Don't remember seeing "Grumpy's Toy" anywhere.

Bobby Harrop and his "Flying Carpet".

A '65 426 srteet wedge out of Levittown NJ called "Goat Herder".

Dan Dvorak's "Lawman" '63 Dodge wagon.

A black '63 Dodge out of Dallas called: "Rampage"

And a '64 Max wedge Plymouth out of Austin Tx called: "Longhorn" which I now own.

I had a couple......67 Chevelle 396/375(rated @ 425) called 'Aggravation', a 69 Camaro 427/425 called 'Law and Order'. I drove a 65 hemi Dodge called 'The Reverend Mr. Black', and Alfred Walker's 68 Camaro Pro Stocker called "The Savage Rat'. I also owned a 72 Vega from Scuncio Chevrolet that was more street car than race car, that was known as 'Streetmaster' and paid for itself more than once. Anybody remember Bobby Brown's 'Goldfinger' 66 Chevelle?

Sure do Arnold. There is a picture of it on one of the Jalopy Journal threads. I've been told that David Surles also owned that car at one time. Do you know if that is true?

Anyone want to take a guess what I do?

I once saw a small photo in 70s drag race mag of what I can remember, a mid 60s Chevelle Super Sport with the name:

RatS
S***

Do any of you remember this car? I always like that name. I figured that it had a Big Block.

Grumpys Toys, though mentioned has to be one of the more famous. How about "The Badman". It was a great model that I know I built a couple times.
