Multiple motor madness from the 60's surfaces on the Mboxcommunity.com forum as one member uploads cards he's held onto for about 40 years

Above, the Odd Couple slingshot, the front engine is a Chev, and the rear is the 3rd hemi to hang in the back of the AA/gas dragster. The Chev never broke in the 2 years that 3 hemis ate dirt

I see two engines in the back, and I don't remember seeing a double engined wheelstander before. Photo was at OCIR. I think that the drivers side door says M/T chassis. Huh?

photos thanks to Damien from Australia and the http://onfourwheels.blogspot.com/ blog and found the photos on http://www.mboxcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?108903-Dragster-Scans

Hurst Hemi under Glass, wheel standing made easy

No wheelie bars, just plates to replace when they get worn down enough

a car that at most came with a 273 small block v87 under the hood gets a 426 hemi in the back seat... I don't know what they thought the "Research" was, but it made a lot of kids like drag strips.

You don't need me to tell you it's the Galpin Ford sponsored "Back Up Pick Up" unusual wheelstander, but you can't read that this is Lions in 1971
Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans 1950. Who is Briggs? race car driver and museum owner, and a sports car legend as he was one of the first in the 1950's to go all the way to try and win the European races as an American, like Reventon did after him, and Shelby after Reventon http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-monster-of-briggs-cunningham.html
