Racing Junk Find: An Ultra Rare and Ultra Fast 1968 Plymouth GTX With Factory Hemi Power
Posted in General News April 18, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Just yesterday we took our first ride of the year in our father in law’s Plymouth GTX. That particular car sports a 440 and an automatic, unlike this machine we found for sale on Racing Junk. One of just over 200 Hemi GTXs made in 1968 with a four speed transmission, this car was designed [...]
Racing Junk Find: The Only Blown Alky Jeep Cherokee on Earth
Posted in General News April 11, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
When an awesome idea gets fed to a professional that can execute it, great things happen. This Jeep is without a doubt the coolest Jeep we have ever seen. We know about the drag race Wranglers and the old timey Jeep floppers, but nothing is cooler than this Cherokee with a damned 1500hp blown alky [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Bad Ass Poncho Powered Pontiac Drag Warrior
Posted in General News April 7, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
There are lots of Pontiac bodied drag race cars prowling strips across America, but few of them have actual Pontiac power. Nope, most of them are just a Pontiac body holding a Chevy motor. Not this one though. Packing a 1,000hp specialty Pontiac engine, this Firebird is just about one of a kind. The car [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Beautiful Bonneville Racer 1955 Chevy
Posted in General News March 10, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
While there are probably a number of practical racing arguments against owning this absolutely awesome 1955 Chevy LSR machine, the non-practical reasons for owning it number in the thousands. The good is that the car has run 198mph and it did that last year. Knowing that tells us the car is legal and passed the [...]
Racing Junk Find: A ZL-1 Camaro Super Stocker That’s Ready To Run
Posted in General News March 1, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
In the ranks of Super Stock, the closer your class designation gets to the beginning of the alphabet, the quicker and faster you’ll be. Naturally, if you find yourself behind the wheel of a SS/A or B machine, your fanny is strapped into some hot iron. Such is the case with this 1969 Camaro ZL-1 [...]
Racing Junk Find: An Awesome 1965 Malibu SS With A 14-71 Blown, 529-ci Rodeck Motor
Posted in General News February 16, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
In the event that a giant bag of money fell from the sky this week, we’d spend every penny on this kick ass 1965 Malibu SS and run it this weekend at the PSCA Record Breaker Nationals in Las Vegas. The car sports an all-aluminum 529ci Rodeck engine topped with a massive 14-71 Littlefield supercharger. [...]
Racing Junk Find: Jim Yates Racing Pro Stock Operation
Posted in General News February 8, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Jim Yates is a two time NHRA World Champ in the Pro Stock division. Currently he works with up and comer Shane Gray as opposed to operating his own team as he had done in years past. We saw that Jim was selling his whole operation, or what remains of it. The ad is pretty [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Cummins Diesel Powered Funny Car
Posted in General News February 2, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
With all the talk of dragsters and funny cars around here recently, we went shopping for one on RacingJunk. After seeing several “normal” floppers, we saw this car, which we have read about on the pages of Diesel Power magazine for sale. Sporting an inline six Cummins diesel, the car has run down in the [...]
Racing Junk Find: A 1974 Corvette With Some Dubious Claims Behind It
Posted in General News January 19, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
When we run across an ad for a “1500hp” Corvette that was originally equipped with a 427/435hp engine…in 1974 we need to share it. There is clearly a photo showing a 427ci/435hp identification plate glued to the center console, so perhaps the seller has the most rare Corvette ever made. Hell, perhaps an engine was [...]
Racing Junk Find: A 1970 Chevelle SS Wagon We’re Selling a Kidney For
Posted in General News January 12, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Old wagons are cool in all of their forms, but when said wagon had been warmed up with respect to performance, the cool meter gets pegged. Such is the case with this kick ass 1970 Chevelle wagon that now wears SS trim. It isn’t a road rocket by any means, but you could pin the [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Built to the Hilt Chevy Even Goliath Would Bow To!
Posted in General News January 5, 2011 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This is one bad ass Chevy. Packing the best of the best in parts and construction this mud racing monster has a full roller 496ci big block Chevy that cranks out 600hp. That power gets sent through modified 2.5-ton Rockwell axles that are packed with spools on both ends and giant King shocks on all [...]
Racing Junk Find: The Wildest Jeep in the West
Posted in General News December 29, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Man, we have to find a way to hit the sand dunes some day. Why? Because bat poop crazy stuff like this Jeep packing a 600ci big blog is there. This baby must be able to throw sand grains into low Earth orbit. Volcanic ash causing those weird colors in the sky? Hell no, it [...]
Racing Junk Find: A Gorgeous 1964 Pontiac Catalina with Tri-Power 421 Power
Posted in General News December 23, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Early 1960s Pontiacs have a class all their own. In their time, not much was capable of hanging with them on the strip. The 421ci Super Duty engine was legend and having a street car sporting that plant with tri-power on top and a four-speed behind it meant that you pretty much owned the road. [...]
Racing Junk Find: A 1933 Ford Dump Truck That Proves We’re Not As Weird As We Think We Are
Posted in General News December 8, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
If we knew the guy who commissioned the building of this totally awesome 1933 Ford dump truck racer, we’d give him a bear hug. Why? Because it proves that we’re not the total freak job weirdos that we thought we were before seeing this baby. Someone else is as twisted as us! Look at this [...]
Racing Junk Find: The Craziest Freaking Project We Have Ever Seen
Posted in General News November 11, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
We were happily searching RacingJunk recently when we navigated into the exhibition drag racing vehicle section. We expected a jet car, wheelstander, or some other vehicle along those lines. Instead we found the wildest abandoned project we think we’ve ever seen, a partially built monster truck sized motorcycle. Not a trike, or some weirdo quad, [...]
RacingJunk Find: A Cool (and Cheap) 1973 Ford Pinto V8
Posted in General News October 7, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
Ah, the Ford Pinto. Derided in its time as an underpowered rolling dose of Napalm, the venerable Pinto now enjoys cult status as a good start for a hot rod project. They were kind of weird looking in an awesome way as Pro Stockers. This clean, Cragar-equipped example we found at RacingJunk.com is a perfect [...]
