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.
My story is about the same, when I was 19 I bought my first Hemi car, a silver 67 GTX, man I sure had allot of fun with that car! I sold it many moons ago and have missed it ever since. The good news is that the original owner now has it back and it's fully restored and looking good! Here it is when I was reunited with it at the 1996 Pacific Nationals in Las Vegas.

Truly an amazing car.I saw the car run many times and still to this day I believe that the car was much faster than anyone knew.I saw the car run with the 4500's and the Weiand tunnel ram also. (10.00 at Detroit and the next day at Milan 9.99 thru the mufflers).Remember this was with a 4:56 gear and a TF. It was not on kill at all. When you beat several solid 10.0-10.20 cars by several bus lengths you know it had something left.Topper is he could drive it around for hours ,line up and run like it just was tuned.

Is it true that it never got beat? I think it'd been cooler if Harold would have restored the engine compartment and exhaust to how it would have looked then.......

Was Jimmy ever was beaten? Some say yes,some say no.I never saw it but I wasn't at every race either.Rumor has it that he was beat once.I doubt it but if the rumor is true I am pretty sure I know who it might have been.One thing I know for sure was he was very selective if he did not know the car.He had to be selective as GM and Ford had several "projects" out there trying to dethrone him as the King of Woodward.He raced all comers but not till he had a least an idea of how fast the car was.I really don't mind if the car is not exact as raced.Harold has my respect for actually showing his collection over the years and sharing it with the Mopar community.

Crazy D !!!!! Do you have any more of that article or the pics that were with it??!! That's the one I remember from back in the day. I read (and loved) it before I ever heard of the Bullet. When the car surfaced a few years ago, I always thought (but didn't know for sure) that it was the same car I had read about so many years ago. I would love to get copies of that article! Do you know where or how I may?
Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

I remember the car(white one)out of Booth-Arons very well.He was a customer and one of the project cars.He was about the fastest street Camaro around at the time.Saw them race more than once but never saw him beat Jim. Like I said it may have happened a different night. Did see Jim race Andy Mannarino's (of pro stock fame) 70 Camaro. No race at all, Andy was speechless. Another great story was the race with Harold Martin's(pro mod)dad's Chevy II race car.All in all,the Bullet was very impressive.
