I found some pics on the web of my old race car.The original car was built and raced by Bert Straus.When Bert raced the car he set the National Record in D/Altered with a SBC 4 Spd.To say the least it was a crowd pleaser.I stripped and painted the car silver for the street and installed a BBC.

Great story about Bert, and those photos of your car are awesome! Thanks for sharing

Really cool! I bet that was a handful with a BBC :)

Very cool! I like it in silver and the wheelie bars. :burnout:

Love the keystones!

Thanks to all.

What a sweet ride! No mistaking it for anything else.

Thanks for sharing.

Always a fast man in any Class he ran. "Chief" Chilly Willy.

I LOVE the fish SCALES.... NICE paint WORK!!!

Or is that a diamond quilted pattern? Whatever it is it looks KILLER!

Fancy paint for sure but not what you want on a car that may (wink wink) be participating in the odd street race :smile:

If I am reading this correctly, Ziggy bought this as a retired drag car with the fancy paint job and had it repainted silver before repowering it with a BBC and using as a street/strip car.

I see the Performance Engineering Limited label on the rear quarters. If I am not mistaken, that business was owned/run by Dave Billes of the Canadian Tire family. Father of Al Billes, former Pro Mod racer and present day engine builder.
