missing car, please help. This Anglia ran in Southwest Ohio in
1971-72. It was sold as a roller to a guy in Dayton, Ohio who also
raced a Nova named “Scooby Doo”. The car was detailed to show
quality, as well as being an actual race car. The color was a
period Candy Red with lettering by NHRA Hall of Fame “The
Dauber.” The front suspension is fully chromed as well as the
rear. It had spindle mounted American mags up front. It was
stopped by rear disc brakes. The bottom of the car, the
transmission tunnel and fire wall were all polished sheet aluminum. The
roof insert was a red Plexiglas. The rear suspension was a modified
four bar with coil-overs. The hood was one piece fiberglass.If you have ANY information from the past as to the where-a-bouts of this race car please help Michael Thompson find and refurbish this piece of racing history! Contact us at www.HistoricRaceCarForum.com and thanks for you help.

"Drag Wedge"
Car
Craft
Magazine said these important facts about "Drag Wedge":
“Easily one of the most unique cars on the drag strip today, the
STP Drag Wedge appears to have overcome most of the problems that
have accounted for the generally disappointing performance of
rear-engined drag cars to date. Most notably the long wheelbase
should offer a substantial increase in the car’s high-speed
stability, and enhance the driver’s ‘feel’ of the car at
speed.”
If you know where this car is please contact us. If your remember seeing this car after it move from Granatelli’s warehouse those would be important details we can use to trace down this piece of racing history. Take a minute and email us your info or call me, Don at 619.804.8033.

“Javelin 2” Funny Car
HELP
locate missing car!
In 1967 Doug Thorley was making racing history with his Corvair Funny
Car winning the US Nationals at Indy. A copy of this ran on
strips for 2 years but with a Javelin body. Why? Midstream in
its
construction Doug received a new sponsorship from American
Motors. The car was renamed “Javelin 2” on a Logge Funny Car
Chassis, Detroit. [Note: As history turns out Doug thereafter retired
the winning Corvair and replaced it with yet a third car “Javelin
1”−one of the first rear engine funny cars.]
“Javelin 2” never returned from touring. DID YOU SEE IT RUN? It along with a 1965 Chevy 1 ton car-hauler are missing in action. If you have information/photographs regarding this car’s last few appearances or whereabouts please let Doug know!!!
Send info to Doug Thorley, Attention: Don Burdge, 9132 Iroquois Way, Weldon, CA 93283. If you prefer contact Doug & Don at Historic Race Car Forum via email at dburdge@flex.com.
Doug’s “Chevy 2 Much” Funny Car in the Wally Park’s NHRA Museum in Pomona, CA, is going up for sale to allow Doug to further pursue “Javelin 2” and other projects. HELP IF YOU CAN!
