I have always liked cars that were given names by their owners. The names usually had a reason/story behind them. I had been trying to come with a name for mine for quite awhile. A few months ago, this came to mind and pretty much sums up my frustrations over the years. I had always liked the 'Valiant Effort' moniker, but I wanted something original. Hopefully, this is original, as I have never seen it before. Share yours!!!

Better that "Prince Valiant".

I remember the day when just about every car had a name. got to get busy on my valiant.

My car that's under construction already has a name....BUCKET LIST !!!

My car has several names, most can't be mentioned here though.

My Road Runner back in 1978-79. It's going to be painted up just like this, only with a modern chassis under it.

This is Murphy. She lives up to her name!

with 13.30`s et and going 110mph its
sheer DARTattack

My Dad had a white 1957 Chrysler 300. - 392 hemi car. He referred to it as "Mody Dick" as in the movie with the same name. My brother raced it in stock form at Cordova drag strip in Illinois. Car ran 15.90 at 90 mph off the showroom floor using only first and second gear. Before he passed away in 97, he gave me his 1979 Chrysler 300. My intention was to sell it. Couldn't do it. I race it under the same name. To date that car has run 10.50 @ 128.38 mph with plenty left in it - if I ever get it sorted out. My Dad was a real car guy. He would be proud.

Such a cool story! Awesome!
Beautiful car, btw. I've seen it a the AZ Mopars show last fall.

When I bought my Duster it said "Sticky Business" on the side...I was going to remove it until a friend said it sounded like a bad porn movie. It stuck..

I've always called mine Frankenstein.Started out as a 360 4 speed factory sunroof 74 Dart Sport, that now has a Duster front end and a 474. Birdtracker

Mine was named the "Blue Blur" by a buddy about 13 years ago. It fits.

A boy come in the shop, looked at the car and said Dart Vader. The rest is history.

"Direct Correction".



Chris..

would like to see names on funny cars, like they used to. you know, Blue Max, War Eagle, Snowman, etc. but that will never happen! corp. sponsers need the rolling billboard. cost has gotten way out of hand

Mine the early 70'S was Primed.
Later, just like every other cuda, became "King Fish"
I now call it "King Turd"

"KING TURD"

Simply... BloFish

Atrocity

Still remember as a kid seeing a 50 Olds at our local drive in hangout with the moniker

"Miss Carriage" nicely enscribed on each front fender behind their respective wheels. To this day the only handle on a car that I remember from those days.

Oops , just remembered a blue cheapest model 60 Chevy 335 hp, titled "Blue Lightening" that belonged to one of the older guys. Remembered the car well as it was always a contender in Super Stock class at our local Lincoln, Nebraska drag strip,,,once a military B 47 Air Force base runway.

Story was that he had purchased new with almost no money down and at the end of the season was repossessed as he had never made another payment on it.

I remember an Nitro Hemi 41 Willys named "Good Vibrations".

when i was a kid growing up dad had a rusty old car in the backyard that was really good for holding bees nests on the side in faded letters "J Hawker"

My two "projects" are both Dakotas.

One with a 4.7 that looks like an R/T Dakota is called "R/T NOT".

My actual R/T Dakota is called "Black Dog".

possibly it was close to 30 years ago when he had the car. he said he sold it and it change hands a few times then some guy restored it and races it now but dont quote my memory of those days is pretty fuzy but i know the cars were there because i got stung by more bees than i care to remember

my 63 Dodge 330 Max Wedge
"TAMELESS"

I had THE Original "Max Wedge Duster"

still have the doors..

" Goldie"

Lemon-Wedge.....

"Penny" because of the color. Copper Glow Iridescent.

The wifes 74 street car she named the grape ape

Whompin wedge!

PLUM BAD

Ours was named "FRUSTRATION" for obvious reasons. Usually the frustration is ours, but once and a while we get to frustrate others. The first time we fired up the max wedge engine (15 years ago or so), the STR-14 intake blew up and cracked. In my youthful inexperience, I mis-labeled the plug wires when I took them off the old running engine. I numbered them 1234 down the driver's side and 5678 down the pass side. In the interim of building the new engine, I figured our the actual firing order. Guess I forgot when I put it back together. Live and learn.

The Road Runner (purchased new by my grand father) has been called "The Chicken" short for thunder chicken, since 1969.

The "Nutcracker" Sitting on top of a cromed 8 3/4!

Mark

My Challenger is called "Mentally Challenged" because I chose to build a Mopar over a Ferd or Chebby.

I dump money into my 69 Dart all time. Some times I get a payout sometimes I don't. It pays out just enough to keep me coming back for more. So me and my daughter named it the Quarter Machine.

Still debating lettering the car, but it is called Anger Management! Beep
