Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Doug Engels and his new car made a few test and tune passes at Thunder Valley Dragway this past weekend.

It is a thing of beauty.

You will have to see it for yourself.

Here are a couple teaser photos...

OK, I'm a MoPar guy but.......WOW! Jim

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

It's a lock for best appearing or best engineered, take your pick.

What a pretty piece!

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Why does that car look vaguely familiar? This one was taken in my driveway, 40 years ago next month.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Outstanding!!

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

I watched Ed Stokes race the old Skyline Texaco Modified Corvette for a long long time. Ed raced at my home track for decades.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Tim, your pictures of the car are fantastic. You can give everyone the real deal if u want to post a few more. The car turned out really well and its something that everyone needs to see in person. Its by far the nicest car I have ever had the privilege to be around and work on! Chuck, what's the history on the vette in your post? Dougs car is Jim Warters old Joint Venture modified production car.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Now THATS cool.....and no giant hood scoop as big as the car. Dougs Corvette is STILL a very BEAUTIFUL car with one. .

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Beautiful car .
But I am partial to red Corvettes!
Accent stripe is just enough to set the car apart ,definately a Best Appearing candidate.
Been a long time since I can remember anyone running a 6cyl in a early Vette.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Very nice. But then every thing Doug has had was very nice. I used to really enjoy when he would come up and test. I loved the roadster he used to run.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!! Love them V-6 cars!!! And early Corvettes also!

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Testimony to S SS, beautiful show cars in action. If NHRA only knew the goldmine they had in the back forty.....

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

That is one beautiful Corvette. Having a NCRS plate on it is especially fitting; considering that the restoration crowd will go into cardiac arrest when they see it!

It's great to see an older body style built for a change instead of all the late model FWD conversion entries. I wish Doug nothing but success with his new ride, and agree that it is very deserving of a "Best Appearing" Wally, hopefully in the near future.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

As typical with anything Doug is involved in. It is a work of art and I'm sure it will be fast too. I can't wait to see it live and in person.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Love your Nomad to Randall.....Its even nicer with no decals all over it. I remember it from the US Class Nationals.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Tim, I know its a S/SS forum but maybe u could sneak a photo in of Dougs street car. Don't think anyone would care once they saw the photo, plus it kinda puts the whole racecar thing into perspective!!! Thanks again for the great photos.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Beautiful car,,,I remember when Jimmy ran it up here in the NW. Good luck with the V-6, what an awesome piece. The geometry on that throttle linkage looks wierd,,,hope it works smoothly. Is it too early to think about the "Western Swing"? It'd be great to see it out here again. Take care.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Oh yeah, the seven second street car!! Just a little something Doug has lying around. The superstocker turned out great. Well worth the wait I'd say.

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Close but no cigar Tim!! That car is his brothers 61 street car. May have to look at your automania pics. The one im talking about is his 58 pro-street car, its only been to Thundervalley for 1 pass. 8.48@158 mph in street trim with the small jet in the plate. Waiting for a cool weekend when were not racing the super sticker. Looking for that magic "7" to show up on the scoreboard!!!

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

I would letter "Blue Flame Six" on the forward edge of the scoop!
Beautiful car!

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Good idea!

Looks like someone forgot to take out the scoop plug?

Re: Doug Engels new Super Stocker
 

Nope, having some air issues under the hood. Ran it with scoop plug in.
