The above pics .... Why HS did not make it "correct" is beyond me.

The exhaust system that is on the car in that pic is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being "original".

I owned that car for a year or so ... bought it with a max-wedge (in parts) and NEW extended opening (non-bulged)quarter panels. It never looked "right".

I would have NEVER sold it for what I did .. if it had had the original 1/4's on it.

If you look close at that pic from the headers back, you can see the four muffler system. Unless my eyes are deceiving me?

The word was he used four Cadillac mufflers.

That car is legendary. Everyone, I mean everyone back in the day was aware of it.

From what I know, it was actually a factory backed racer, but titled to Jim Addison to keep the factory out of it, legally. The Detroit Free Press was nebbing around, looking for some kind of "expose'" to reveal the the Big Three messing around with street racing. Hoover tells me that they took great pains to CYOA.

That's what Car Craft Magazine had him using...

When I bought my first HEMI car it had 4 mufflers on it..just like Addison's. It was being raced in pure stock at that time at NTR. I got pulled over in it for it being to loud and forced to take it and get it inspected. Needless to say the mufflers came off.
I was curious about the rear-end that was used. Nice seeing an 8 3/4" in it.

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.


I believe the once you are talking about is by a certain HEMI powered, Lenco trans, Challenger owned and driven by Steve Lisk




I remember the Challenger but I don't recall seeing it run.I had heard that rumor but more often heard one about a certain Pro Stock Mustang that used to be cannon fodder when the big boy Match race cars came to town.I never believed that one because I had never seen it run as fast as Jim.If you recall the next Silver Bullet was never finished and would have been close to running in the 8's with a Lenco etc etc.



I don't remember the mustang, but I do remember a white Thunderbolt, that was suppossed to run 9's, never saw it run anybody allways just sitting. I saw Lisks Challenger run 9.44 at Milan in I'd guess about 1979. Those were the days!

I've been to Detroit quite a few times and sat down with the family members of some of the Highland park gang of engineers who claimed to have run a few times against the Ford boyz with a white Fairlane of some type off of the plant road there.
But it was with one of the Super stock A864 pedigrees not the BULLET.
The Bullet must have been deemed the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] child of covert Factory racing.
I love street race mules, some come in Blue, then Silver and some times in pure BLACK.....
