It appears the photo was taken at Thompson, Ohio. I am also guessing it is a modern (ie not vintage) photo.

Thanks -

I'd imagine it ended up on the "used car lot" when they were done with it. hard to say, you might contact Merle Green, who owns the 66 Knafel car, since I think he's done alot of research regarding the Knafel cars, and has talk with Arlen Vanke and Doc Dixon and others. maybe still lurking "under the radar" in Ohio somewhere?

Re: Pam Anderson - Jerry, you might want to schedule a Doctor's appointment...



I was thinking the same thing. Who knows what you would catch from that hag with you. A "high miler" for sure.

Not really, but, There's a small pic of it in Pete Mcarthy's book on PG 152, Pete says it a 63 SD lemans coupe built by Larry Swiatek, who also ran the "Gray Ghost" series of cars. don't know if he means it's one of the factory SD cars or not though.

The 69 GTO I think was Fred Borcherts' car 'Rocky's Goat' out of Delaware before it became the 'Nemisis'.

[Bill Eveland]

Some really old stuff, I would love to have that supercharger set up. Or any of the cars in the background for that matter.

That is Houston. It was called Freeway Drag strip, at that time, I believe.

I'm the one with the small (Cushman motorscooter front wheels and hubs, with ribbed "high-speed" boat trailer tires).

Directly behind me is Rodney Singer. I think he was from the Houston area.

Buggs Threadgill is the second car over, on the front row. He was from around Houston, too.

The beautiful full-bodied Chrysler that is showing sideways on the third row is Bobby Langley of Everman, Texas.

That car of mine was the world's quickest and fastest unblown gasser, and later, with a 6-71 GMC blower, we made the biggest improvement ever in the NHRA ET record. We dropped the record from 9.40 to 8.84. "First in the Eights on gas"
Very light car-- 1094 pounds, if I remember right. And that was with iron block and heads!

Seems like a long time ago!!

Ben D'Pietro, circa 63/64 from Popular Hot Rodding Magazine, May 1964. Benny ran a 52 Kaiser Henry J in A/Gas with Pontiac Power. It had a 62 or 63 SD 421 bored or stroked (or both) to 440 c.i. He ran a Racer Brown roller cam with perhaps Jahns pistons and Hilborn injection. Car had a B&M Hydrostick cast iron 4 speed automatic with 33 Studebaker front end and 57-64 Pontiac Olds rear. I believe he used to match race a blown Vette. They used to give the Vette the head start. Bennie was still into cars as of May 2007, alive and well in his 80's. This car and some of the motor stuff was floating around the Mass/RI area in the early to mid 80's. There was a finned aluminum valley cover installed after this picture. Oddly enough, the finned valley cover was raised and flat on top and would clear very few induction systems. With the Hilborn, you had to mill out the fins under the barrel valve bracket to clear!

Interesting old Henry-J. That's a first for me- seeing big holes cut out of a bumper- presumably to lighten it? That's a neat plumbing job to take the water from the fronts of the heads back to the radiator.

Here is Jack Chrisman driving his M/T Pontiac HEMI fueler in '62.
Note- this is a different car than the M/T Pontiac HEMI digger that won Indy that year. There were 2 ( at least ).
