile drag racing. George was an Oldsmobile dealer in Needham, Massachusetts, for more than 30 years, and started out as a street racer on the ring roads outside Boston. It didn’t take long before he turned pro in a successful and spectacular manner. His father, Anthony, who owned the dealership, gave George permission to pursue two drivers who drag raced for a rival Oldsmobile retailer. Once the Berejiks hired Lloyd “Woody” Woodland and Bobby Andresen, Anthony made George the team manager, and Berejik Oldsmobile was off for a wild five-year run of racing everywhere from Maine to Indy at the height of the muscle era, setting several NHRA national records in the Stock categories. Berejik was recognized as one of the nation’s top Oldsmobile drag teams, which led to a sponsorship from the Smothers Brothers. In an interview with Hemmings Muscle Machinesthat appeared in the April 2004 issue, George remembered getting a call from a representative of the Smothers Brothers and being flown first-class to a meeting in California that involved Tom and Dick Smothers, Goldie Hawn, and racing industry giants Marvin Richfin and Carl Scheifer. That was where the oddball arrangement between two entertainment superstars and a family Olds dealer from New England was cemented. Funny Car racer Eliott J. Platt—who died this weekend at the age of 75—notched up enough victories to be considered one of the top black drag racers in the country for a short time in the early 1970s and, probably more important, showed that black racers could obtain major national sponsorships. Platt, who grew up in the Boston area and worked for Eastern Airlines at Logan Airport as a jet engine mechanic after his time in the Air Force, began drag racing in the early 1960s, according to his cousin and later racing mechanic Charles Roberts Sr. Though also interested in motorcycle racing, he remained focused on drag racing, even after opening his own auto repair shop in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston.Not until the early 1970s did he transition to Funny Cars when he bought his Camaro-bodied car from a group of racers in Stoughton, Massachusetts, and powered it with a fuel-injected 454-cu.in. Chevrolet big-block V-8 running on nitro and putting out a claimed 1,200 horsepower. He called it the American Eagle and took it up and down the East Coast, reportedly running a best time of 7.03 seconds at 170 MPH. Platt likely leveraged his status as an Air Force veteran to land his first major sponsorship with the U.S. Navy recruitment office. The BAR thought so highly of that accomplishment that it highlighted the sponsorship in its newsletter as a model for how black racers should go about funding their racing exploits. BAR’s racing team later went on to get sponsorship from Viceroy cigarettes.Even with that success, though, Platt found it difficult to continue racing. In around 1973.

What would be the cost of you hiring a transporter to bring it to Canada? Could you met them at the border? Paul

YUP!! go pick it up!

Welcome! Paul

Almost sounds like the Piston Rings are not sealing. How was the rebuild broken in? Paul

Scanned a Autocar Mixer with an even longer nose! Paul

Canadian with Sleeper!!

What a good swap! Looks like it was born under the hood! Paul

Interesting the Air Filter behind the exhaust .But where else would it fit! Paul

They're freeze dried holes. Just set and forget.

Does it do Blu-Ray too?? ??

Good for "milk runs" too

Blowing the photo up it looks like it could be either a Hendrickson or a Cline chassis under it.

That B model Tanker sure brings back childhood memories. The Commander Oil Terminal in Oyster Bay has a few dozen B's as Semi's and Home delivery units. Thanks for posting. Paul

I believe is was Irraeli built at the Ashdod MACK factory. it has the Israeli lighting system on it. Paul
