Identify that car....

[mightymouse]

Blue one is a 66 Nova? second a 72 barracuda?

Nope and nope. The idea is to identify the car, not the model. These were two of the most influential street machines of all time. Both were featured in national magazines, and each are the subject of many Internet rumors.

Just one more...and then I'm off to bed. ETA: Just a hint...one more of Hot Rod magazine's all-time Top Ten Street Machines.

And here's another (I will tell you that the car's colors are red and white):

Let's play identify that car--post a pic of a famous street machine and see who can identify it. I'll start with an easy one:

Scott Sullivan...started the "pro street" craze.

Hemi Challenger with a Lenco via Steve Lisk

Bingo!!!! Steve Lisk's 1971 Dodge Challenger with a Pro Stock Hemi with twin Holley Dominators and a four speed Lenco transmission straight out of Mike Fon's Pro Stock Mopar. Quite possibly the first street car to run in the nine second range (9.70 in the quarter mile).

Crazy to think you can buy a factory street legal car from Dodge now that runs faster. Not by much...and in perfect conditions...but it still did it.

Yep. Scott Sullivan's award winning blown big block Chevy II. A huge influence on the "pro street" movement, just as Steve Lisk and his Hemi Challenger were.
