Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

Here's an old pic of my ex-street racer '67 Barracuda, soon to be reborn. That first picture of the flamed Dart on the very first post on this thread, that's kinda similar to the look I'm shooting for.

the car I fell in LOVE with in 1971 this 1967 GTO started life as a turquoise with painted white top 389 powerglide. it got wrecked in late 69 or early 70 and was disaasembled and built into the show winning GOLDEN GOAT. It won the ISCA in 1973 as POINTS CHAMP in Las Vegas, #1 in the country, then in 1979 he was able to show it again and again it was #1 in the country for the 79-80 season

Jerry bought this car done and it was delivered to his house on a raining morning. I was 13 and riding my 60 cc Chibi motorcycle. I had never seen anything like his in my life. Didn't know what it was, a drag car, what was it. I didn't know anything about show cars, but I learned. Since Jerry and Barb lived 2 houses down from me.

In this picture he had made it driveable and had taken it to a local show.

One day in the mid 2000's Jerry had taken 5 of his cars to a car show just a few miles from the house. His daughters and son in laws helped get the cars there. It was HOT that day and I was working in the yard. So we stopped working and went to check out the show. The show was about over and Barb said "How are we going to get all the cars home?" I raised my hand an said I would drive one. Barb said " well you love the Goat so you can drive it home"

so after drooling over this car for more than 40 years I got to drive it.
