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.....

The bullet is A fun car to drive.

The Lisk challenger was my car back in 1988 it was A fun ride to 9.30 threw the fuffs.

A friend of mine in Warren, Ohio bought the Challenger (minus engine and lenco) off of Lisk shortly after the car appeared at the Street Machine Nationals at Indy. I don't remember what year that was.

Late 70's? He put a crossram Hemi and 727 in it along with a T/A hood in place of the Tunnelram hood.

The car was repainted after thieves broke into his garage and stole his tools. They dragged his tool boxes over the front of the car to get to the window. He was heart broken. He said he would have left his tools out in the driveway if it would have kept these kids away from the car. I think he only drove it a couple of times after the repaint and then it sat for a few years.

We lost track of the car after he sold it. Did either of you buy it from him? I think he might still have the engine and trans that he had in the car and if I remember correctly the Lisk engine and trans went into Lisk's brother's car. It's too bad the Lisk Challenger seems to have disappeared into obscurity. I concider it one of the pioneers of the ProStreet movement.

Here's a little trivia I have never seen printed anywhere. Mike Fons built the car for Steve out of a bunch of parts salvaged from a wrecked Prostock Colt. That's why the ladder bars where so short.

Going by the pics that moprod posted, it has the older stripe layout.
I just seem to recall in a post that he had the car and posted a current pic, it doesn't have the same paint on it any longer.
This was all 4-5 years ago, the post is gone to double check so I may have it wrong.

Re: Jimmy Addison and the silver bullet ..pics ? - 11/05/09 09:55 PM

I bought the car from John, who you were refering too. It had the tunnel ram hood on it when I bought it.
I bought it as a rolling car. I put the TA hood on it and painted the stripes. If I only knew then what I know now.

That burnout picture is one that I posted long ago when someone was asking about the car. Taken by a friend of mine.
Without a doubt, The Bullet and the Challenger will be long remembered in Mopar history.

Some time ago there was a guy here from Texas who wanted to Clone the Lisk Challenger and was looking for information. That's probably him. If it is then I set him up to call John and he never did. I never saw him back on Moparts either so I think he may have just joined to ask about the car and never came back.

EDIT: I looked back at my notes and it is not the same person so 71Challenger may in fact have owned the car.

DON'T know much about a Pro Stock Mustang or a white Thunderbolt ... but why has no one mentioned anything about that silver Mustang II ?

The one featured in CC and HR mags .... built by Jack Roush, twin-turbo aluminum Can-Am motor ... that Andy Mannarino said pulled-HARDER in high-gear than his Pro-Stock car.

I rode in that car ... it was SCARY fast ! Oh ... and it "featured" a custom Mister Fiberglass hood !!

i remember lisks challenger and the silver mustang 2 at the nugget restaurant, orchard lake and 696,i believe they met thursday nights there, lisk was changing the spark plugs in the lot but i don't recall the race ever happened that night anyway. owner of the mustang name was ruggerello or something like that.

Joe Ruggerillo....roger that. He knew Wayne Gapp and Jack Roush personally. HELLeva' guy...and the deepest wallet I have ever seen.

I knew Steve Lisk(still has a gas/service station at Square Lake and Telegraph..?) ... but I don't think that Steve wanted ANY PART of that Ford.

I don't think they ever gave-it-a-shot.

John's fine. I saw him the last time I drove my Cuda. About 4 or 5 weeks ago. The F body is his brothers. He bought it new and it is a very low milage Aspen RT. I doubt if it is still there. They had a bit of a falling out.

John does still have his A12 SuperBee though. It is for sale. Don't know how much he wants for it ($$$$$$). If he sells that one he won't have any toys left. He has talked a little about doing a 68 Hemi Cuda Clone. Maybe thats why the A12 is for sale.

I believe he left the glass business about 30 years ago. I bought 2 hoods from him in the late 70's. When I saw him last he was building the ultimate sleeper. An all fiberglass Chrysler Imperial that he was going to put a big stroker engine in and go Street Racing. Wonder if it ever got finished and where it is today. I'm thinking that his name was Eric Hanson and I think I read somewhere that he owns Stage V Engineering. http://www.stagev.com/

GC ... I actually stopped production in the mid-90's to persue other automotive interests. As I have said previously ...I plan on REVIVING Mister Fiberglass in a warmer climate. Oh ..I am not any part of Stage V Engineering.

That Imperial ? .. I never did anything myself on that BUT DID help out Larry Peternel with his pro-stocker. He built the car totally HIMSELF ... and ran a best of 7.60's IIRC.

Sure hope I can get Sudden Death looking as good as the Bullet! At least close. I don't know how much detailing I'll do underneath, since it is going to get driven a bit. It has suffered from long term storage and neglect over the years, but no longer.

The pics of after Sully bought-it are above !! .... HONESTLY ....I have never seen the car(after he got it) up-close ... but just from the pics .. the car is in no-way "correct". Just two items that stand-out .. the car never had chrome bumpers ....and the muff-system never hung-down like that.

WHERE did he find it ? .... when I bought it in the early 80's .... I knew the guy(worked at CTC) who had bought it from a body-shop-guy and he just wanted to broom it. IF this body-shop-guy had not hung NEW extended wheel-well-opening quarter-panels on it ....I would have never sold it ...OR at least as cheap as I did.

Tom ... Honestly ... I think that those bumpers were put-on after Joe owned it .. but I would not bet-my-life on that.

YOU KNOW a ton more about the car than I do .. but I heard the Joe sold the car to a guy in FL .. that was in the PORN industry ...

Is that so ? ..

few times... I had a red and white 62 Dodge Dart back

was about 68 or 69.... I'm pretty sure it was a Shell

I can remember asking all sorts of questions back

Re: Jimmy Addison and the silver bullet ..pics ? - 03/10/10 09:10 PM

Eric,

The photos from the Sudden Death article show it with the fiberglass pro stock bumpers in gray. I'm betting Gapp had a pair of them in the shop, since it was not long before that they were running a Mustang II pro stock.

I'll just take my time sanding down through the white paint to see whats under there

WOW..I knew he sold it to a guy in Miami, but did not know the guy might have been in the porn industry! You never can tell, but I'm trying to piece together the history of the car little by little.

I got it out of New Jersey. Guy I got it from bought it off a car lot!

where it had been sitting out in the weather. Thankfully he put it in storage, so it could have been worse condition if not for that.

Ruggirello Mustang II update - 05/17/10 11:34 PM

Hi Guys,
Thought I'd post a couple of quick update photos of the car. Got quite a bit done to it the past month. Installed new stainless fuel lines/AN fittings under the car, new battery cables front to rear. Adjusted the coil overs down a bit over an inch to help the stance until I get the rear suspension restored back to original

Also installed new 5 lug rotors, calipers, hoses, master cylinder. It had no brakes when I got it. Had the wheels restored back to their original machined finish, nice original center caps, correct lug nuts, new tires. Used 30-13.5-15 M/T ET streets on the rear and Firestone Wide Oval D70-14's on the front.

I think the wheel/tire combo turned out great. At least it doesn't look as homely as it did

Next project is turbo removal and header fabrication. Once done, I can install the correct hood/scoop as original.

At least its a start in the right direction!

Posted By: Troublemaker427

Re: Ruggirello Mustang II update - 05/18/10 02:16 PM

The car is looking great. It's very cool that you are restoring it. Have you attempted to contact Jack Roush regarding it?

The story I heard was a bigblock Camaro out of the Booth & Arons shop got around the Bullet once. But they say the Bullet had a plug wire off and when it was fixed they raced again and the Bullet won. That was the only time the Bullet ever lost according to the stories I have read. Ron

I know he did about 7 years ago.. he had a shop full of cars
down the street from where my brother worked.. my brother
took his altered down the road for a quick shot and next thing
we know is one of Sullivans guy pulled out and made a shot
down the street... we got to BSing and found out that Sullivan
had a shop down the street and was getting ready for Woodward
Cruise that was about a week away(this is in the subs of Detroit)
I remember going up to the Shell station back when I was a
kid and trying to BS with those guys... I was 16 then and
raced out on Woodward.. but not in the class they did.. I
finally bought a hemi for my 62 Ply based on Sullivan and
the Bullet.. but I did talk with them a lot

The last I heard... yes.. but that was a few years back
but I dont think he had any plans on selling it.. he was
buying more cars all the time... so why would he sell..
he has a BIG garage.. with LOTS of cars
EDIT
there is a high dollar place on Woodward that is selling
garage space that has its own TEST TRACK.. it wouldnt
surprise me if he hasnt bought one of them... ALL big
dollar cars... heard they are in the $300K for them
