Whose wheelstanding 68 is this one?

[bull]

  A local guy posted this pic on his craigslist ad but based on the banner along the track I assume it was taken in or near Bakersfield, Ca.

Isn't that Ron's?   

[bull]

I did think of that but then someone probably would have told us if was able to get the front end four feet off the ground? Besides, he probably doesn't travel to California too often to drag race.

Tries do not look wrinkled at all, could it be chopped. . If not chopped, damn impressive.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

what a cool picture I don't think it's Rons but maybe with that  new motor he got it is him

Would the tires be wrinkled if it was on its way back down?

[nvrbdn]

he would have done a great job on the reflection on a photo shop.

[1974dodgecharger]

oh snap dominic torretto at the track I thought he street races only? 

[greenpigs]

I think it is legit.

It looks like it was on its way up at launch, front suspension is fully extended and some space between wheelie bars and pavement. If it was on the bars then the tires would wrinkle I bet.

Nice Charger even if I got it wrong!

[UFO]

I see tread on those hoosier's.
Would a dot sidewall wrinkle?

[PocketThunder]

I thought Ron sold that Charger to buy an A-body.?..??

[firefighter3931]

Nope, not my car  The Black Pig is waaay too noseheavy to get that much air. 

I believe that car is a stocker based on the west coast and have seen pics of it before. From what i remember reading, the driver is female 



Ron

Not that Ron. Firefighter Ron.

[greenpigs]

The other Ron is dead to me.

I thought he sold the A body and has some GM ride?

Anyways, he had a 499 with all the speed shit in a Summits catalog and it wasn't much quicker than the REAL DEAL Ron's 446 Black Pig.

[472 R/T SE]

If we're talking about the same guy, his name is Jim, not Ron.  Only guy I know who lost weight (off himself) so his car would go faster.  Username is the "shift on 8" sign, what I call cat's butt   *

[PtitRaisin]

Cool picture!

[mauve66]

I thought Ron sold that Charger to buy an A-body.?..??

so which of those "A rated bodies" did he purchase?? or could he only afford to rent them for the night??

[bull]

Rental. And he got a three for one deal thanks to Photoshop.

[firefighter3931]

Same car from a slightly different angle 


Ron

Gotta see more of this car       any more pics?

[Darkman]

Something doesn't look right about the rear wheel (driver's side) in the first pic. It looks like a wheel from an open wheeler or dragster (just my )

I was 1 car ahead of him in Tech at March Meet last year...  Beautiful car and WAY quick.

You hope when a front end is up that high they don't get scared and let off,lots of damage !!!!!!!

What could the driver possibly be looking at? All he can see is sky. He has to be thinking and praying for it to go straight. He would not even see if it was heading for the wall. Has to be a thrill like no other.

[Finn]

I tried googling the car, didn't find anything on it yet but I did find this; Cool vintage 68 charger racer:

Ever driven a tractor? Right brake, left brake, right brake, left brake....Yes, looking at the horizon is a trip in itself. The 5.0 liter guys do this all the time when they set the suspension up albeit incorrewctly for a quick pass, but for nothing more than showing off. If your tires are in the air, your losing time. You lose more than that if you "Drop" it...

Very cool. Good on her 

[bull]

Ok, since I'm not too knowledgeable about drag racing I gotta ask what this thing is for? It's not the wheelie bar. Is it something to protect the diff?

[BIGBLCK11]

  Awesome car!  It makes me wish mine was painted black. 

[dmann]

it is lynsi,s 68 super stocker of the in and out burger race team with jones engine development power--pro-trans trick torqueflite---the brackets hanging down are wheelie bar mounts--i heard the car has been in her family forever---she is one attractive lady

[surmanajaja]

yes she is. here is a pic of her.

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/boyd-57478-trustee-snyder.html

car is very nice. wonder how fast it goes`?

[XS29L]

I've been searching for info on this car. Found some racing results. Some qualifying info shows 10.20. Still looking for more info. That car is awesome !!    

[dmann]

heres the scoop --best et  10.00 @129.00--not bad for a 3700 lbs steel headed charger with original carb!   awesome car but not the best combo for the class it has to run in--but very cool!----dave

I think it keeps her from going back on her bumper?

I was going to say that was at the March meet but I wasn't sure, it's a sweet running 68 Charger R/T & a beautiful gal...
