Vintage Anglia Drag Car

In the late 1970s and early 1980s I worked at the local speed shop. The shop was One Stop Performance in Omaha, Nebraska. The Manager of the shop owned this Anglia called Bandit. The small block powered car was cleaner and nicer than most drag cars. I have wanted a killer Anglia ever since!

1967 R/T 440 4-Speed

Here is one for all of the Mopar fanatics. A very nice 1967 440/4-barrel R/T with a 4-speed. This car was at the Street Machine Nationals and had big and little Centerline wheels and painted bumpers.

Day II Mach 1 Mustang

The Car Craft Street Machine Nationals were Muscle Car Heavan! Everywhere you looked was a stock or modified musclecar. This photo was taken in Indy 1980, you could still find a Mach 1 in every newspaper for sale cheap. Customizing a car like this was so commom.

Note: Look at the cars in the background!

Tunnel Ram Challenger- KCIR Drags 1978

Remember, this photo was taken when you could buy a perfect Hemi car for $5000 bucks, I know because I passed on one! I was at Kansas Cities, KCIR Raceway in the late Spring of 1978 and this car sat in the staging lanes. I remember that it was super nice.

The car was tubbed and had the leaf springs moved in to accept the 12” slicks. The motor was a 440 topped with a tunnel ram and two 850cfm Holley double pumpers.

1971 Stage 1 Buick

This Stage 1 Buick cruised the streets of Omaha, NE in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The car had flawless Silver paint and Orange pinstripes down the side. The Centerline wheels with 4” fronts and 8.5” rears were state-of-the art for the day. As far as I know, the car is still in Omaha and shows up once in a while at the local cruise night.

There was another Buick that roamed the streets back then as well. The car was White with Black stripes and wore Stage 2 badges! The Stage 2 looked sinister with its flat black fiberglass racing bumpers. Where that piece of muscle car history is today is unknown?

454 Baldwin-Motion Camaro

Omaha, Nebraska 1977, I was in high-school and this car sat in the garage down the street. The day I shot the photo was the last time I ever saw it on the car being driven. This Baldwin-Motion Camaro had a 454, 4-speed with overdrive and Cragar Super Trick wheels. The Camaro had just 7500 miles showing on the odometer, it blew a timing chain and became a garage dweller.
