Never knew the man, but had an article from 1972 showing Jimmy as a young man. Gettin old is not fun...

Sorry it's a poor picture...

Does anyone have a "good" pic of the logo used on the plate ?

cool pic

looks like the standard 1970 logo, only with blue letters

Frito,

The quarters were not buckling, they were (rather crudely) modified to accomodate the fat tires.

Can anyone confirm which of these posted pics on this thread are of the real car or the fake one? I know there is one that is the original body (the only "real" Silver Bullit IMO) and then there's a clone claiming to have the original engine in it (the fake one IMO).

Jimmy Addison and the Silver Bullet are legendary for sure.
I'm sure they made impressions on thousands of people when they were out roaming the streets....

I saw the Bullet in person at that track rental at Milan in Sept. 2005, and made my very first pass down the dragstrip against it.

I loved that car! At the time that car was in magazines I was tooling the streets in my silver GTX, of course it was about 4 seconds slower than the Bullet was.

Thanks for the cool pics Big. I have a Car Craft from around 1970 with a street race at the track and the Bullet was there as was a 62 Maxie style Mopar. Also had a 442 and a few other GM cars and of course the Bullet cleaned house. I gotta dig that up. When I was growing up the Bullet was the Mopar that won it all on the street just like Sox & Martin won just about everything on the track. Oh that was a great time to be a Mopar lover. Ron
