One of my favorites was Mike Coe's "Hemi Express" 69 Roadrunner and others from my youth were "Chopping Block" "Wild Cherry" "Dads Toy" "Mellow Yellow" "Bad Company" "Wild Horse" "Black Nightmare"
Always liked the "High Adventure Hemi's" as well!

Wes Leopold's gorgeous "Daddy's Toy" '63 Dodge B/SA, Carl Schodde's "Steel City Wedge" cars and of course Jerry Stein's famed "Teachers Pet" Max Wedge cars.

Just curious..How much did it cost to get "Neiborhood" painted on your car? ;-)

Thumbs up Re: Car Name Memories

My Dad and I named our 1st drag car "Frustration" also. A '60 Impala w/ a 348, and a powerglide. We had a lot of fun, but it was all a learning experience too, hence the name. Non-related but still a good story: In the fall of 1969 a guy named Roy Crandall showed up to the Cicero,NY
strip with a new Factory S/S AMX. It was very fast, but He missed a shift
& blew the engine in the final of S/S. The next spring he returned and had "2nd Attempt" painted on the doors. The car was pretty cool to me as a diehard 17 year old Chevy kid back then.
Stay safe everyone, and God Bless.
Walt

Cool Re: Car Name Memories

Any body remember a Ford Pinto, I think it was a Super Gas car, named Blazing Saddles? That one was kind of neat.
