Original 383 car, turned into a HEMI.IIRC, the car was cut up to for Super Gas, and the project never finished, so it was scrapped. The original owner is on Facebook.

You're welcome. I'm glad some people out there enjoy seeing them. Yep, BB had a lot of great cars make passes down their quarter mile.

Another clue that it was not a hemi car is while looking at the engine picture of the car it has a 2 speed wiper motor, what looks to be 22" radiator and core support. Very cool picture without a doubt!

More than a few rust free ex-race cars wound up in the scrap yard unfortunately. How many were rescued and restored God only knows.

Some fantastic action shots taken here from drag racing's best era IMO. Even today, 46 years later, these cars would not look out of place if you pulled into the staging lanes with one. That fact speaks volumes.
