An old acquaintance of mine, George Wickham, (who I now haven't seen in over 30 years) bought this car new, and raced it almost from day one. The 383 was built to the max: tunnel ram, killer heads, fenderwell headers, etc. 4 speed, 5.13 Dana. He had this thing in the very low 11's which was very fast for a 383 back in the day. By the early 80's, it was sitting with a blown up engine, collecting dust in his garage. I arranged a sale to another friend of mine, who repainted the car stock and swapped in the driveline of a 6pack car that he had totaled. (If I had a brain at the time, I whould have bought it myself)

I never took a picture of it myself, and have never seen a picture of it. Now my friend Jeff (JericoGTX) has found a picture of it on the web. It's really exciting to see it after all these years! Thanks Jeff!

I like it!!

You can thank Paul Walker. He is the guy that took all these old picture from Northstar Dragway back in the late 70's. He is also responsible for getting a picture of my Road Runner for me.

The picture of the Bee has alot going on in it... "engine by Warren Johnson" That is John Hagen's old Pro Stock Cuda to the left on the trailer, after he sold it, and check out the Motor Wheel Spyders on the ElCamino.

Also, love how all these old cars had names on them. Each one had character. It's really missing in the sport now.

That is nice , thanks for sharing Joel.

Very cool...

George was real proud of the Warren Johnson engine.

Very cool. I love seeing those old pics.

I miss the cars having names on them. It gave racing a lot more character.

That is a great looking bee.

first thing i noticed when i clicked on the picture...(its nice when pictures get real big)
was the "engine by Warren Johnson" pretty cool
