Saw on another site that Lisk's Challenger is on the block. Be a really cool piece of history to own.

Who is Lisk? What year and type is the car and its history?

Steve Lisk. Pretty well known street race car from the Detroit area I believe, back in the '70s. Had a hemi and a Lenco that ran mid 9s.

I had that Hot Rod article hanging on the wall for a long time. One of the baddest street cars ever built. Would be fun to own that car and cruise thru the Nats with it. Or take it on power tour or something. People would go nuts to see that car out driving around. Everyone who read Hot Rod in the 70's knows that car.

I'd love to buy it and put a 455 Buick in it....

put a Buick motor in it!!! why would you want it to go slower????

I wonder if that's Steff's old car? He started out with a B 1 in it???

This car was built in the '70s and has been owned by the same guy for 20+ years.

Not same car.
This car has sat since early 90's per current owner, and was repainted orange w white RT stripes.
Current owner wants 90k, not an original hemi car, was 383 car.

Somehow I never saw this car in person at races or on street, maybe at autorama, can't remember.
I first heard of the car thru the magazine article.
Too bad I didn't win the lottery last week, or this car would be in my garage.
I saw it for sale last night on the Milan buy n sell facebook page.

I type slow.........

A friend of mine bought the car minus engine and trans from Steve in the late 70's. He made some changes to it and then it sat for awhile. I don't remember who he sold It to. May be the current owner.

Be aware that years later I got a phone call from someone in Texas that was trying to clone his car to look as much like steves as possible so there may be a car out there somewhere that looks more like steves car than what the real one does.

Did Mike Fons build the car for Lisk?
Since the original hemi & Lenco are gone, whats in it now?

Yes mike fons built it. When I asked why the ladder bars were so short I was told that the car was built with parts scavenged from a wrecked hemi colt. No idea what engine and trans are in it now. I think I remember that steves brother wound up with the hemi and lenco.

This fires up the storm about who owns the original "Bullet" and who owns its rightful original drive train.

A friend of mine owned this car in the 90's. Is there a link to the ad?

I know the car & have seen it around here & there over the years. Autorama, Woodward etc. Cool piece of 70's history. I have an article around somewhere of this car up against Jack Roush's old Street version of his Pro Stock Mustang II.

This is the one I remember:

I have read in alot of places that nobody owns the original bullet cars and both cars (Mustang & Charger)were both destroyed a long time ago and that any around today are just fakes.

I believe FMJ is refering to the famous Silver Bullet not the movie Bullit.
