TarheelRick Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Looks representative of the era. Some of those year Gassers got pretty wonky. Your build looks right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 The point was a tongue in cheek poke at the style some street gassers have taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall ever seeing a '64 GTO or anything similar as a gasser back in the day. Anyone with the cash to chop up a brand-new car into a gasser would more likely have built it as an A/FX, or just moved up to a full-on dragster. Gassers were more low-budget, backyard projects that started with older, MUCH less valuable starting points. (Okay, yah, there were a few gasser Sting Rays.) All that said, though, this is still a cool model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that said, though, this is still a cool model. Snake, remember seeing a 65 and 67 GTO "Gassers" at US 30 and Great Lakes in the late 70's. The 65 had been converted by the original owner to its racing form in 1966 according to the then owner. The 67 was restored back to original in the late 80's by a local guy who actually was able to track down the original engine! There were a lot of street gassers here local for a few years. (then they all seemed to disappear into a black hole or something???) Some home builds and some were ex drag cars made streetable! (barely) Most were early Falcons and Chevy II's with a mix of 50's shoebox Fords and Tri Five Chevy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
